Nothing has changed globally, come and visit!
Still the same easy legalization, still the same strong passport – 11th strongest in the world, still the same ruthless slow-moving bureaucracy (don’t do it at home without professional stuntmen). Still the same friendly society, tolerant of all races, nations and other modes of expression. The unique nature has not gone anywhere! Mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls – everything is still there. The whales have raised their calves and swam out into the big ocean, but they will be back by spring. The climate has not deteriorated, Buenos Aires is still as beautiful and pleases with exhibitions and music festivals.
Yes, steaks are no longer the same: instead of $10 for a half kilo, they are now $20. Terrifying prices. And a babysitter/housekeeper/gardener is no longer $2 an hour, but $3, just brutal.

The nice facts:
- My Argentine stock portfolio is up 53% in $ in six months (hello, skeptics)
- Banks have added settlement in dollars and crypto with no restrictions
- Contracts in any currency are allowed in the country, even in noncoins
- The national currency has strengthened, and inflation has slowed down significantly
We are waiting for customs duties to decrease, real estate prices to rise, and we are happy to see new memes every week.
