Argentina: Cheaper car in Paraguay?:

I keep hearing people saying how someone went and bought a brand new car in paraguay for much less than the regular retail price. Is this just an exaggeration or is this really doable to save several thousands of dollars on a brand new vehicle, and if so then how is this still allowed? or perhaps it's done illegaly? meaning i'd have to bribe the border police? Thanks

Argentina: New immigration rules for Argentina?:

Macri did make a mistake i think by labeling bolivians and paraguayans as the source of the problem in the fight against gang related violence. It's not necessarily the poor in the villa who are perpetuating the problem, but rather the corrupt officials, the police and municipalities that cannot be disciplined for obvious reasons. plus criminal backgroubd check is already in place for anybody wanting to get their DNI, what they want is to copy trump's policies and use racial profiling as a way to filter out the supposed bad guys, which will only spoil relationships with our neighbors and sow deep divisions within our already fragmented society. wonder what happened to his ambitious promise to reform the police? he was politely reminded that such plan is not advisable.

Argentina: Making the move?:

Nicole, BA is perfect. You can walk anywhere you like at any time of the day or night, carry cash in public places, even count it on the street, no one cares, people here are full of cash anyways, do not worry about your smart phone being stolen or even your new shoes, its totally safe here. All you need to do is withdraw as much dollars as possible and fly here, then go out and people new people. explore the outskirts too, not only the boring touristy downtown. the greater BA area can be a great cultural exchange, people there are very hospitable, you can hitchhike too, no need to pay for a taxi. have fun!

Argentina: Tax Amnesty:

Is anyone even bothering declaring overseas assets and cash savings here at home? This has failed in the past and why should it be any different this time? Considering the same lack of transparency and ever growing corruption.

Argentina: buying hectares for almond production:

I'd like to know if buying an arid mendoza property is a good bet for almond production. Land around San Rafael and General Alvear have come down in price in recent years, seems like an opportunity. here are some questions if someone could please enlighten me. 1. how much money should i put aside for a deep well that's to be sufficient for around 3-5 hectares of newly planted almond seedlings? (with efficient irrigation system in place) 2. what kind of soil issues should i be looking out for prior to buying? 3. frost and wind issues to consider? 4. how many people are actually growing almonds in south eastern mendoza? 5. would i need a lawyer to deal with future labor disputes? 6. any advice on dealing with sleazy realtors? i obviously want the best value per ha, and do not need any mejoras, en blanco would suffice.

Argentina: Sell my AR Pesos for US$:

hey Tom, make sure you get the new blue bills, too much fake old dollars floating around, so i hear.

Argentina: Looking for a job:

consider selling lighter parts in the villa, some are in dire need for those!

Argentina: Choosing gift vouchers for Argentine staff:

just hand them a grilled morcilla on white bread and cheaply printed happy new year card, plus some candy for kids and done deal.

Argentina: Help please:

What kind of advice do you want? Do you not already know that all three of those countries have serious problems? Where are you from and what prompted you to seek such change in your life?
