[@tutornotepad]

@4:30 I am staying in Oaxaca, Mexico, and I stand out as a white man. I always heard that Mexicans are very friendly, but I do not see it here. I also speak near fluent Spanish, and that helps. But I still feel like I 'm not welcome in this part of Mexico. I was walking this morning, and when I passed a lady on the sidewalk, I said, "Buen Dia!" She did not respond. Most people will respond to me, but they never initiate it. When my rent contract is up in January, I will take my dollars somewhere else. I really want to learn more about Argentina. When I was younger trying to learn Spanish, I had a girl friend from Buenas Aires. She was Italian and beautiful. When I travel to Argentina, I will try to look her up. Thanks for the informative video!

Buenos Aires is a big city. Maybe you could visit Cordoba that is a not as big of a city where people usually engage more often in casual conversation with strangers. Still from what i hear foreigners find argentinians nice. Ive been in USA 20 years ago and i was told that americans would be cold and distant but i found to be the opposite. They were generally cheerful and chill.

[@PaulTech]

Thanks very much for making this informative video. It was especially interesting to hear that Buenos Aires is not necessarily less safe than major Western cities. From what I've been able to find out, strong inflation, which as you rightly point out hits the poorest hardest, is historically *always* due to money printing to pay for deficit spending. Sounds familiar to us Anglosphere northerners too eh. So it wouldn't be a function of capitalism or socialism as much as it is Statism or Collectivism: big government of whatever colour. What amazes me is that Argentines dont seem to have had their character debased along with their currency! Any idea why? Thanks again and best wishes for your travels.

[@theliftingnomad]

It’s kind of hard to say. I think fundamentally Latino people care for different things. Usually an emphasis on family life, work life balance, hobbies. VS the American ideals of just focusing exclusively on yourself and work.

Alex here again! I just found your channel this morning. We have a lot alike although we are probably 45 years apart in age!! I am 72. I am going to BA in January for a month after a 34 day cruise from LA to BA! My first cruise but I would say I am very well traveled. I have been to BA two times before. In 2016-17, I spent 3 months there and again in 2019, I spent 2 months there. Both times in Palermo but different parts of that huge neighborhood. This time I will be in Recoleta. I always join a gym and very much a daily gym person. I was also a runner til I stopped when I turned 70! The gyms in Buenos Aires were very small and old…at least near where I stayed in 2016-17. A bit better in 2019. Running outside was great with their parks and it is very flat. Running in neighborhood was hard because streets are cobblestone and sidewalks are broken up! Sun comes up early and so hot early for runners! Yes often saw many young people walking home from a night out! My question is about exchanging money. In 2016-17, the exchange rate was 17 pesos to a USD, then in 2019, it was 38 pesos. Now it is 100% inflation per year. They also have a MEP for visitors. How did you pay for every day items, like grocery store? Did visitors get MEP rate at ATM machines? I know to bring crisp $100 bills. Did you use Western Union? Sorry the long post but we have somewhat similar lives, except never out past 10 pm usually!

[@theliftingnomad]

No worries! Yes you’re correct. There are some good gyms in Palermo, for Recoleta I’m not sure. As for USD, they have PagoLinea which are basically cash houses that are legal. I used this instead of WU because I am Canadian, and just used cash to pesos, and paid everything in cash. 1 USD now is close to 800 pesos. I’d still recommend going this route. Keep in mind the cash houses may not have the largest denomination so make sure to ask when exchanging bills.

[@coachab100]

@@theliftingnomad what is a large denomination?

[@juanmanuelprat5490]

Right now, biggest bill is 2,000 pesos. That is 2 usd now. BUT, it may change soon as elections get sorted out in January, I'd suggest to check again current status of foreign exchange market as things may change after Dec 10. New administration hopefully.

[@cheesecake4648]

A good gym chain is "Sport Club". Just make sure you cancel the month prior to your departure and corroborate they are closing down your subscription. If the people in the gym are not physical ed teachers, you don't take advice from no one. No one with a measly little degree that takes up to max 1 year to get it (like personal trainer) is going to know sh1t about human body, training and how not to get hurt in the attempt.

[@stevekollen1672]

Your comment on being able to "fit in" with your fair looks and eyes really struck me. Did anybody ever take you for an Argentinian before you spoke? I'm assuming you still have a foreign accent, despite how much Spanish you've learned over the last year or so. I'm a naturalized Costa Rican citizen (living in CR since 1997) and can pass for a local until people see my looks. That means that as soon as people see me, they tend to set up a mental filter and decide to treat me differently. I'm interested in going to Argentina for that and other reasons. So your take on that would be very interesting to me.

[@theliftingnomad]

As soon as I spoke they could tell I wasn’t from there. But of all the LATAM countries I’ve been to I fit in the easiest by FAR in Argentina. Walking down the street no one even notices me, versus like Peru I get harassed every time I walk outside. Id say 50% of everyone I met assumed I was Argentinian until we started talking, they always addressed me in Spanish in a fair fast tone (not like a slow tourist Spanish), if that makes sense.

Great video! Visa pays the blue dollar rate which is twice as many pesos to the US$ as the red or official rate. Mastercard doesn't. We just finished with my two-week holiday in Argentina: BA, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and back to BA. We were informed by our tour guide for the Recoleta Cemetary that Visa pays the blue dollar rate. We had to pay by card to enter the Recoleta Cemetary as they don't accept cash. I used my UK Visa card and discovered that I was only charged GBP 4.74 entrance fee to the Recoleta Cemetery. I then started to use my Visa card and discovered that I was getting an exchange rate of AR$340 to 1 US$. Which is not too different from the current blue rate of AR$380 to 1 US$. We're vegans and found lots of vegan restaurants and most other restaurants have at least a vegetarian option. We did not starve during our Argentine holiday!

[@theliftingnomad]

Yep the visa rate uses the MEP rate, which is slightly worse than the blue dollar. Still loads better than the official and a great way to save money while travelling!

I don't know how the locals afford it ? Heard recently that nearly half the population is now living in poverty ! = OUCH !!!

[@theliftingnomad]

Yeah I just checked that, 2 million on a population of 50~ million is still less than 10% right? And I’d be curious if that simply means people answered English as their next spoken language on a census. By and large unless you were in an expensive hotel or restaurant, English will be extremely difficult to communicate. People are patient, but unless you’re chatting someone at a bar or something they likely are busy and not caring about learning a new language. As for rent, yeah places such as Airbnb are going to look fairly expensive. Locals do not use these services. I met a girl there renting a 1 bed / 1 bath condo in a nice area who paid $145 a month for rent. Permanent residents and locals have access to cheaper longer term accommodation.

Cordoba is the 2nd biggest city in Argentina and one of the biggest university cities. Itss University founded by Jesuits is the oldest of the country and one of the oldest in Americas.

If you're going to live in another country you have to learn its history and its culture to understand the people

I think Argentina is calling me to settle. Is there a heavy German presence there still?

[@theliftingnomad]

Heavy ish… it’s been washed out a bit. Other than the sheer absurd amount of Wiener dogs (dachshunds).

[@lalimasson]

Presencia alemana? 😮 Más bien italiana y española. Ahora se podría decir que hay una fuerte presencia de venezolanos, ucranianos y rusos últimamente. También hay una fuerte presencia de judíos, hay un barrio ortodoxo en Buenos Aires, un minimercado chino cada 3 o 4 calles, muchos bolivianos, paraguayos y del resto de LATAM, una colonia galesa en la Patagonia, que es muy bonita y recomiendo visitar, una colonia Suiza cerca de Bariloche, dónde vivieron suizos alguna vez y la supuesta casa donde pasó Hitler sus últimos años en esa zona, era vecino de Elvis! 😂😂😂

Find young people mostly speak some English. I have traveled the world.

[@theliftingnomad]

Yep my experience as well. As bad as Instagram / tik tok are for mental health, they’re exposing young people to English at a much earlier age that helps with learning. My Spanish tutor learned English solely from tik tok lol. Well she’s not fluent but she can get by

A ustedes también le estafaron para ver este video ?

So….if you now “speak” Spanish and you actually went to Córdoba, how about learning to pronounce it? There is even an accent to show you how! 🇦🇷

Thanks for your comment!

That’s not a very nice thing to say ,you come off as jealous

[@markpack5792]

You have to understand that the people of Argentina are a mixture of ethnic of Italian and Spain. That's why they look so white. The other people in South America are mixed with Native Indians

[@theliftingnomad]

Thanks for clarifying!

Like "most capitalist socialites" sir it went through a socialist revolution, which is the reason so mass inflation. And now bouncing back on track to capitalism.

can you exchange crypto for pesos blue price?

[@theliftingnomad]

Not sure on this. Could maybe search around online

[@juanmanuelprat5490]

Yes. The crypto community is one of the biggest of the world. Also a lot of fintech start ups are around here. Economic crisis and gov restrictions made people get creative using cryptos.
