The UK vs.Thailand:

Thailand was mentioned as an alternative expat destination early in this thread, but I don't think anyone mentioned recent changes in tax laws that will affect expats. Here's just one YouTube video of several that appeared in a search:

Yes!

i realize that most of those following this thread are interested in knowing most about private health care in Capital Federal, but, at least in my experience, public health care out here in Buenos Aires has been superior, even to the prepagas I had in Capital from 2006-2010. Here's one...

There is no other country I I would rather live in than Argentina and no other place in Argentina than the one I chose in 2010. PS: For those who aren't aware the move entailed "full immersion" and I only speak Spanish with my friends and neighbors here. PS2: This is the first time in my...

The expression I remember most (that's probably still common in the USA) and that my mom (born in a farmhouses in Iowa in 1915) often told me when I was young was: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." And I'll always remember the similar expression from the song from...

The question about expats leaving has been the focus of several threads n the past. As I stated in one of them, the vast majority of expats who "moved to Argentina to live" have already left at the varous times when it got too expensive for them to mainatin their happiness here at a cost they...

Based on my own experience of living in Mexico for four and a half years followed by living in Argentina for 14 years, I'll take the Argentine culture, cuisine, and climate over the culture, cuisine and climate of Mexico, all day, every day, seven days a week three hundred, sixty-five days of...

I think it is accurate to say that Argentines eating less than 2kg of red meat per month are not eating the "carnivore" diet... ...and their health problems are likely due to the excess consumption of sugar and other high carb or highly processed foods: grains, fruit juices, legumes, seed oils...

PS to my previous post: I also consume butter, which I add to my coffee...with a pinch of sea salt, which is the only seasoning I use when cooking meat on a plancha de hierro. I have now mentioned everything I consume, and red meat is now just about 50% of the daily total (by weight), though...

Why did you assume that the fat content of beef I eat is 85%, especially without knowing what cuts I buy or how much red meat I eat on a daily basis. A quick search on Google will provide significantly lower fat percentages for leaner cuts. Beef and Fat | ThinkBeef...

Five years ago, at the tender age of 68, I would have agreed with this 100%. Since then, based on my personal experience, especially over the past 18 months, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that grass fed Argentine beef (aka red meat) is the the healthiest and "most healing" source of...

Auto ($3.500.000 coverage) and house ($60.000.000 coverage).

The movie script is currently.a work.in progress, but only one scene (a flashback) is set here. All of the other scenes are set in Retiro, Recoleta and Tigre The flasback (100% real) is a real life incident which occured when, at the.age of 67, I was assaulted.three times in less than 10...

I am actually living on the outskirts of Punta Alta which is "near" Bahía Blanca but in a different.municipalidad, so, fortunately, the only reason I have to go.anywhere.near.(but not into Bahía Blanca) is the drive to the airport to meet an occasional visitor. Punta Alta has everything that I...

As indicated by my username, yes.

The only way the "current situation" has affected my life in Argentina has been the recent increase in the cost of living, particularly the increases in the cost of food and fuel. That being said, I seriously doubt that I could enjoy life anywhere else in the world as much as in Argentina...

I could not find them in Mercado libre. Here is a list of SAD lamps (from Amazon) that offer shipping (not free) to Argentina: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=seasonal+affective+disorder+lamps&crid=3AZA97KSB5TFN&sprefix=seasonal+affective%2Caps%2C599&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_18

"Molido" means the coffee beans have been ground in a mill. The coffees with added sugar usually have the words "torrado equilibrado" on the label.

After two Google seatches, and, in agreement with and support of wineguy999's post, I simply provided a "full" definition of the words "corn syrup" followed by an explaination of the difference between "corn" and "Karo" syrup.
