Your timing is horrible, but as someone said: "Don't move to Argentina because it is cheap. Move to Argentina because you like it".
Bring the curry! And the cinnamon sticks.
I am not sure if I am more shocked at the price or because they have already sold 5 units.
I think Badia is imported,
I have bought the cardamoms pods by Dusen and they are very flavorful. Perhaps also their curry is up to it. My curry from Aldi UK is yellow, though.
but I will be in Argentina to work and live and not to be out on the razz every night.
You won't fit in well here then. 
Are you renting or AirBnBing?
I will make the kind of observational posts right here, like I did last year which were quite well received by you all so I'm looking forward to it.
We’re looking forward to your posts too, @Bombonera . Here’s hoping you have a great 6 months!
What type of ''work'' are you doing while you're here Bombonera?

That should be a private message as he could be MI5....

Well if he comes knocking on my door I won't be in.
The the latter 3 months I want to stay in an AirBnB in Belgrano. Again, nothing booked yet.
Have a good flight. 6 months is a nice stretch through the seasons without doing the hot summer. You mention Belgrano. More recent years I have enjoyed Villa Urquiza too. It does not have the classic apartment buildings of the older barrio, but is still has a great neighborhood feel wandering around. Often we did a long walk from there to Belgrano. It is ideal at the end of the Subte B line, at the intersection of Mitre rail line. Very safe area.
My main work is bankruptcy
Now I know whom to consult!!!!!
My main work is bankruptcy but I do a bit of more mainstream accounting work too doing self assessment returns for construction industry workers who get tax repayments every year. Most of that work is already done for this year. And I do a bit of derivatives trading as well. A bit of a mixed and varied schedule of work.
A couple of my family members in the UK were/are involved in the financial industry.
I don't like to work too much these days but don't want to become my own bankruptcy client so I look to do a bit here and there to keep funds topped up.
I very much want to arrive with the right mindset really. I'm not arriving on a 6 month jolly and I'm not fully retired. So I want to get a work routine going after the first 2 weeks or so which will be more like a holiday I suppose. Otherwise I will get into bad habits that lead me astray!
Can you work remotely in your line of business?
I planned a 12 night break in a year and half, 6 months would frazzle my brain. Fair play and enjoy!!
I do remember recommending The New Brighton, on Sarmiento. Since then, we’ve been there a couple of times and enjoyed delicious meals in elegant surroundings. I hope they will be able to stay in business during these difficult days.
For pizza, have you tried El Cuartito? I think you’d like the pizza as well as the atmosphere.
We rarely go into microcentro, so right now I am not able to think of other recommendations. The other places we always enjoyed closed during Covid.
That sounds like an interesting space, serafina . We’ll have to try it!
Your boy has made it to London Heathrow and is in Wetherspoons in Terminal 5 ahead of his flight to BA via Rio on BA this evening.
Cheers. 
I hope you've got a waterproof and woolly jumper with you? 
I have UK Man. Should be ok for a couple of weeks yet though fingers crossed
It's a lovely sunny 18c here at the mo but rain showers are forecast for tomorrow before colder conditions arrive for the rest of the week. Still much better than the stifling heat of summer though.

Have a comfortable flight, mate!

Enjoy! It is a long old stint of a flight that is...ended up watching oppenheimer.
Is it direct again or do you have a stop in Rio?
