"Where Are The Ferraris And Mansions?" 🇦🇷 (#103) ft @ACEDTVL

Lately all you hear about Argentina is their economic problems and inflation. But don't be fooled, there's still plenty of wealth in this country. Neighborhoods in Buenos Aires like Recoleta, Palermo and Belgrano are home to million dollar apartments. But the wealthiest of all is said to be San Isidro, which in order to reach, you have to take a train north of the city. On the last day of my return visit to the country, I decided I would go and look for the high life, and chase a bit of Argentin'a recent history along the way.

Thankfully I found some new friends to help me celebrate afterward.

Even though I have no Argentinian ancestry or any real links to the country, for me it'll always be a second home. Or at least as close as I have to that, with the erratic life that I lead. It's the one country I understand almost as well as my own, and it was a great time being back there last December.

We didn't get to everything on this trip -- far from it. But I'll be back, sooner rather than later. Nos vemos, mis amigos.

Oh and if you're interested in another charming American who's currently dropping videos from Argentina, check out my friend Ace Live:

as an argentinian I can tell you, when an argentine says "I'll make it short" it means he/she's gonna talk for 2 hours lol

I love how you interact with everyday people on the street - it's what makes your videos so entertaining. Can't wait to see where you pop up next.

2:48 while you where explaining the 90s "economic experiment" you pass through the consequences rigth behind you 20 years after...the guy said "una ayuda pa' comer algo?" (some money to eat), while dumpsterdiving (and not like in Copenhagen Denmark!) That poor guy and genereration are consequence of politicians, corruption and broken society. No party is for free.. Nice vid, as usual

When he said Portland under Alaska I think he meant to say Oregon

You kept popping up on my suggestions, but I don't need another youtuber to keep up with. I ignored it, but the algorithm didn't quit. It kept pushing you. It worked. I subscribed. It was right. This is my kind of content. Oh well. One more can't hurt.

At 6:40 when he says "vos sos un pibe que tenés pinta" he means that you're a good looking guy lol

What a small world! You randomly met a guy who has a son living in Oregon. The enonomic history was interesting. You should do more in depth.

Sabbatical, you create Art. The subtle ambient noise, the narration, the cutaways to paved sidewalks, street signs and architecture, the spontaneous chats with locals, the silence in the metro, the emotion.. they all collapse into a genius, almost visceral story about the human race and passage of time. Thank you for chosing this path for us!

Your explanation about Argentina's history was excellent. I have never seen a foreigner understanding so well our politics and economy. You're more than welcome next time, amigo

My grandaunt lived 60 years in Buenos Aires, she was an Austrian immigrant in the late 20ies.

It's Sunday morning here in cold Sweden. I'm eating breakfast and drinking coffee and travel with you, my 'online' friend, in Argentina. Thx for the ride, I'm learning a lot.
