    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks. But to send me money here (in pesos of course) that is a debt from a third party owed in US/USD it seems to work. The info I have is that there is no 4% transaction surcharge however, but 1.5% of 1000USD.

    Western Union money transfer

    Has Buenos Aires declined since 2019?

    Yeah I’ve also lost track of who’s dissing who and whose city here. I suspect many of you will remember the immortal wit Tom Lehrer. Recall then his remark: “We’re all go together when we go.” Tom, BTW is 96 and lives in NYC.

    Can you hold a driver's license from US, if you live abroad?

    Georgia? One gets the impression that state resources there have in the past few years been laser-focused on catching supposed “ illegal" voters and not scofflaw driver’s licenses. You’re doubtlessly safe. BTW Georgia law allows you to renew a license by mail if you live outside the country, but...

    Cafe waiter interaction: official thread on requesting service or a check

    My favorite trick: Shout out: "La Dolor Rosa, por favor." The hurmor always makes them notice. You can do las malas noticias, but it isn't as funny.

    BTW, when you get back to CABA from Montevideo beware that all the taxis at the terminal are involved a rate fare scams. The best thing is to walk a few blocks and make sure to get a taxi with a fare machine.
