    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    It all depends on exactly how the Dollarization will play out. If it is to be a repetition of the late 1990s, I am afraid the result will be a disaster, a yet again burnt child. If it is to be an dynamic aka adjustable and not too tight (static) attachment to the US$ it may stabilize the AR$...

    DNI required to marry

    Exactly as I wrote: I didn't get one. No denial, etc. I didn't request one either. Residencia + Argentine taxes => No, thanks. We spend 89 days in Argentina, 93 days in Europe and Asia or Africa, 89 days in Argentina, followed by 94 days in Europe and Asia or Africa

    What would customs do if I brought grapes or other fruit?

    a can = sterilized ... baby food in sterilized containers, glass or can. One can normally bring sterilized food into both Argentina and Chile - but ask at costums to avoid serious problems.

    DNI required to marry

    I didn't get one after I married una mendocina in May. I also didn't need one to marry, my passport was sufficient ID. It's obvious that Bajo is suffering from a lack of Kirchneristas.

    Argentina Tops List Of 20 Signs Of Global Economic Meltdown

    Even if we ignore the simple fact, that Karl Marx's theories were proven wrong around 1918-22, the Labor theory of value cannot tell us anything about the intrinsic value of gold. Even if we accepted it (Ltov) to be valid, for the sake of discussion, then at times it takes lots of work and...

    Argentina Tops List Of 20 Signs Of Global Economic Meltdown

    When the world has gone under in flames and anarchy, and she is standing outside our two caves in the Adirondacs, and she is hungry, she will prefer me with my meat, vegetables and bread to your worthless gold. The intrinsic value of gold, please.
