From what I know, Banco Republica's ATMS dispense dollars as well as Uruguayan pesos.

Found only Canadian maple syrup here. A little watery, in my experience. In the States I used Vermont syrup - a true gift from the gods....!

Good to learn about maple extract - didn't know there was such thing. Will check ML. Thanks, Rob0001

Trying to bake a Southern Pecan Pie. Anyone knows what corn syrup is called here, and where to get it? Ideally, the recipe asks for maple syrup, which I haven't been able to find.

To think that we have come to rejoice in an 11% monthly inflation rate.....! Poor Argentina.

The local Chino rolled back the price of Nutella from $8500 to $5500 pesos. It was $4500 before Milei.

Some board members like to bemoan, groan, complain and kvetch about Argentina day in and day out. Yet, they are still here - perhaps a vocation for martyrdom. Let's hope that, when they go to the Happy Hunting Grounds, such sacrifice will be rewarded with a seat on a cloud right next to St...

The ACA - Automovil Club Argentino - is the best, in my view. Reasonable prices and superb service.

The buyer picks the "escribano", who researches the title to make sure it is legit. Their fee is 2%, negotiable to 1% in many cases. As far as I know there is no title insurance here, so choose your escribano carefully - it is your only defense against fraudulent sales.

What a hair-rising statement! Never knew Sarmiento could be so blood thirsty.

The CCB should move to new digs. Borges deserves a better place than an old shopping arcade.

I read it may be renamed Centro Cultural Borges. A far better name.
