Fascinating...I'll try to find it here. Plenty of Mapuche presence around Neuquen but I'm not very familiar with it's culinary influence.

How's your search going Cruz? Any luck locating a place in Neuquen?

I've found absolutely nothing in Argentina "hot". My suegra has a chile pepper plant because she likes the "pretty colors" and I've made some great sauce from it but visits are few and far between. My cunado down here in Neuquen planted of them in his front yard and it was sadly uprooted and...

I don't think it's as much as it's a foreign card, but rather that the credit card goes into their merchant account, which means they have to charge IVA. 21% is the standard IVA rate, but I believe the IVA on medical services is only 10.5%. The Paypal fee is probably for the online transfer...

I've never heard of this diet, but it would probably make a nutritionist go pale in the face. Is it possible? Anything is possible. People in Haiti are eating pies made out of mud. Is it healthy? Depends on your predispositions & current health state. Eggs are high in cholesterol. Are you...

With the AFIP limits on transactions being reduced it makes sense that the push to transact in alternate currencies is accelerating. Pretty bold to put a sticker directly on your storefront announcing the tax evasion though.

I don't understand the question here...you would like to sustain yourself daily with nothing but beef and eggs?

I've never tried it, but there are videos on Youtube explaining the functionality. The universal problem I've found with a lot of these apps is that they don't facilitate in one step debiting the USD account to transfer to Peso they way that WU does. There's always more steps, which invariably...

DolarApp is all the rage right now for USD to Peso transfers, but personally I find the whole billete virtual landscape a bit sketchy...

Easy to find in virtually any grocery store. "ají molido". Now, If you're into mainlining spicy food like I am, it can be challenging finding fresh ají. I do miss the selection of insanely hot, regret your life decisions, hot sauces that the US had on hand.

You're better off selling dollars for a plazo fijo if rumors of the cepo removal are true...

I don't disagree with you on that one, however if my understanding is correct the governor of Buenos Aires - Axel Kicillof is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the trains there. To say that Milei is directly responsible for the danger of the public transportation system because...

There's no easy solution to this problem. The government has a budget surplus, which of these moles do you whack? Public Universities threatening to strike over budget cuts Aerolineas Argentina threatening to strike over budget cuts Bus Lines threatening to strike over subsidy cuts Train lines...

There is a difference between regular banking accounts and investment brokerage accounts. Different countries regulate access to type of investment instruments available to brokerage accounts. I don't believe regular banking accounts have the same restrictions. If you do some digging you will...

I feel your pain, the exchange rate has pulled the carpet out from many peso contracts. My rent contract denominated in pesos is effectively going up from both sides... an increasing IPC/ICL, and a decreasing CCL rate. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times".

There's a funny story about the CPI USA, called "Substitution Bias": " If a selected good is bought by consumers and it is therefore included in the CPI basket, but when an increase in price of that selected good occurs customers may buy a cheaper substitute, while the CPI basket may not...

I mentioned this to my group of Argentine friends and they began speaking of the limitations of the accounts. Something about a ceiling of $600,000 pesos on the interest earning portion. I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find anything confirming it.

Howdy Frank, Interesting comments. I had a chance to speak to a friend of the family who owns a hardware store here. He confirmed that raw materials inexplicably tend to move in tandem with blue but aren't as tightly pegged to it as land. He also mentioned that regardless of a high or low...

Howdy Dubov, It's my understanding that white collar jobs are heavily competed for in the government here. Many require degrees depending on the specialty. Some go on to open their private practice instead of working for the state. It's to hard to say just how much of US finance is applicable...

Thanks Red, this all makes sense for the purchase price of a built house. But how much is a bag of concrete or an albanil's salary with the brecha a 0% vs 100%. Are you telling me that the brecha doesn't make building a home any cheaper?
