    Amazing how expensive BsArs is

    Poduce better in NYC? You're not shopping at the right places. In season poduce here is fantastic if you shop at Quinta Fresca or one of the good markets like Caballito, San Telmo or Belgrano. As good as in California, which is saying a lot. And much cheaper.

    Amazing how expensive BsArs is

    There's also no way NYC is cheaper! Rent is at leat 3 times as much. Restaurants, taxis, utilities, subway-all cost much more. Perhaps a few groceries are cheaper, and some clothes, but come on.....

    Amazing how expensive BsArs is

    I'm really surprised at these posts because while BA did get really expensive, the unofficial market is making it considerably cheaper again.

    Amazing how expensive BsArs is

    ^sure, but that doesn't account for artificial propping by the AR government. Logic doesn't work here.

    Good exchange rate!?

    Death wish? There is a huge underground network in AR for those buying and selling large amounts. Those transactions are the safest possible. The transactions happen in your home or place of business, the exchangers are known, as opposed to on Florida where anyone careful would not do transactions.

    Have you missed the extreme devaluation on the parallel market? CFK may not have devalued the peso, but the rest of the world has.

    Good exchange rate!?

    There are lots of places if you have a large amount to change, fewer if it's less than several thousand.

    If you come with dollars or Euro, the parallel market rate will make BA cheaper again. Should be 6 soon.

    I miss prepared foods

    Bubi, at Dorrego 1825, has some hot prepared meals at lunch time that are pretty good. Often pasta. They also have the best hams, salami's and other sliced meats. If you're in Recoleta, there's a place on Junin just past Pacheco de Melo that has a wide range of prepared foods. Pasta, salads...

    Electronics in Colonia

    Can anyone tell me if I'll find a range of high end computers in Colonia, or if I'll have to go to Montevideo? Any opinions on where lowest priced computers are in LAM?

    Kissing

    It's an incredibly time consuming custom. As our company grows it amazes me that our employees come in and take the ime to kiss everyone in the room. I must admit this warmth is something I really like about the Argentines.

    Phisically carrying USD

    He's probably using it t do business. I also get charged nothing for wires. Though I'll be looking into getting paid, because it makes sense at this point in time.

    What should we bring?

    Bring everything. Furniture, pots and pans, appliances with adaptors. Quality of all of these things here is pathetic.

    A Comment About All The Negativity

    Rawl, I spend half of my time in Argentina and half in CA. I couldn't disagree with your pst more. While prices are inching up in the States, it's nothing like what I'm seeing in Argentina. I notice extreme price differences this week compared to when I was last here 8 months ago. I'm very...

    A Comment About All The Negativity

    This country has much to offer or none of us would be here. That said its hard not to be disappointed by the country's refusal to harness what it has and take its rightful place in the world. Instead, crazy politicians continue to rule and we're headed into another crisis. Laws change daily and...
