    Interest Rates in Argentina??

    Santander Rio offered me a line of credit and I think the rate was 42%. Of course I am not interested. But inflation is high. I wonder what the illegal loan sharks charge.

    Yes, and if you don't care when it arrives or if it arrives, you should use it.

    Subte strike

    Well the point of a strike is the loss of profits will drive the companies to table to discuss. With inflation in Argentina so high, it is sort of important to keep the wages in line with inflation. This is probably not about greed on the part of the workers, but just trying to keep up. They...

    Dentist recommendation

    I would just like to second this recommendation of Bettina Pettiti. I have been seeing her for about a year now and she does good work, with reasonable prices.

    Dollar trade at 5.60 ??

    I was reading an article about the black market trade of dollars reaching 5.60 yesterday. (of course I can't find it now) And my accountant friend told me about it as well and told me to sell some dollars today, and said that I should check several places. So I went to the three places I know...

    Subte strike

    Except for the strikes I think the subte is not bad in BA. I lived in NYC and the subway was always breaking down, police action, sick passenger or some other excuse, not many strikes in NYC though, but cost 2.50 dollars as well.

    How much cash can you hide in this vest/jacket?

    They are selling a vest that looks extra obvious that you are smuggling something. I thought the idea was to hide the fact. Looks like a joke ad.

    30+ Professional Gay Scene??

    I have had lots of fun as well at Flux, they start early and the employees are friendly, crowd is limited though, KM 0 can be fun after 2 AM or 3 AM, no shows that late, and crowds are larger. More fun, than earlier. Yet harder for me to stay awake that late.

    BsAs Safety

    I let my guard down every day. I am careful but not paralyzed with fear. If you can never be "off" you should move. How could you live like that? I live here and have fun, enjoy life and live normally...with street smarts. I don't carry large sums of money, or have rolex watches or dress like...

    BsAs Safety

    So you would tell people to not come? I have had a great time in BA and I am worried about crime too, but there is a balance. I would not change anything if I could do it over. Come to BA, have fun and be careful.

    BsAs Safety

    I think this is overblown. It can be dangerous here, but if you are careful, you should be fine. You could just miss one of the best times of your life. Be careful, but you can't live life in a bubble, or you could stay home and read about travel, now this is very safe.

    30+ Professional Gay Scene??

    My experience is you can go the late night dance bars or slightly earlier low key bars. Where have you been? Look here http://www.thegayguide.com.ar/gaybars.htm But the lounge bar scene has come and gone. Sitges, KM 0, and Flux are sort of lounge bars, but not very exciting, but can be fun if...

    Disco vs. Carrefour

    This is the Carrefour I go to. During the day the lines are not bad. (except Saturday morning) After the middle of the month, lines are not bad most of the time. Their fruit and vegetables have improved since they remodeled that department. You can find cilantro, lemon grass, hot peppers, and...
