    Dog Parks in BA?

    The one in barrancas de belgrano is the biggest one. It's got a pretty large enclosed area. It's right across the street from the train station at the corner of Juramento and Virrey Vertiz.

    I changed pesos to USD at a Wells Fargo in the US in December. It is possible to do. The rate was not very good, around 4.8:1 I think.

    Paying for health insurance with foreign cards

    I have done it, but it was over a year ago. They wouldn't do an automatic payment with a foreign card, I had to go to the Swiss Medical office each month to pay.

    River Plate This Friday

    It has been announced that the stadium has been approved by the city for it's full capacity for this game, so there will probably be tickets sold to the public but it is not yet known when they will go on sale.

    River Plate This Friday

    The game is actually Saturday not Friday. I have been to many games before and I will hopefully be going with my wife.

    can you drink the tap water

    You can get water delivered in 20 liter bottles with a free dipenser if you agree to buy a certain amount per month. Not sure of the current price but one year ago it was $19 for 20 liters. The company I used is called El Cantaro, but there are other companies too.

    Can I pay utility bills with an USA credit card?

    I was at the Edenor office on Bulnes last week to pay my bill and they will not accept foreign cards. Claro does not accept foreign cards either. I have used my foreign credit card to pay Telecom but they cannot do automatic payments with it.

    It's started......

    It's more like "buy dollars now and hope to stay even by doing nothing but wait." It's almost certain the peso will depreciate by a good percent, but it is also almost certain that inflation will meet or exceed that percent. People are just trying to avoid losing the value of their money.

    Argentines using cards more than cash

    Many people are banking on the inflation when they pay by credit card. If you can make 3, 6, or 12 monthly payments with no interest you save a lot because paying 100 pesos in 6 months is much less than paying 100 pesos today.

    1 kg Beef: How Much Do You Pay?

    Right now at coto average ground beef costs $30, and the cheapest ground beef costs $17. A premium cut like cuadril costs $40. http://www.coto.com.ar/ofertas/especiales/2pag/especial.html $115 is a total rip off.
