    How do people work out how much a property in Argentina is actually worth?

    I think you hit the nail on the head here. Assuming that the price that a property is "actually worth" is market equilibrium (the point where the suply curve hits the demand curve on the graph), to have "perfect competition" the following things must be true: A large number of buyers and...

    Mapa del delito out...BA Crime Map. Palermo tops the list.

    This article is a bit misleading as it speaks of total crime and not crime adjusted for population. Palermo is the largest barrio in CABA by quite a lot so it stands to reason that there would be more criminal acts in Palermo then say, Coghlan, which as less than 10% the population. Wikipedia...

    Question on cell phone plans that work between USA and Argentina

    Congratulations! As you probably discovered, the problem is that sim cards can expire if you don't use them: The carrier gives your number to someone new. However there are tricks to get around this. For example, you can get a T-mobile month to month plan. $45 for 4GB and unlimited calls...

    Uber app not working in Buenos Aires

    You can all try Cabify. It's the same business model as Uber and the app has similar functions. My impression is that they have more drivers and are a bit cheaper but I wouldn't swear to it. It's a Spanish company and has done everything to be legal in Argentina.

    Pocket wifi

    The sim card basically is the thing that "holds" your number. If I put my sim card in your phone, for example, and my friend called me, your phone would ring. You can change back and forth between sim cards without any problem. In some countries, you can even buy a dual sim phone. One note...

    Japan uses CDMA technology and frequencies that are generally different from other countries making it almost always impossible to use a cell phone bought in another country on a Japanese network.
