    The economic future from Argentina

    Paul NL, I totally disagree "Soja, corn and weed are on an all-time high in prices which can't be maintained because of the global economy" China is our main buyer and will continue buying at this pace, so for the next couple of years the horizon is clear....You should stop (and I 'm...

    Shipping Belongings From the US to Argentina

    I am pretty sure that you have to pay NO taxes. I lived three years in DC and brought back EVERYTHING, which cost me a fortune because the container was half empty.

    Buenos Aires crime rate

    Pericles, I believe you didn't get my point, What I meant is that the nature of violence is different, is it the same to open fire at malls-just because you woke on your wrong foot, had a bad day etc- than to assault elderly people? I am not justifying the latter, in any case, taking advantage...

    Paul, Does this type of violence counts? What do you think? In a "first world" country:) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2119943.stm My response is affirmative...and what's worse is that the police involved were acquitted.
