    The exchange rate at starbucks is still 90:1. Why?

    Even if the exchange rate were 200 to the dollar that would still be over 5 dollars. That's a lot for any coffee drink in Argentina.

    Western Union money transfer

    Just tried setting up transfer via WU paying cash in US and sending to bank account in Argentina and it won't let me past the page where it asks me to verify my identity.

    Exchanging money while visiting Buenos Aires

    In Recoleta, a nice neighborhood, there's a Pago Fácil (where people pay bills) that also changes money at near the blue rate. It's at the corner of Ayacucho and Santa Fe. You walk in and there is one window to pay bills and one for money exchange. It's very quick and easy. I've exchanged there...

    Dougie hit the nail on the head with you, seeing everything through the lens of your political convictions, the very thing you have accused others of doing.

    I just got a principiante license a few weeks ago in CABA. I had gotten my US license apostilled. I had not gotten it translated and legalized here but at the Roca office they told me that it wouldn't have mattered because licenses from the States (and the lack of accompanying documents) give no...

    Which one Fernanda o Cristina? Of course Fernanda was just expressing what her jefe espiritual thinks and had probably said many times to her sheep but cannot say in public.

    Blue dollar exchange in Recoleta

    In my experience they take you to an office which is off the street. I've never had a bad experience, but it always seems a little sketchy maybe.

    traveling with pets during pandemic

    Not all airlines accept pets as cargo. Some will let you take them only in a carrier underneath the seat in front of you.

    Blue dollar exchange in Recoleta

    There's a pago fácil on Santa Fe at Ayacucho that also exchange money at very close to the blue rate. No shady back rooms like on Florida. I realize it's on Santa Fe, but that's part of the reason it feels pretty safe to me, there are always lots of people around.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    That's the difference between the city govt sites and a private lab. Mine were all tests after trips, except for a suspected case when I was tested at a unidad febril.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    The last two times I had a PCR with the city I never got my results. It would show me only the results from an earlier test (I've had four total). The penultimate time this happened I called twice and yet I never got those results.

    Is the govt limiting how many passengers can arrive in any given flight?

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    How can they wait until Aug 8, since those decisions affect flights from Aug 9 on? I thought the new round of authorizations was going to be on Aug 6.
