I wouldn't have expected INCAA to turn a profit because I wouldn't have thought that was its purpose. It provides seed money that returns to the economy in many ways, multiplied many times. For example the UK equivalent - 25% tax break for films made in Britain stimulated over US$30billion in...

Never mind registration, today neither of our local railway stations were accepting payments to top up Sube cards. I suspect that the systems can't handle the higher value fares and credits (last time I added AR$2K and the payment had to be loaded in two tranches) but I wasn't previously aware...

Apart from all the good, artistic reason? Because They Make Money. Scanning the box office receipts for some of the Argentine films I've seen they have all taken between ten and fifteen times their production costs so they represent an excellent investment for the nation.

Yes! Thank you both. Copyus/Nutrias fit the biil. What's more if you search on that name Los Lagos de Palermo come up in the results so I think we have a match!

I am not Australian (or any other spelling variation thereof) but even I know that there are restaurants in Melbourne with eye-wateringly high prices and I don't consider here that you are comparing like with like. Once again you seem to be playing the harbinger, the portent, the emissary of...

We went to Palermo Hippodrome yesterday to watch some races. Very interesting - probably more interesting if we had put some money on but the big attraction yesterday was that they were running "Chorifest 2024" on the grounds at the same time. Yum! Now for the question: what were the four...

You will know this already, @Johhny but for others out there who don't, just place the card on the balance checker screen in Subte and railway stations and the number will be displayed.

Check out FATCA and CRS

In Buenos Aires, Kel Ediciones (lots of branches, Google them) specialise in books in the English language. They carry good stocks and you could always try asking them to order something for you.

I love my old, worn out and crumpled Guia-T. So, some bits are out of date but it's easy enough to remember which bits whereas if you are relying on Google or some other app which is 95% accurate, you never can tell which 5% is wrong until you get stuck with a problem.

Oh, well played, sir. Outta the park!

Hello Jenn, what do you look like? I don't mean that in a flirty kind of way but - and by the way, DON'T answer this but - what kind of racial profile do you present? Buenos Aires has a complete mix of people from all over the world so unless there is something outrageous about you, you will...

I'm neither an economist nor a historian so my impression that this will only help fuel inflation is just that: an impression. It's based on two events. 1- The rise in inflation in the UK in the 1970s after the introduction of decimal currency when prices floated upwards towards the new value of...

While you are thinking about this, a rhetorical question only: How much will it cost you, emotionally and financially, to fly back to Argentina - just her, maybe, and just to get the tramites under way? And how much will it cost you, emotionally and financially, to go back to square one with...

@perry are you still living out in the boondocks in someone else's fiefdom or are you back in CABA? Here, in Comuna 11 the city have been visibly busy spraying everything so I can't fault them for that. I am still getting bitten to pieces by the mozzies though: that's just the way it is.

Wot @Ronnie Hotdogs sed. I suspect that it depends on local circumstances because although I often see empty or nearly empty bike stations around the city, a relative relies on them for the middle section of their daily commute and always finds some available.

FYI Subte Linea D will be closed for repairs from January 8th until mid-March so Bulnes station will not be convenient for coffee-chatters during this period.

Thanks! Really appreciated. Passing this along right now.

Help please! I know nothing about MercadoLibre but a friend back in the UK needs to contact them - preferably their fraud department - but all links seem to lead to needing to be a member and/or having a recognisable DNI number. Any suggestions how he may get in touch? Thanks!
