You may need to buy a new packing case - check weights and dimensions with the airline/(airlines if it's not a through ticket). I did it myself many, many years ago when a hot PC was a 486DX and it saved so many other headaches in the end.

From your other message (sorry to read about that) could I guess that you are going where the PC is going? If you take it as additional baggage you'll have control over the packing and it might even cost less that way too

Yup! According to World Population Review Argentina's ratio is a mere 85% to the USA 129 and UK 97. I suspect this is all about confidence. Everyone panics because Venezuela has a ratio of 241% but nobody worries about Japan at 264%! They trust Japan to manage 264 but don't have faith in...

In just the same way that people from the US seem quite happy to eat chocolate bars that most of the rest of the world find revolting it's quite possible that Argentine people quite like their food and drink the way it is, thank you very much. And, if the 2023 figures from International Living...

When I first heard about this I presumed it was salt water related as the Surfside Fl condo collapse a few years back. But the CNN article you reference suggests other factors are involved.

...but not neutrally accented enough for some of the Buenos Aires parents with young children I come into contact with. They say that because of their children's exposure to television, they are all starting to talk like little Mexicans. (There is a simple and obvious solution to this but so far...

Have you recently moved apartment or has the situation suddenly changed in a place you've been living long term? If the latter then if the water used to be okay to drink (ours is) then AySA ought to be able to tell you if the water quality has changed and your building caretaker/administrator...

Talking of the upcoming US elections (which we weren't) has anybody else noticed how quiet it is in here this time? In previous US election years at about this time the forum would have been full of new posters all scrapping away with each other, determined to raise their Google ranking on...

The USD300 limit was upped a few years back to USD500 brought in plus up to a further USD500 purchased in the duty free shop on arrival. I might have to dig a little deeper to find you an attribution for that, though.

Despite the appalling standard of journalism and proof reading from The Daily Telegraph these days, I suspect they have got their story more-or-less right and this will turn out to be yet another of Boris Johnson's empty promises...

The problem with a Corruption Perception Index is it is exactly that - perception. On the surface the UK looks very proper and law abiding and is nice and high on the index yet British Banks are used to launder billions of dollars and pounds each year and British overseas territories are used to...

I wouldn't like to see anybody losing paid statutory holidays in Argentina or anywhere else and because I think they are good for individuals I think countries like the UK ought to have more. The original question is asking whether there is any evidence of an economic boost to Argentina from...

Ah.. ten years again. It's ten years from production scale carbon capture; from industrial scale green hydrogen manufacture - although there's a mandate to have that operational by 2030. And it's ten years from practical nuclear fusion and always has been. Forgive my cynicism and truly it will...

Interesting points and they could explain the phenomenon. Maybe the UK makes most of its money through its offices and factories and that drops when people are spending more time in cafes, shops and on the beach. Whenever a suggestion for an extra UK Bank Holiday comes up, it's knocked back by...

Tomorrow's Columbus Day is being celebrated today because public holidays are supposed to be good for the economy. But are they? Do we have the evidence? In the UK the most recent instances of additional public holidays were the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles...

According to information previously given in BAExpats, the store chain Diarco is supposed to be accepting any denomination or condition of USD for over-the-counter payments. Does anybody here ever shop at Diarco? (Me neither) Does anybody here know if the dollar thing is actually happening?

This table is quite interesting, not only because on all the scales it places income inequality in Argentina higher than the official figure but because of the comparisons with other countries in the Americas and worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality

Somebody who is concerned about restrictions on location, types of care, wait times etc probably ought to consider medical insurance. Somebody who is in otherwise good health who wants to know that if they have an unexpected accident or fall unpredictably ill they will be cared for appropriately...

Do you mean Provinces as in self-governing states that make up the country of Argentina? Or are you looking for barrios and communities closer to the capital? Provincia de Buenos Aires surrounds the capital and is bigger than many other countries. There are many jolly nice and reasonably safe...
