Who adds water to espressos? It's a fact? Sources? (Apart from your personal experiences.) Seriously, I'm very interested in knowing this. I haven't drunk coffee in the bodegones for years, because it's so terrible, but I don't find the coffee in places like Martinez, Havana, or Tienda de...

Ha! That's less than the official rate! Good old Argentina!

That explains a lot.

But based on US CPI inflation since 2001, today's US dollar is only worth 56 cents of that 2001 dollar. (Link to CPI inflation calculator below.) So 5220 * 0.56 = $2993 pesos / dollar, if we only want to compare based on the relative changes in inflation. But of course there are many other...

Here's what some are saying here: Un informe propone reducir los fines de semana largos y fomentar el turismo receptivo en Argentina

I wrote a long response and closed the window by mistake and lost it. So this time I'll be short. I think you've got it mostly right, except that universities here are very political, dozens have been created and funded over the past 20 years by kirchnerista governments with -- depending on...

I can't help you with your Spanish, but my wife had iron infusions at Hospital Italiano. So I'm sure you could have it done there.

I don't know where you're sending from, but I just logged into my WU account to see what the fee would be for sending to Pago Facil wallet from my USA bank and it's the same fee as sending to my bank account. 26.99 to transfer 500 dollars. These days, MoneyGram gives me a better rate when I...

I'm getting old.

The world has changed a lot in 20 years. Outside of Argentina, at least.

You must be young or rich or both. I've never even seen a backup camera. I didn't know that was a thing. It's easy to learn to parallel park without one.

Maybe not. I never transfer amounts less than 500 because the fee is so high. 14 dollars on 100? That's pretty steep.

It's back.

I just looked and it's no different for me. 5% on US$500, 3% on 1500

I'm sorry, I thought I had responded to that silly canuck's post. My comment was a response to the post following yours. It wasn't intended as a comment on your post.
