    Specific exchanges

    And I've done hundreds of transactions at cuevas that I trust, during years and years, at the prices that are published at the moment in Infobae and other newspapers, and never a problem. You say a good price. I don't know what that means. I've never seen a casa de cambio give the best...

    Online exchanges other than WU?

    I used to use xoom years ago, but the rates weren't competitive. I see that the rates are better now. It's good to know that there's another viable alternative. MoneyGram is better today by 20 pesos if transferring to a wallet (mercado pago in my case), but that changes day to day. Are the...

    Online exchanges other than WU?

    I use MoneyGram when the rate is better than Western Union after considering fees (which it has been lately, especially when I send to my Mercado Pago). Sending to my Banco Nación account takes about 75 minutes, to Mercado Pago takes less than 15 minutes, sending from US bank debit card.

    Restaurants new law: obligatory tip up to 18%

    No, it's not, and I'm for deregulation, but in this case, where rapidly changing technology has provided convenient (although perhaps occasionally legitimate) excuses for screwing the waitstaff, it seems reasonable. As I understand it, it's just a mechanism to be able to leave a tip...

    What does my address look like?

    I have not used DHL here in many years, but I never had a problem, and the comments that I've read here on expats have been favorable. Maybe some people will comment on recent experiences. My bank cards always arrived in 2 or 3 days, except in a couple cases when they didn't send them as...

    What does my address look like?

    If you want to pay a lot, and be much more certain of receiving something, you can have letters sent with tracking. When the bank sends my new bank cards, they send them as a two day FedEx trackable letter. I think the last time I paid 10 dollars, but I'm not 100% sure. Something close to...

    Bars or pubs to watch the Euros final on Sunday?

    Only 2 screens. Everybody manages to squeeze in. Very good ambience. If you want to enjoy watching a match with other English people, you won't be disappointed. If lots of big screens are more important to you, maybe you should try somewhere else. Gibraltar will be packed on Sunday.

    Not true. Two obvious examples: Germany in the 1930's and Venezuela in the past decade.
