    Black cardamom

    I have no specific answer for you, but the usual answer for such things is Barrio Chino. I will however check at my local dietetica tomorrow; they have all sorts of amazing stuff. Just out of curiosity, what does one do with black cardamom?

    IKEA delivery from Chile to Buenos Aires?

    Carpentry isn't rocket science. Whatever furniture it is you want, somebody in Argentina is making it already or will make it for you. You just need to find the right person/business. As Che1990 says above, importing stuff is not worth the heartache. IKEA flatpack furniture is...

    Specific exchanges

    They're all part of the same mafia. You're not likely to find more than a dime's worth of difference between them.

    Western Union money transfer

    They are out there, in very small quantities; I have two of them in my peso stash. But they're still very much rara avis. The 2,000 peso notes, on the other hand, have actually started coming out of the HSBC atms on a fairly frequent basis.

    Western Union money transfer

    As an addendum to the above, there are expectations in some quarters that we may see strong upward movement of the Blue dollar this week. Obviously, there are no certainties, just a heads up.

    Western Union money transfer

    This is two years old and the promo code part is obsolete, but most of the rest is still valid - https://baexpats.org/threads/summary-of-how-to-use-western-union-in-2022.44672/ Your VISA card will be accepted most places, and the rate isn't bad at all, for now. Things can change rapidly here...

    7Up is particularly like that. The product today is nothing like I remember it in the 1960's

    Argentina small and medium size businesses face total destruction

    I never thought I'd hear someone in these forums cheering for Paul Singer, but there it is. For the record, it's "Kicillof", with only a single F. His doctoral thesis was "Genesis and structure of the General Theory of Lord Keynes". Whatever else he may be, the man is certainly not a fool...

    5 bike-friendly neighborhoods in Buenos Aires with cheap rent

    The thing that jumps out at me right away is that the English version says "two bedroom", whereas if you look at the original article in Castellano, it says "dos ambientes". Anyone who's been in-country for any length of time at all knows that's a one bedroom apartment. For those who are new...

    Western Union money transfer

    I tried using that discount code, and it looked good until I got to the confirmation page. At that point, it stopped responding, and when I refreshed the page it gave me some cryptic error code. The history page now shows nothing since my last completed transaction.

    Milei defends his world tours: "They criticized Moses, how can they not criticize me?"

    "And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman." --Numbers 12:1 KJV That's the Old King James. The NIV and a couple others say Cushite rather than Ethiopian.He might have also had another wife named Zipporah.

    Zelensky Is Working on Joint Weapons Production with Argentina

    I honestly don't even see what your question or point is. Being neutral is one issue. Having a profitable arms export industry is another. Are you trying to conflate the two, or claim that they are mutually exclusive? As in the two examples I cited in the quote above, Switzerland and Sweden...

    Milei defends his world tours: "They criticized Moses, how can they not criticize me?"

    It is a new level of hubris, to be sure.
