    Quick check on understanding of current currency situation

    nobody wants your dollars unless you're buying something of high value and have crisp 100 bills. In any other case, they're gonna look at you like you're a three headed extraterrestrial and then you'll have trouble making change because "dollars" are only 100 dollar bills and anything else (like...

    Lactaid or something like it?

    In Argentina the milk at the store is generally pasteurized at ultra high temperatures, which is why it tastes burnt unless you can buy it direct from a farmer that doesn't.

    Prices jumped immediately after the Ley de Alquileres was repealed. Events will drive prices for the near future. With all this IMF business going on, at some point, the IMF is going to demand free movement of capital. In the near future buying a property will not necessarily require a trash bag...
