    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    It all depends on exactly how the Dollarization will play out. If it is to be a repetition of the late 1990s, I am afraid the result will be a disaster, a yet again burnt child. If it is to be an dynamic aka adjustable and not too tight (static) attachment to the US$ it may stabilize the AR$...

    DNI required to marry

    Exactly as I wrote: I didn't get one. No denial, etc. I didn't request one either. Residencia + Argentine taxes => No, thanks. We spend 89 days in Argentina, 93 days in Europe and Asia or Africa, 89 days in Argentina, followed by 94 days in Europe and Asia or Africa

    What would customs do if I brought grapes or other fruit?

    a can = sterilized ... baby food in sterilized containers, glass or can. One can normally bring sterilized food into both Argentina and Chile - but ask at costums to avoid serious problems.

    DNI required to marry

    I didn't get one after I married una mendocina in May. I also didn't need one to marry, my passport was sufficient ID. It's obvious that Bajo is suffering from a lack of Kirchneristas.

    Argentina Tops List Of 20 Signs Of Global Economic Meltdown

    Karl Marx's foundered theories were part of the curriculum when I studied national economics. Even though I have provided an example of 156 oz. gold nugget found by a lucky guy with a metal detector, you blabber on about investment and men working their souls out. The spread is huge. Besides...

    Argentina Tops List Of 20 Signs Of Global Economic Meltdown

    Even if we ignore the simple fact, that Karl Marx's theories were proven wrong around 1918-22, the Labor theory of value cannot tell us anything about the intrinsic value of gold. Even if we accepted it (Ltov) to be valid, for the sake of discussion, then at times it takes lots of work and...

    When the world has gone under in flames and anarchy, and she is standing outside our two caves in the Adirondacs, and she is hungry, she will prefer me with my meat, vegetables and bread to your worthless gold. The intrinsic value of gold, please.

    - and since then the value has been both 888 and 1,888 US$ - up and down. As can be seen from the sooooo nice black and yellow trend pictures above, the value seems to have dropped ever since - or what? :) Since the US and UK dropped the gold as a refence value back in 1971 the market value...

    Could you please expand on the intrinsic value of gold, except that it is shiny yellow? When Doomsday has arrived Oh we will all burn together when we burn. There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn. When it's time for the fallout And Saint Peter calls us all out, We'll just drop our...

    Those drawings are very solid proof to anyone who has his finger on the pulse.

    You Are What You Eat...?

    Many have a romantic vision of how food is produced in Argentina, imagining grass-fed cows roaming the pampas, only to be moved on by mate-sipping gauchos from time to time. Unfortunately, the reality proves to be a stark contrast, with animals shunted into sheds and pumped full of drugs, and...
