    You can get USD out of cash machines in Uruguay, but you can't in Argentina. Most of us use XOOM to get a better exchange rate than the official one. Good luck!

    Welcome To Top House

    I've actually been pleasantly surprised at how well TopHouse products work for the price. Maybe it's because you bought a kettle and they know only an English person would boil water in Argentina and it's a little revenge over the Falkland/Malvina situation;)
