Aparecida is in Sao Paulo State where population of European origin is around 80% if I am not mistaken.

We bought ours at El Gusanito in Palermo. No the cheapest ones but so far they are still holding together http://www.elgusanitokids.com/

We shipped a whole container (a 3 bedroom house) and everything arrived well without much hassle. If you are planning on sending a couple of boxes, it may not pay to go through all the transactions costs. I agree with the others here.

To read this from a Brazilian... the country that has probably the worst food in the continent really hurts.

We are leaving in a month or so after only two years here. Some projects will take us back home for at least one year and after that we may come back or not to BA. We bought a house here we plan to keep and while we never thought of BA as something forever, we enjoyed many of things the city and...

On the specific question posted, I think the price change in dollars from year to the other is too high. It gives you an implicit inflation rate in dollars that is way too high. If something, in the last few months the (blue) exchange rate has devaluated more than the inflation rate, reducing...

Hi there, We are French and we sent our daughter to the Lycee Francaise in Belgrano. We withdrew her after one month because it was not our kind of cookie but it maybe yours. They do have a lot of activities and the kids are progressively introduced to French (and English) while having most of...

Hi Arielm, We will be leaving end of August for one year and we will be renting our PH in Chacarita fully furnished. It is 160 square meters plus a terrace of 80 Sq meters with a nice deck, BBQ, and lots of plants. The PH has 3 large bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a very large studio...

And it will be done by 10:05pm. I heard Maravilla has a reservation in Güerrín at 10:30pm and they do not hold the reservation for more than ten minutes on a Saturday night...

WIshful thinking

When we just moved here and just before the draconian controls, we transferred from our account in the US to here around usd 8K. It took 3 week of calling them every single day and providing a ridiculous amount of paperwork to prove the origin of the money and our residency status. When the...

Sorry, I did not understood the irony and I should! The other day an Argentine colleague of mine was showing me his Gini data for Argentina using corrected measures of real income to account for the difference between the INDEC inflation and the actual one and the result was amazing. While...

You would mask it to the eyes because of the scale but still you would have an increase in 9 points in the Gini index. Now, there are other issues that maybe more relevant: 1) What income data do they use, before or after tax? Which one is relevant? 2) We do not have a counter-factual. Maybe...

I am trying to understand your argument if you have any. I only posted a chart using data from the IFS, the most reputable authority on Fiscal Issues in the UK. I did not do any claim nor I tried to convince you of anything. Since you seem to be an expert on data, bring yours and we can discuss...

The lower the number, the better is the income distribution (note it is income, not wealth) The index per se cannot be manipulated as it is a simple, well know formula. Of course, if the income data is wrong, the index would be wrong as well. I do not think the data/index is wrong for the UK...

Evolution of inequality in the UK

I could not care less for Galtieri. Hard as it is for some Argentines, Maggie is the mother of a long lasting democracy in Argentina. I was thinking almost everyone else.

I was not thinking about the price she paid but the price she made other people pay

Successful at what price?
