Yeah, that was back when you could buy quite a lot with a $100 peso bill. It almost felt like carrying around a $100usd bill in the states. I would always pull like $690 out of the atm. Now I dont worry about having small bills and would never use an atm (with my foreign card). I also dont...

You would more than likely be better off just putting dollars in your pocket and bringing them, than you would be trying to resell new apple products. Notice on mercadolibre that: 1) you can no longer sell stuff in dollars, and 2) once you divide by the informal rate and take out a commission...

Those might just be rumors. But, when vacation time comes, dec 15-feb 30, I would be pretty surprised if the government was still allowing unlimited credit card purchases abroad. In that scenario, why would anyone stay in argentina for vacation, when it would be way cheaper to go anywhere...

The "official" peso rate just doesnt really matter to me at all. I dont know a single person anywhere that can actually use that rate. I look at the government offer for dollars as Bid: 4.39, Ask: n/a. So, if tomorrow the official rate looked like Bid: 3.00, Ask: n/a that would have no effect...

Here is an article stating the rate went to 5.86 in the bond market yesterday. My opinion is that this is the market that drives the prices you find at the local "grey" market shops. So, if that level holds, maybe it will push the peso to 5.30-5.40 range, more or less. The only way you can...

I wish the city would invest in some "intelligent" 12 year olds they could hire to put in charge of making the subways run on time. I mean if Germany could make trains run on time during a war, (without the help of computers, cell phones, GPS, etc...) why on earth cant argentina run a subway...

I think that the canitas location might work better than the palermo location because it is a little more laid back, and not as crowded. (although I havent been to either recently.) Also, I think happy hour is from 7-8 for people getting there early.

In my opinion, the best option is to sell it to someone you know here (a friend) or someone from this forum. The next best option is selling it on mercadolibre and dealing with a bunch of crazy portenos asking retarded questions. But, if you can weed through the crazy people, you should be...

I might be interested in that, if you could pm me some photos.

looks like that is with american airlines...

My lease is up, and I am looking for a modern 2br apt in the nunez/belgrano/villa urquiza/colegiales area with a pool. Can be temporary or long term furnished or unfurnished. +/- $4500 pesos if anyone knows of something.

This is now sold.

Hey, I have a new version Macbook Pro 13" i5, 4 gb, 320 gb for sale. Applecare expires May 2012. I bought it to replace my current mbp, but I think I am going to switch to the new Macbook Air when I go back to the states. $1,250 usd.

So, I went to the store and bought 2 kilos of limes, the best juicer you can buy for 5 pesos, and a bottle of Hesperidina (since they had no triple sec and cointreau was $150.) Did a ratio of 2:1:1 (tequila, hesperidina, lime juice) and poured it in a cup with a bunch of ice. I also added a...

Does anyone know a place to get frozen lime juice concentrate and/or a good margarita mix? I am sick of lemon flavored margaritas and would like to make one at home without mashing up a bunch of limes...

Yeah, that sounds like a fair price to me. In a building with a pool/gym and 24 hr security just the impuestos, expensas, cable, internet, etc. will easily add up to 1,000 pesos or more. So you are essentially paying around 2,200 pesos for rent, which sounds pretty good for an apartment in...

I just thought I would throw in a couple of random, non-oj related comments: 1) the three items of a) inflation in argentina of 25%, b) inflation in US of 3% (with core inflation lower) and c) a stable peso/usd cannot all exist together in the medium to long term. 2) argentina is the only...

Yep, that was a good article. The amazing thing to me is that none of the locals I talk to think the possibility of a looming crisis exists. It is as if since the stock market is up, the peso/dollar is more or less stable, and GDP growth is robust, there is nothing to really worry about...

Let me know if you find anything. I had my girlfriend call about 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday to see if they would offer a cheap 1 day rate at the last minute, as we were nearby in Villa Traful. Anyway, they offered the basic room for a 1 day rate of $475 USD, and $600 USD for a suite. The hotel...
