    If you look at: http://www.ambito.com/economia/mercados/dolar.asp no change.. so maybe ex and fx get their data from the same third party source and that third party has stuffed up..

    Official exchange rate drops 2.5%

    As i said they dont reflect real trades.. Its a rate that is set by the central bank, and its the central bank that converts the US$ to pesos and decides what the conversion rate is.. I didnt say anything about official rate etc.. And you are right its the rate you get when you withdraw from...

    Official exchange rate drops 2.5%

    The rates on XE and FX dont reflect real trades. They just reflect what the central bank says. So I wouldnt read anything into it at all. The peso isnt an openly traded currency so there is no fare value reflected in any price shown on these forex sites. Maybe someone pushed a wrong button at...

    Are people watching this - could become serious

    A big part of the problem here is productivity per worker also. Its similar to europe, where you have germany with very high productivity per worker, and greece/italy/spain with low productivity per worker, but wanting the same living standard/wage as their more productive northern neighbour...

    Any comments on the thumbprint scan and photo taken at arrival?

    New Zealander... Actually just remembered after reading a comment by nico, that i was photographed in Thailand in 2005. However when i went there in 2010 wasnt, but maybe because i went through the vip line with swiss flight crew or they had me on record from 2005...

    Any comments on the thumbprint scan and photo taken at arrival?

    I passed through EZE in the end of march and didnt have finger prints or photo taken, maybe its only for USA citizens, infact since i been coming here over the past 5 1/2 years never had it happen. Never had it happen in GRU either, and passed through there maybe 10 times (not transit, stopped...

    Dollar/Rent Frustrations!!! ARGH!

    You are correct that it is a renters market. I would be looking for another place. You shouldnt have any problems. 3 months ago i managed to negotiate down from US$700 to US$500 for a 35sqm studio in palermo for 3 months including cable internet and TV. There is alot of empty apts around, and...

    Price of Yerba Mate

    Prices are going up here too with inflation, and there is a shortage of yerba, so supermarkets were rationing it a few weeks back, dont know if they still are.. I think the shortage was caused because the gov was trying to control prices of stuff sold locally because it was going up in price...

    Best South American capitals/cities to live/work

    They are stricter their, and fine you if you overstay US$150 (pay to check this as i am just going by what people told me when i was there). You can also extend for 3 or 6 months, and it was US$35 i think. When you enter they will give you 30, 60 or 90 day visa, the immigration office just...

    Sexo = F. What the...

    I think the problem here is that people are to busy talking to co-workers and dicking around at work that they dont really concentrate at what they are doing. I have had the same problem, but with a police report, they missed out some characters in passport number, it was the first thing...

    Website creation

    What are you actually asking - someone to create for you or what to use.. If its what to use i would go for wordpress, and either make yourself a theme or buy/download one.. There is lots of free themes out there, and lots of help forums etc..

    Good Yogurt?

    Powdered milk is used in the base of yogurt to start the culture. I would not be drinking/using non-pasteurized/homogenized milk, as there are quite a few diseases that can be carried in milk - TB comes to mind. And here i would question the cleanliness of the whole process from cow to bottle...

    No dollar purchases (for locals) unless travelling abroad?

    I think alot has to do with population size, not to big to not care about your neighbours, or to think you dont have a voice that can change things. Or at least thats what i feel in NZ and think thats what we have in common with the small northern european countries. A mix of capitalism and...
