You could always tell the landlord that you went to get US$ and AFIP has asked for the DNI number of the landlord.. But i agree with everyone else, either dont rent, or use the official exchange rate. You are just being screwed..

I know some expats who are paid part of the salary in peso's and part in there home currency, which is put in there home country bank account. I wouldnt have all my salary in pesos, just because if you save any and then when you leave you will be stuck with pesos which cant be exchanged...

You might be able to find a torrent for SDL Training 2009. I have that too, but its 230mb in size..

I had read a couple of days ago that economist thought argentina was in recession. That exports had been dropping quickly, and that the auto industry had 40% drop in exports in april and may compared to a year ago, due mostly to brazilian demand - 70% if arg car production was going to brazil.

I forgot to add he did have a qualification though, and he could do spanish to english and english to spanish, where most translators here can only do the english (or some other language) to spanish - or at least thats what they should be doing.

A friend who was doing translations for companies etc was getting between 30 and 40 centavo's per word depending on length of translation. Probably more now.

There is nothing on the exit card relating to money or anything else. So you dont have to declare it. Its when bring money in that you are asked on the arrival declaration form if you have more than US$10k, what make of cell phone you have etc. There is nothing on the exit card relating to...

I would say the answer is yes.. You are just doing a straight swap.. and you shouldnt have to pay much commission... The only restriction i know of is if you have travelers cheques, and cash here, they wont let you take US$ in cash now.. only pesos...

I hate to tell you this but the milk here is ultra-pasteurised milk, the same thing as uht... And i havent seen anything other than ultra-pasteurised milk here in the 1lt plastic bags. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization: "High-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurized milk...

If you are willing to take the risk, they could try and use resident tickets. However i know someone who did buy a ticket for his girlfriend who wasnt a resident, and she wasnt allowed on the plane, had to purchase another ticket at full price at airport which wasnt cheap, and then couldnt get a...

This is interesting. From experience living in places with problems similar to this when the gov tries to control the black market it just gets worse. There may be a quiet period while people wait to see whats happening, but it usually doesnt last for long. I would be surprised if the blue rate...

This whole black market thing here is weird.. I have changed money in many places in the world on the black market, zimbabwe, uzbekistan, burma etc, and it was easy to find people/places to change money, often at the border they would be waiting for you. But here its word of mouth, and one day...

No i didnt go with him today, but earlier this year (mid march i think) i went with him and he got 5 to US$, this was when everyone else was lucky to get 4.50, so i am sure he isnt bragging. His family sends him the money from colombia in US$ via this company. He has been doing it at the same...

A colombian friend just changed US$500 and got 5.95 this afternoon. So i think your problem is that you want to exchange for 5 pesos to the US$. Maybe offer someone at 6 to the US$ and you may have some luck at exchanging. You also have to remember that the person who buys has the hassle of...

I would not of been a happy camper either... And if everyone has to go through immigration now, what a pain - another airport to cross off my list of VIA AIRPORTS !!!

I dont understand this either... as i went from colombia via sao paulo 2 months ago, and have gone through soa paulo maybe 10 time on way to europe, and there was no passport check at all. The last time it was a layover of 4 hours, the only thing that was close to immigration was that we had to...

You should travel and live in more countries. I have lived/traveled in some very poor countries and i have found as a general rule that the people are very helpful/caring, offer you what they have, which is very little and have had no problems with having stuff stolen, being robbed etc. I think...

What i dont understand is why they want to keep to peso so high against the dollar when most countries that have stuff to export want is to go lower - just look at the REAL in the last few weeks. So the only reasons i can see are they want to purchase stuff from overseas as cheap as possible...

I could just about guarantee that he probably knows like everyone else does that there are back room deals going on in the casa de cambios. They wouldnt have any customers if there wasnt. This says it all i think: "Si quieren salvar su negocio, los invito a colaborar con la causa: hay que...
