Are there any legal casas de cambio still operating?

Really?

Would we know he's Belgian just by looking at him? (Not even sure how you spot a Belgian, honestly. Do they run around with waffles on their faces?)

Seems like they need to expand, then! :)

Gmail has pretty good spam filters. ;)

For a chain, Starbucks is by far the best option in Argentina. As in the U.S., you now have some local spots that do a better job, and I think Starbucks is slightly responsible for that. For example, I've heard many good things about a cafe in Belgrano called "All Saints Cafe." I've walked by...

Usually I say I am from China, but decided not to given that I was in a "chino"... :) I love the "Are you the police?" line. :)

But if you can work with your precaria -- and presumably pay taxes while you do -- why can't you get the fares for Argentine residents? To me, it seems like one of those famous gray areas... Probably depends on who you deal with more than anything else.

Usually you need to warn the place where you're picking up the money that you'll be needing x-amount of dollars. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting 20s or ugly 100s, which are hard to exchange or exchanged for much less than the market rate in Argentina.

You guys don't know that the onion should be $8 pesos a kilo.. Precio cuidado. :)

Camberiu, talking about Brazil (and because really, this woman's appointment to Banco Nación being nepotism shouldn't be a debate), these protests against Dilma? https://www.youtube....h?v=Tnhc3l7k4AI The protesters sound a bit like a Republican-cacerolero hybrid... "She's not even Brazilian...

I do not miss my car whatsoever.

You guys are really lovers, right? :)
