The place I'm renting while searching for a place to buy will be sold so I'm looking for a place to rent, I would stay at minimum until end or March. In San Telmo, Centro, Almagro or Caballito or very near the subte. With wifi.

But the euro-rate is higher than the dollar; I don't understand what should I change euros into dollars. Besides, you lose a lot while changing euros into dollars.

anybody? The arbolitos don't give that much. cheers

You never know in Argentina. I'll carry my iMac 21.5" in my hand baggage. Can expect any kind of trouble by the famous tax-inspectors? It's obviously not new, I'll carry in a bag, without the box. thx

the room was long ago available, not any more. I don't even live there anymore, I'm traveling now and 12 September will be back in BSARS and have to find a place for myself again.

you mean nowadays is better to have euros than dollars?

I went a couple of weeks ago to a presentation of a book about how the K's got rich thanks to the investment of Chinese and Canadian investors in the soya, gas & petrol, mine industry. One of the writers said something which made me think: "The economical group of Cristina knows they'll lose...

Most of my friends are K, some of them ultra K. This means I can't talk much about national politics 'cause in their views politics are like a "Boca vs River": you're against me, me against you, no matter what". The same when it comes down to world politics. "Imperialism vs Syria". I'm not in...

is that your way to make your living?

I was twice in Ecuador and no problems with ATM's. About safety: avoid Quito viejo, though it has improved now much since the first time I was there. Be careful also in touristic places like the market in Otovalo. And negotiate every single price, that's common there. Quito nuevo is ok, but...

two options: 1. Look at mercadolibre.com.ar, lot's of bargain there. I don't know how importers managed but prices of electronics are more or less "normal" not as expensive as in these bloody expensive shops. I bought recently a printer and other stuff and they were "cheap" for Argie-standards...

I'm also very interested in the answers to these questions, I'm looking to buy a flat still.

I saw good, though very expensive dressings at Wallmart in Caballito. And I'm still wondering: of all Latin American countries I know this is the most poor in terms of available fruit and vegetables and they look awful too. At the verdulerias and Coto the veggies and fruit look dirty, filthy...

indeed: the salads at Hard Rock Café are much better than in bloody expensive places. It's like coffee here; you don't get the best coffee in Martinez, Bonafide, La tienda del Café and othe "especialistas" but in little unknown places or even in McDonalds!

Today another crap salad being served. This time in La Celeste, Bonpland 1944 in Palermo. Ok, today is absolutely the worst and that for an annoying price 84 pesos! But so far I NEVER had a real good salad here, it's a waste of time and money looking for a place where they may serve good...

I just heard on the Dutch radio something interesting: a village in Spain is dealing very effectively with this issue: policemen in civilian clothes may ask the name of the dog if they see the doggy shitting on street or public places and the owner looking and not cleaning. All dogs are...

what I don't understand is how the owners of dogs cope with not cleaning the pooh while they live in the n'hood. It's not the excuse porteños usually use for the filthy around: they said people who live outside the city and come to work here are the ones to blame for making it all worse. But...

I know where I'm: Buenos Aires, the city of pooh on street. Never been in a city with so much pooh on street, where owners of dogs don't care about taking care of the excrements of their dogs. I try to watch every step but yesterday I stepped on pooh on both shoes. This happened in Palermo. I...

135K for 114m2 is okkidokki!

I'm still looking for a place to buy IN GOOD CONDITION, I'm not interested in flats or PH with lots of things to repair or ugly and old kitchens and toilets.
