A cereal bar? Seriously? That's so incredibly cheapskate.

I still haven't seen one. What color is it? The fact that the 2000 peso and 10000 peso notes are the same color annoys me severely. It's just too damn easy to confuse them after years of different values always being notably different colors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know US notes are all the same...

A while back, we had an ongoing thread talking about this, and several of us posted what rates we were being charged. I think it might be interesting to resume this practice. Today I bought groceries at the COTO and paid with my US VISA debit card. My bank charged me 1099 pesos to the dollar...

Mine is not in the account yet, but I see it as pending for Friday the 3rd. Including the magnificent, munificent 26 dollar COLA, woohoo! o_O

Yes, El Corralito. Do you expect that the theft of dollar-denominated bank accounts will also be repeated?

No headaches here, but persistent dry cough and endless sinus drainage, yeah. Maybe a little longer than 2 weeks. It's getting really old, isn't it?

Wishing you the best also. Thank you for all you do.

Oh, I think we can confidently promise you that your stay in Argentina will be an adventure.

Craigslist link returns a 404 error.

The usual answer when someone is looking for something unusual like that is Barrio Chino, but who knows.

Being from San Diego, I fully agree that spicy food is very hard to find here. God, I miss Mexican food so much it breaks my heart. I can offer a couple suggestions - Peruvian restaurants make spicy food. It will probably come to the table very mild, because they are accustomed to their...

I paid 2000 pesos for a pair of thick pork chops yesterday at the Coto here in Villa Urquiza. I browned them in a frying pan, then baked them in a glass oven dish for 45 minutes at low heat, and they were excellent. Cut with a fork tender, and just delicious. That good where you pick up the bone...

Very good, Rich One, very good! I can always count on you to get the obscure literary references ♥️

The literary term is "Latin American magical realism"

Oh, hell no. That would require a degree of maturity and self-awareness far, far beyond that of the egotistical man-child that is our President. Did you see him on stage trying to sing?

Well, that is good news! Thank you very much, Steve.

There ya go, that's a good way to deal with it. I was inclined to be generous back when my income was adequate to get me through the month, but since Milei has &^*%$'ed the economy, I'm struggling just to keep my head above water, and it's definitely changed my response. If they ask me for...
