    Rip-Off German Hospital

    So sorry to hear that. My daughter is around the same age and it can be very difficult to manage the unpredictable nature of toddlers and animals. I hope your son makes a speedy recovery and isn't too affected by the incident.

    Newbie Saying Hello And Asking For Advice

    Take a trip to Uruguay. You can take USD out of cash machines, and I believe you can have USD wired to you there. Montevideo is a great city to spend a couple of days in, and Colonia is charming day trip.

    Rip-Off German Hospital

    Very sorry to hear about your son. I'm curious though how it happened that a dog bit him on the lip? Poor thing, I hope he recovers well. Obamacare belongs in another thread guys.

    Peso Slaves And The Tax Hammer

    An even bigger problem is that the model of taxation assumes avoidance and over-compensates in an attempt to raise more revenue, leaving Argentina with a theoretical tax rate of 108% on profits...

    Peso Slaves And The Tax Hammer

    Sidewalks are more often than not the responsibility (and property) of the homeowner. Thats why you'll sometimes find pristine engraved granite slabs next to a pile of mud and rubble.

    Dolar Blue Rate In Buenos Aires' Arbolitos

    There's a place next to coto, on Maure in Las Canitas. Generally pretty good rates. Might not be the best rate, but zero chance of getting robbed. If las canitas isn't nearby, just ask in any chinese supermarket. You'll generally get the going rate there.

    Cfk In The Un Meeting...!!

    "No creo en las brujas, pero que las hay las hay" (Witches don't exist, until you meet one) I always liked that phrase.

    Don't They Have Any Shame?

    Either that, or people could buy smaller more fuel efficient vehicles. Still, the impact on transport and haulage would be considerable. At some point the US has to wake up to the reality that limitless quantities of cheap fuel isn't a right.

    Don't They Have Any Shame?

    8 bucks a gallon would be a bargain. Petrol in the UK currently costs around 10 dollars a gallon. It sucks, but society hasn't collapsed just yet.

    Right Wing Coup E'tat In Brazil

    Hmmm, prison planet is not a great source for analysis. Plus I for one welcome our lizard overlords. In seriousness though, the BBC will rarely publish a story they haven't independently verified using their own reporters. And sometimes when they do publish a report they'll pull it if they...

    Best Cell Phone Carrier? Moviestar Or Claro?

    Movistar were okish when my problems were limited to spending a fortune on calling other mobiles. As mentioned before they regularly have double and triple your credit days which makes calling cheaper. I now use an iphone with movistar. Coverage and download speeds are miserable. Their 3G...

    Right Wing Coup E'tat In Brazil

    Not specifically relevant to this slightly strange thread, but I highly recommend the documentary "Manda Bala" to anyone interested in learning more about Brazil's complex social and economic problems. The film offers a beautiful if bleak exploration of corruption, wealth and poverty...

    Any Best Places For Less Than 10 Usd?? Coffee, Plays,etc

    For 10 blue dollars... Sudestada lunchtime menu deal is a winner. Haven't been in a while, think it costs about 70 pesos. I love the Eduardo Sivori museum near the Rosedal. Think it costs 2 pesos. Then "treat" yourself to half a pizza at Ugi's for 13 pesos. 10 dollar Bonanza.

    Where`s The Beef ?

    Where are you buying? Never expect to find good beef in a supermarket. No matter where you live, there's probably a good carniceria not too far away.
