    Bolivia

    As the coup's death toll mounts, protesters lie dead in the streets, the police and military have immunity for any actions, and the new 'president' states she will start arresting indigenous democratic representatives of Evo's party who control 2/3 of the legislature. Sounds legit. Bernie...

    Bolivia

    One dead and 15 injured as police and military forces storm protesters outside hydrocarbon plant in la Paz. Lead bullets and teargas grenades used, despite the protesters opening a route for passage as requested . "They are killing us in the streets"...

    New Tourist Tax

    New proposals will levy a daily tax for non resident tourists of between .50 - 1.50 USD. Yes, per day! So all those permatourists in BA using all the infrastructure and services while others pay the costs and related taxes, well, maybe those days are over... Cheers...

    Spending 10 hours in Buenos Aires tomorrow - with luggage! Advice?

    If you really end up doing this then I'd strongly suggest you plan a 2/3 hour contingency time on either end. Things can suddenly end up taking 3x the expected time in Argentina. Honestly I wouldn't risk leaving the airport and missing my connection. A lot can go wrong in 10 hours. Now if you...

    Bolivia

    The political stance of ISAL-Bolivia and others engendered a sharp response from the bishops. Shortly after ISAL-Bolivia contended that capitalism had contaminated the church, the CEB stripped the organization of its official Catholic status. In a subsequent pastoral letter, the bishops stated...

    Bolivia

    It's not 95% Catholic , it's 76% Catholic. A lot of that is actually indigeonous-Catholicism. I.e. it's the result of 500 years of religeous colonialisation of the native populations and their pre-existing spiritual beliefs. This was historically, in part, characterised by combining and...

    Region Free DVD Players

    Ok, got it. In that case I'd suggest you check if your tv has a USB port. It almost certainly does. In which case you should be able to get a ton of old, or any, movies put on a USB stick. There are many sources to download digital versions legitimately or otherwise. With a little research and...

    Region Free DVD Players

    I mean, do you plan on watching on a home theatre setup for example, or a laptop. Have you thought about just getting non physical digital versions of whatever you are looking for...

    Region Free DVD Players

    In all seriousness, whats your use case? DVD's are pretty much obsolete. You may be far better advised to update your tech somewhat. Good Luck!

    Bolivia

    The progressive left has some interesting analysis. "Evo Morales, even if he didn't run for president again, was legitimate as leader till December when his term was to end. He was forced to leave by the military before this, and a new leader has been put in place only because she is next in...

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    Sounds about right. A bunch of scammers peddling a morally, politically, and economically bankrupt joke. These guys are to politics/economics what spiritual healers and alternative therapies are to science and medicine . I feel bad for the fools who are taken in by their quite obvious...

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    Oh come now. This guy posted a ton of videos (many now taken down) where he proudly expouses his bankrupt libertarian supremecist fachists ideology in spades. Always talking about violence against his ideological enemies. How, if you see someone with a machette, you should have an automatic...

    When will Argentina default ?

    It could be because they have some random 'estimated' figure they use in lieu of a actually checking your meter. (Your 900p). So when they eventually get round to it and see you've used more electricity than their guesses, they then bill you for the difference. (Your 5000p). Who knows though...

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    It's still up, you just can't see it as an embedded video, click to open a new tab and open in YouTube, should work.

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    Yep, disgusting fellow indeed. The Washington Post article links to an other video he posted right after shooting the protesters. Also disturbing watching if you have the stomach for it. This is where the alt-right-libertarian white supremacists second amendment 'guns solve everything' types...

    Getting pesos OUT?

    This will also depend on if the funds you hold 'in cash' have a paper trail and are 'en blanco'. Sounds shady, but good luck in any case :p

    Dove Hunting

    I don't have a problem with pest control, I just think hunting purely for the 'sport' of shooting 1000 birds a day and not eating them is a joke. It's shooting fish in a barrel. Go stalk a deer for a few days and then butcher and eat the meat. Or go fishing and cook up the catch. Anyway, I...
