You can provide him with money for room and board much more cheaply than in the US, especially considering the savings on tuition. He will learn a lot here, not necessarily in the classroom. I should have sent all my children to Argentina to college. Out of sight out of mind.

All of the above are possible although it would help if your parents could set up a trust fund to pay you a few thousand US dollars every month. Consider your competition for jobs. They can still keep their rooms with Mom and Dad like you would if you didn't have that damned sense of adventure...

You could practice prenatal kundalini yoga on the fake novia embarazada.

If I'm paying $50 to go to a fake wedding I want some fake bridesmaids to flirt with and some real food and drink.

Don't get too excited, Serafina. It will be faux food. The desire for it will never be consummated.

Libertad, between Corrientes and Av. Rivadavia is the diamond district and a number of shops sell estate jewelry and objets d'art. In a couple of windows I saw beautifully crafted silver mates y bombillas that obviously belonged to some rich Argentine some hundred years ago. They also have mates...

Try the Feria de Mataderos market on Sunday. They have craftsmen and artisans of all kinds and qualities and lots and lots of mate gourds and bombillas. I can't judge the quality of any of them or the prices because I was not looking at or for them and have zero expertise, but they had them in...

Lacoqueta, Have you chosen a book for the October bookclub meeting? I would like to get it while I'm still in range of Amazon! Thanks, Fangar

Wait, wait, wait! I have magic jack on my US computer and can transfer it to my laptop, but thought I heard that magic jack would only work in US and not in Argentina. But Ceviche, dear boy, you are using it in BA? Anything special need to be done other than hooking up my laptop to an internet...

garryl says: The rent in dollar is still about the same, right ? So, this is really due to the printing of pesos. Which, when you consider the vast output of dollars over the last several years by the Federal Reserve, really is scary.
