didn't macri say metro fares would rise to $4 and everyone printed it like it was the gospel. It was: a guess. unless they change all the machines on the colectivos, I can't see people being expected to ride a bus and paying out 4 pesos in coins every time. That's simply not going to work. They...

the most the US would do (I think) on the Falk/Malv question is "agree" with argentina that "there need to be talks". They wouldn't come out and say "yeah, we think argentina should gain sovereignty there". That's not going to happen. AFAIK, the US position is already that there should be...

I may not agree with the delusions of Lucas but by jove I'll defend his right to be deluded till my last breath (or until I have to pop out for dulce de leche, whichever's first) Happy to have him and other argentines here on the forum. at least s/he's not a raving psycho loon crowing "it's the...

tell her you'll check with the AFIP what the "official" rate is. I suspect it might drop a wee bit at that point.

so relieved I've never brought serious money into this country. Was clear 2 years back it was a house of cards waiting for a breeze. Been ATM'ing it for my whole stay and gracias a dios for that. sick of so many countries' economies being run by idiots who wouldn't pass Economics 101. Maybe CK...

I have no doubt that cristina has been and will be as corrupt as they come while she's in office, giving back handers, giving hand ups to "friends", making a personal nest egg for the future, bending rules, giving false economic data, etc, etc. I also have no doubt that any of the others...

Hi, my gf is looking to rent a room for all of January and February. Would only consider sharing with 1, maybe 2 females. She works and is very quiet, considerate, so wouldn't be a hassle for anyone. She works on cabildo avenue so would prefer belgrano/palermo/N. colegiales areas. her budget is...

it's the dollar nazi. Whatever you do, don't ask for bread.

Hi Joe, exactly what kindle is it. 700 pesos works out at $166. Could you post a link to the actual product on Amazon please?

...and they wonder why everyone prefers to keep their money under their mattresses here? :D

I've never understood why a UK/US bank doesn't come here and offer free banking. Wouldn't they clean up? Are there laws/regulations that stipulate that banks MUST charge for having basic current accounts?

wasn't there a story from the US this week that a guy was threatening to jump off a bridge, so the police shot him. I exploded with the irony of that.

just seemed that your post was veering dangerously into apologist territory. When looters are stepping out of shops saying things like "we're getting our taxes back", all bets are off. :)

join the queue of those making pathetic excuses for opportunistic theft. Congrats.

it's not too late yet. Look for that rule to be tweaked in the next month or so, possibly leading to the top division being expanded by one or two teams. if the rule does stay as it is, River are going to find it working against them when they come back up as newly promoted teams have the...

Read maradona's reasoning for the '86 handball goal and then re-read his comments about FIFA. *cough* hypocrisy *cough* must get that niggling cough seen to

I wouldn't trust a single argentine bank with a single centavo of mine. Never. Ever. And that's not "forriner parnoia". About 50% of argentines are equally paranoid that I've met here. The long lasting effects of banks just closing their doors in 2001 and saying "oh, sorry, you've lost all your...

The BA Herald is a good ESL teaching tool. let's see.... 1. Spot the mistakes 2. Which words would you substitute to make this sentence mean what it's supposed to mean. 3. Guess the ESL level of the article's author. 4. Hilariously inappropriate headlines
