    From BA, USA & Europe assumes you are a criminal

    I can't connect to my computer in the UK for some reason. I don't know if the cable has fallen out the back or what. As a result I want to pay for a VPN/Proxy in order to buy a prepay card because I don't want to risk my card online. Let me tell you... it is virtually impossible to get...

    Sports clubs

    I'd like to go and play a sport with strangers. Anything! People here seem to arrange games between friends but with this it takes ages to find someone at your level and you never meet anyone new. It could be a great way to break into having local friends which many have said is so crucial for...

    Inflation comparision reference

    Thought you might find this interesting. First of all, the Peso VS other currencies. It's clearly manually inflated/controlled against the dollar. Well, I find this very interesting anyway: And then other currencies and how much they inflate in general by comparing to gold: So, although ARS...

    internet on iphone prepago with PERSONAL

    Beware: You do have to activate the data pack to get that 1P/day instead of per mb. I was using per mb for ages as I couldn't get it to enable. I tried the shops, no help, I tried the sim menu, no help. Eventually I called up the options menu. Now, I can't remember what number it is to dial...

    Argentina & Extradition

    The first ignorant attitude to this is "I do nothing wrong, I've not got anything to worry about". If all countries acted as USA does you should change your tune because some country somewhere you're breaking a law at some point, no doubt. What about the UK teenager who's going to USA for...

    Piracy/ Intelectual Property

    Argentina, no rules baby! The moral discussion regards intellectual property is becoming very tiresome. The issues covers everything from 3D object design, trademarks, patents, everything! I believe that enforcing intellectual property is impossible. The costs of doing so across the board...

    Will the Falklands debacle soon be repeated?

    I heard there could be 65 billion barrels around the Falklands (this is aside from Argentine Antartica, Patagonia, the north and conventional and unconventional tar sands on land) The problem is that there is political capital to be gained from throwing weight around on both sides. Somehow we...

    Transferring funds to buy apartment

    There are a million ways to do this and Argentina is the place where those million and one ways happen. The cheapest and most dynamic solution I know of: https://intersango.com/ It's cheapest because the people running it aren't charging fees because they are encouraging a decentralised...

    Barter exchange networks in Argentina

    I wasn't sure whether to file under 'culture' or 'expat events'. I read about Bartering here in Argentina during the crisis with great interest as this is something I have been hoping would help Europe and the USA in particular during hard times...
