    Water Water everywhere.....

    No one seems to give a crap about any health issue in Buenos Aires. That´s another subject I´ll start a new thread on. Regards water here. To me it tastes horrible. I am constantly drinking this kind of water both in and out of the country and I really appreciate nice tasting water. To those...

    Coca Mate - Interesting to try

    no rules baby! I second the be careful opinion. In peru they say `ah, it's not the same thing`, and, in a way, they are right, it's not at all the same as cocaine. But it's still additive, like coffee. Try it but I wouldn't go crazy with it. Sugar, caffine, alcohol, ass, there's more to BA...

    Best US Debit Card (Not credit Card) to use in Buenos Aires?

    I would say, go with a US proxy(PM if need help) and reapply online. Wow, didn't relise US banking was so good. We have non charging abroad accounts in the UK but they don't refund those 16peso fees. Would be great to avoid that some day.

    non or low-chlorine swimming pools?

    Sorry to bump an old thread but saline is a good alternative. Basically you just use salt (or even better, sea salt/sea water). Personally I don't mind the taste. Most people don't like it. However, it is by far the cheapest option. Salt tends to be used in cheap outdoor pools

    Work and Salary Expectations

    I think that is the way to go. As is paying people for the work done. I can't help thinking the whole employee/employer setup itself is wrong and that perhaps things might work better if the tasks themselves were passed to the market.

    Inflation in BA?

    So, Argentina is not as independent to the crash as I thought? Just wondering, going offtopic a bit but if not Argentina, then where do you think is the most isolated, yet prosperous place in the world to be?

    Offshore accounts?

    Just a passport, its a core part of their countries legal identity to offer accounts to non Uruguayans. However, I wonder if its seen as unpopular, perhaps some propaganda from those places that are harmed by it. Let us know how you get on.

    Inflation in BA?

    Here´s the picture emerging to me: The Argentine government actually do a good job (if it wasnt for beaurocracy id say very), but this is completely undermined by a wholly separate and more powerful entity that is printing money. - just like in other countries Only here, the history of...
