That's a frightening difference in price. To think of it it is also quite silly. To think that tourists have and are willing to pay the higher price is bad judgment. It reduces incentives to travel by plane and reduces competition. I suppose since AA is now on the road to public ownership the...

Sorry. I was distracted when I was making my original post. Yes I meant tea and biscuits, that sort of thing.

Gusgutier, Thank you for response but I have been led to believe that the price of soy has dropped considerably in the last year just like the vast majority of raw resources and materials. Furthermore I think one can make a lot of comparisons between Argentina, Chile, Venezuela etc when there...

Just out of curiosity are there any Argentinian bands that are similar, like or influenced by bands such as diverse as LCD Soundsystem, The Fall, A Certain Ratio, The Rapture? I write for an online music magazine in Dublin, Ireland and want to write about the more alternative music scene in BA...

When I was living in BA I loved the food. Although there was not many specialty stores like a British/American/German food store or a wholly organic one etc the range and choice overall was good. Restaurants were very good. I preferred the dining scene to a lot of cities I have been to and was...

Just out of curiosity, how different are the prices for the same flight i.e Bs As to Mendoza/Bariloche for residents and non-residents.

And on a side note I have been looking at vacation rentals in Buenos Aires. There is a significant drop of reservations after March/April. I think it is one example that things havn't hit yet that hard in Argentina. Bookings, short term business contracts and revenues have not kept up with the...

Well this time last year the dollar was in the doldrums. A lot of currencies, especially ones export and raw materials dominated (Australia, Brazil etc) were doing incredibly well and then in October it all colapsed as exports slowly did. 2.60 was a possibility. I remember talks of even parity...

In a city so large and vast as Bs As 300 restaurants may not be that much. Are any big named restaurants closing? I suppose it is still early yet in this crisis and the end of the summer period might also have an effect. What I would like to know is have price rises began to stop and do you...

I think it is going to hit Argentina hard, a lot harder than some of its peers in South America. The government is over-reliant on revenue from its (until recently) booming exports. It squandered them on bad micro-economic policies and wage increases, stoking inflation. Unlike Chile it did not...

Hey! Well I am not technically an ex-pat in Bs As but I used to travel back and forth for about two years between 2004-6 and havn't been back since. I am returning to Bs As in June for a month or so and am from Dublin, Ireland. My name is Conor.
