    New and already had a gun pulled on me

    These "lobby door" muggings are really happening more regularly these days, especially in expat-popular barios like Palermo. Although many expats know Spanish and keep a low profile, these criminals still can see that you`re foreigner. But there are also expats that run around like clowns...

    CFK and ÉL

    good point! does CK or Bodou or Moreno and the funky K-bunch here ever answer questions coming from the (independent) press? are there official press conferences where they get fried for their doings and deciscions? it doesn`t seem to exist here. CK and the K`s just don`t answer questions...

    New SUBE rule?

    hey, just don`t go to Plaza de Mayo or to any other of those BIG destinations (like train stations) where they hand out the SUBE card. Many Argies just love to stand in lines, they don`t question this or go over their options...well, i don`t get it. I got mine last week, one day before the...

    CFK and ÉL

    YanquiGallego, i TOTALLY agree with you. it`s really annoying. However, as cheap as this soap opera production is, it seems to work with 54% of the voters. that`s why she keeps on doing that "poor old widow" performance. without the deceased "El" she probably wouldn`t have had such a landslide...

    WTF Teatro Colon?!

    Argentinians, again, are just seeing the quick buck here. Probably they already feel that in a year or so something bad will happen and want to collect as much money as possible. tourists are an easy target. they think tourists are going to pay it anyway ("prices are going up everywhere, so...

    So, whats next?

    i`d take Berlin. Lived there for six years. Wonderful city - and not so "German" as you might think. very open, very international. great nightlife, cheap fresh food, cool hang outs. however, some german phrases to get by in the beginning is recommendable. But go there when spring arrives, in...

    New Daily Peso Limit?

    i usually could take out as much as i wanted (e.g. 2x1000pesos at the same atm was no problem)...BUT something changed. since yesterday i`m only allowed to withdraw 700pesos per day. i tried other atm`s but with the same result. however, in general i`m not a big "withdrawer" of money - i only...

    Dia de Campo - recommendation?

    Hi all! Can anyone recommend me an Estancia that offers a nice "Dia de Campo" including some horseback riding and asado in the Provincia de Buenos Aires? It shouldn`t be too far out - no more than 1-1 1/2hs driving. Could you also tell me what you paid for that and if you took a transportation...

    Another CFK Corralito

    what a terible discussion. i`m not a u.s. citizen, and I`m not an argentinian - sure, things can be better here, but, hey, live with it! you`re lucky anyway, you`re a foreigner that earns decent money, right? i think that you can´t really understand how things/politics/people work, think etc...
