My wife and I went through Colonia at 94 days and they caught it. I said, "Cuántos días? No puede ser!" in a horrible accent. And she let us pass, but clearly annoyed. Like you we realized our mistake after purchasing the ferry tickets and just gambled. My guess is you can pull off one day. Good...

Quick interlude for a question: Do workers on strike get paid during the strike?

In general, here in Argentina, do workers on strike get paid during their strike?

Yeah, I don't any alliances being new to BA, but it does seem Macri's being screwed. But I can't figure out why he raised subte prices if he then decided not to take it over.

I found this very helpful article about the current Subte strike in the Montreal Gazette. I hadn't known about some of the details mentioned. Thought it was worth sharing. http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Buenos+Aires+subway+strike+amid+power+struggle+between+president/7077265/story.html

I think you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way. And it's so much better that way too! :)

I'm interested in hearing why you believe most grocery stores stock up on 6 liter and smaller size bottles of water. And why filters are easy to buy?

That's exactly what "most people" want. You nailed it! We were having a fine conversation without your arrogance.

Very helpful Bajo_cero2, thanks.

We kept track of exact expenses one week and realized about 20-25% of our grocery budget goes to bottled water! Don't really know another way. We do have a counter-top Brita but don't use it because tap water still tastes nasty afterward. Also, my landlord made sure we weren't using hot tap...

I live in Las Cañitas and use Xoom regularly. I always have to go to the "More Money Transfers" location at Libertad 1057 (just off of Av. Santa Fe). It's a pain, but really easy and worth it.

In case you're interested, the game is starting on ESPN right now. Monday, 6:15pm.

Same happened to me as PhilipDT says. I had an ATM receipt, but that doesn't work. You have to first purchase the pesos (with dollars) here in Argentina, keep that receipt (comprobante), then you can change the remaining pesos back into dollars with the receipt at only a few select places (the...

You can see what we wrote about our time in Colonia. Maybe it will help you. http://beforeweage.com/2012/01/19/the-first-run-to-colonia-uruguay/

Your situation/agreement may different, but I know for us, we've agreed to pay in dollars. When we can't pay in dollars for a certain month we've paid the exchange rate we were getting from our bank, so no one is making or losing money in the exchange. I have thought about offering to pay only...

Haven't gone myself, but you should be able to watch the games at Casa Bar.

NBA Finals should be on ESPN. I've been watching the games. Use SAP audio setting to listen in English if you want.
