go to the search engine and type in the word dollars. there are SEVERAL other threads about this. to sum up: its pretty much impossible to buy foreign currency legally at this point. the situation is even worse if you are a tourist and not a resident or citizen of argentina.

allcraz - we have accounts here with 2 different banks and when we use our credit card outide of argentina the amount does come up in dollars but you can pay it off using the OFFICIAL exchange rate in pesos. the risky part is of course that they give you the exchange rate the day that you pay...

"...and blessed with a population whose expectations could hardly be lower.." this line made me smile!

The food looks amazing and i am thrilled to discover that its possible to buy biltong here! As a South African that makes me happy! :)

Just wanted to say that if anyone is looking for a place to donate things we had a wonderful experience with the Salvation Army. Called them last week and arranged for them to come today between 8-11. They arrived at 9.15 with 2 guys and a van and within 5 minutes had everything loaded and were...

OP - just to clarify - your layover was in rio or sao paulo?

in my experience people who work for the airlines are completely clueless. always best to check with the embassy or consulate before you travel to a country.

Matt84 - As a white south african i find that quote insulting. :(

there have been quite a lot of previous discussions about this so i would search the forum but the basic answer is no. salaries here are 40 pesos an hour. its difficult to find more than 20 hours a week of work which means you would be making 3200 pesos per month and thats on the high end of the...

I would also like to know what the June 7th comment refers to. What happening?

I would be interested in hearing more about this.

I agree. Its definately NOT 40-60 pesos an hour. Why dont you put an ad up and ask people to include their expected salary range. Also if you are looking I would definately suggest asking people on this board for recommendations.

a friend of mine exchanged pesos into pounds in london on monday. he had to call a lot of different places to find somewhere that would do it and who knows if this place will still be willing to buy pesos in august. i would probably try to buy dollars here but if you want to know where this...

Depends on the person and how motivated you are. As far as i know there are no english speaking universities here. And finding a job without a work visa is extremely difficult. There was another thread about this but basically English isnt such a commodity here anymore as most professional...

The problem is that it wasnt just this one school, its been every single school i have contacted in the last few days. This just happened to be the most infuriating experience. It just makes me angry that ANYBODY charges in for anything in dollars when the currency here is PESOS!!!

I got the information for a spanish school off this forum and thought i would share my experience with everyone. I emailed the school asking for prices. She told me 300 dollars for 40 hours. I wrote back expressing my suprise because i was under the impression that it was 200 dollars . She...

i know it Brazil they have a month which can be taken all at once or seperately. i would love to see that implemented here.
