Matias has a sound point - this index is a poor measure of comparative social welfare It also has some explicitly pro-Washington political objectives. "Freedom" for whom? Seems it also shows poor correlation with GNP pc I'd say it is of passing and superficial interest only. Wikipedia...

@Lamb 1. identifying "Italians" as a seperate hate group is racism. There is case law on this. The same as "Irish" or "British" etc etc for the purposes of racial equality and discrimination legislation. There are numerous other examples and its simply splitting hairs to pretend otherwise...

Hope you have someone reliable with wheels standing by at all hours and with all their paperwork intact in a few months time! ;) I've had to do the hospital dash a couple of times when my children were born. But not here :D Infact I recall we were actually stopped by the Police on the way -...

I dont disagree and we can have a whole discussion about Menem economics, kleptocracy, "privatisation" and the Washington consensus, "cheap loans" with strings attached etc etc which arguably all contributed to the collapse - but up till now this thread is about short term inflationary trends...

Yes increasing but not run-away i.e nothing like the rates of inflation which Argentinians have seen in the past and in particular the two bouts of hyperinflation in the 1980's Ask anyone aged over 25 about the stories of the supermarkets employing people to continuously update the price...

I guess after your recent experience this might be a reason for getting your licence in order? Unlucky to have got caught out so soon after posting :)

All this is too much faff for me! And it requires a numeric keyboard which isnt on my laptop and even switching to and from Span Int. keyboard is a bore I would recommend the following little app which makes an intuitive leap by using the caps lock key plus whatever other key to be accented...

# Both! And anyone else who will listen! :angry: I'm waiting for "on-line" petitions to start up here in Buenos Aires. They will go mega!! :) Maybe a business opportunity for one of the nerds who follow on here. :cool:

Devaluation will probably lead to higher inflation.

Yes a series of misadventures at both ends of your journey and having to argue with Immigration after sleep deprivation well anyone will sympathise. Thanks for posting and yes some obvious pointers about having some money in your pocket when travelling. Did you not know about the admission...

The fact is Dirtboy he didnt hit you. The BsAs driver mentality is that a miss is as good as a mile. No such concept as one's defensible space exists here either on the road or the pavement. For example cars/buses cutting it fine at turns and junctions. If they come too close then I wack 'em...
