    Fine for overstaying the visa to be increased to 500$ soon

    Probably not but lets give it a bash anyway :-) Agreed. Good explanation. Not only does inflation cost more through fiat currency devaluation, products cost more and you pay more tax. Theoretically this should self govern inflation through fiscal drag but I'm yet to observe an economy where...

    I'm not sure you understood what the inflation post was really saying.

    Fine for overstaying the visa to be increased to 500$ soon

    This is a good example of how inflation can also hurt the government. Bracket creep applied to penalties means that the gov receives less revenue unless they adjust penalties for inflation. 50 pesos to 300 and soon 500 speaks more about inflation than immigration policy.

    English interior designer/decorator

    It will be challenging. I'm not sure of rates but you could reach your target audience through English speaking advertising channels such as the Buenos Aires herald. Do you have a marketing plan?

    Zebra rugs in BA

    I'm no moral elitist but aren't zebra way to cute to kill? I don't mind eating cow a la parrilla but walking on a dead zebra would be.... well... disrespectful.

    How much would you pay for this apartment?

    A difficult question to answer.... how long is a piece of string? 120m is not big. Your describing a fully furnished apartment in a top location so would guess between usd 2,000 and 4,000 per month. This would include all expenses, including internet. Side note: Be wary of apartments below the...

    VoIP, Ooma, Vonage, Skype, etc.

    I had not heard of them until now so decided to check them out. MagicTalk uses VOIP technology which is a plus. Free calls are also great but the downside is that you need to have your computer turned on to make a phone call. This might be ok for some, but in my case it would be impractical. If...

    VoIP, Ooma, Vonage, Skype, etc.

    I agree, depending on way you do, it could be cheaper. I did use Skype a few years ago and it did work. I suppose I dislike Skype because I'm a technical moralists who for various reasons object to how they have broken a standard (voip) by introducing their own... and done it poorly.... but...

    VoIP, Ooma, Vonage, Skype, etc.

    Using a regular phone and keeping your number is what I have done through a voip Telco in Australia. It works perfectly and means that my family, friends and colleagues call a local number in Australia which rings in my office in bs.as. It rocks because my incoming calls are free and my outgoing...
