    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    Exactly. If everything goes right and nothing goes wrong and after discounting the Buquebus fare ,,etc ,, the reward definitely will be less than 10 pesos per Dollar. It's not worth it for me to take that risk and waste and hassle a whole day for less than a 100 bucks ,,, if any at all. I need...

    Can someone inform me on the numbers? Let's assume that I successfully accumulated $10000 US and successfully arranged to cash them all in one trip. How would the numbers differ or compare? $10000 US (100 bills of $100 US) WU/Uruguay vs. $10000 US (converted to peso) WU/Argentina

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    I'm thinking of accumulating 10 WU/Uruguay transfers $1000 US EACH. Then cashing all 10 transfers in one trip. That would work, no? I'm only interested in the economics and numbers of $9999 US operation. Uruguay beaches are not part of my enquiry. Any benefit or difference compared 10...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    People's personality and preferences and ideas differ widely and wildly. Of course I go to some speciality local stores but I'll never marry an Argentine or do research for a kilo of lamb. ,, Txs but no txs ,,, paso paso. 🤣 For me ,,, equating major super markets to only coke and pizza is a...

    Aside from the Ferretería and parking lots I have no idea what is the deal there? For me ,,,, San Martin and Reconquista between Tucumán and Plaza San Martín is historic. Old Harrods, Galería Pacífico, Iglesias dated year 1742, many Hiltons, Sheratons, NH hotels, 4 & 5 stars restaurants, ...

    Marbled Roast beef is my favorite cut since about 3 years ago I switched. Tenderness is draw of the luck ,,, when you get a tough one ,,, nothing you can do. One cannot predict or guess the toughness from the color. But the flavor of the roast beef is my favorite.
