    The new airlines

    Even so me being a Brit flying on Argentine military planes would feel a bit tense. Probably best not to turn up in a freshly ironed 'I love the Falklands' t shirt..

    The new airlines

    'Cheap' is relative. Compared to Europe and the US the 'low costs' are not cheap. I read on a travel blog once upon a time that the Argentine airforce runs a flight service for the public. Anyone with experience of that?

    Finally, an economic plan that makes sense!

    Saying that Macri should have come into power making huge socioeconopolitical changes are ignoring or forgetting that he barely won the election against a very stale, hysterical and increasingly obviously corrupt government and after sucking up to the peronist and unmilitant ks. Also non...

    Argentina's Economic Collapse in 2001

    I think Macri did and does make clear what his government inherited. At the same time he barely beat Kircher despite the state she left the country in. Hes aware that he has to tread a fine line. He isnt a populist so looking for blame and victimhood isnt his style afterall his selling point was...

    Is Puerto Madera safe to walk around at night?

    When you report a theft to your barrio police all you are doing is telling the police what they can find and keep for themselves, sell on or use to extort the 'thief' - they know who the 'bad' elements are in the barrio so they know where to look.

    Replacing a lost DNI for a foreigner

    Migraciones and banks are light years ahead today vs. a few years ago. They must have been unspeakably bad in the past then. My argentine bank is pre big bang still. Mind bogglingly bad.

    How to force a bank to release my money ?

    Yesterday I went to my bank Banco Francés and asked if there is a daily limit on my Visa debit card. Two established bank workers told me that the only limit was what I had in my account. I sold a significant sum of dollars and put the pesos into my account ready for the debit transacción. The...

    Safety

    Look, you'll be absolutely fine. Just take the necessary precautions such as; wear a kevlar vest, pack an Uzi 9mm and grenade belt, make the trip at 4am and drive really fast with the lights off...

    Macri to implement price controls: Let's Do The Timewarp Again

    Yes but at the time that was actually true. From quoted statement he is stating what be believes to be fact - not being an apologist or promoter for Chavez. I mean he was an economic advisor to Hillary Clinton!

    Exorcisms in Argentina

    Likewise those who are content and rational don't say out of the blue 'I want Jesus in my life'. Everyone who becomes theist is either culturally conditioned or is lost.

    When will property be cheap in Buenos Aires?

    LOL. Is there a better way to waste US$10 000 a year? He needs to get a Falcon and do it up. Its way cooler and he'll still have plenty left over for an annual holiday in the Seychelles, dancing girls, 20 a day habanos habit, etc..
