I did sent money to myself using xoom, it works wery well, but they charge some expenses, simply bring you passport. If possible the downtown offices of WUnionn, etc.

FYI, the original Brazil was the north-east corner of the continent only, as limited by the Treaty of Tordesillas with Spain. The limit was a vertical line starting at the town of Laguna, on the east coast. When Spain and Portugal united (for a while), the limit was erased and the Portuguese...

No history of military intervention? Brazil is the most imperialistic country in South America. In the 19th century it went to war against each and every neighbor it had. It stole millions of sqare miles, and became a giant country, starting as one small colony. And Brazil went to war against...

Here, in Barcelona, in certain areas popular with tourists, during the day you will be offered drugs and during the night you will be offered drugs and sex. I almost lost my mind last summer because of the constant ‘Psst! Coffee shop? Smoke some weed? Cocaine?’ every time I walked through...

San Telmo is the oldest part of the city. It has a lot of 19th century houses and buildings. It is tourist attraction, during the day is fairly safe. After midnidnight it may be iffy. Just use taxi cabs to come and go at night, and do not flash jewelry, expensive electronics, etc. Use normal...

There is a saying that states that good money always chases out the bad money. I think that to dolarize the economy (or most of it) is an excelent idea. The first benefit will be that the goverment will not be able to run a fiscal deficit, so it will be be forced to balance the budgets. We can...

Couple of more things: A) I think that if you own front loaded guns (that is,it does not uses regular bullets but loose gun powder) you do not have to get a CLU from ANMAC. B) If you go a Saturday morning to the TIRO FERERAL DE LOMAS DE ZAMORA) you can do almost everything there (medical,vision...

If you are a legal resident you can buy any gun for personal defense at your home (no CCW here) You go to an ARMERIA (gun shop) and they will sell it and do the paper work for you, or you can do it at the ANMAC office, located in B Mitre St and Parana I think. You have to have a clean police...
