    John, I have never been to your bar/restaurant. I applaud your making a public apology to David and your attitude in general. You seem like a sincere fellow who would do well to look into the validity and frequency of the service problems some have identified. When I get back into town I'll be...

    Magdalena´s Party restaurant

    Interesting to see the divergence of opinions from ex-waiters.The difference may be attributable to the fact that the practice of tipping varies from culture to culture. In the US it's pretty common to give a tip of at least 10% even for poor service and between 15-20% for good service. In...

    Thanks for the info. I have been surfing the net and have found sites that are helpful. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here in "Travellers Stories",too, and it has been helpful. (Sorry if I came off as haughty with prior post).

    Best way to access Canadian funds from BA

    Local Banks charge US $4 (17.16 pesos) per ATM withdrawl (max 1000 pesos). I suggest that for 3 weeks you bring a bunch of cash, preferably dollars though euros would be ok too. Not so much for the avoidance of ATM fees, but for for the informal/black market rate for the dollar which is now 4.78...

    Paying rent in pesos, legal exchange rate

    The informal dollar went down from 4.79 early in the week to 4.78 yesterday. See www.ambito.com/economia/mercados/dolar.asp The official rate is 4.29 (buy) 4.33 (sell). It appears you have the legal rights to insist that he accept 4.33 pesos times the number of dollars recited in the lease as...

    To ask for the horny goat weed in Spanish, just say: ¿Puedo tener algunas de las malas hierbas que supuestamente descubierta por el pastor de cabras chino que permita mi novia a empujar el puño en el culo? You are a very considerate and refined person.

    Why is Susana Freydoz still Free

    Tell me please: Is your point that "there's no truly (sic) justice here"; or Is your point that "Killers, thiefs, (sic) etc have more rights than normal decent people"; or Is your point "That crazy woman should be hanged or jailed for life." I ask because I don't "get" any of these points...

    Why is Susana Freydoz still Free

    Bajo- 1. With regard to confessions, does AR have anything like the Miranda rule and or Miranda rights? 2. Are spontaneous declarations by an arrestee barred froom evidence even if there was no police interrogation that prompted the declaration? 3. Do statements made to private security guards...

    Now you know there is an approximate 10% premium for US cash so how much you intend to spend may dictate whether you feel okay with the lower ATM rates for daily living expenses. Caveat. In 3 months I would not be surprised if 10% turned into 20%. You won't have a problem finding reliable places...
