In my experience the Irish-Argentine community are quite aware and reverential of Irish culture. Irish-American culture is another animal, it's more the fusion of American and Irish values. Not saying that's bad. This Scottish day business however should involve more mid to late 90s Scottish...

Printing money without any assets to back it up has got us to 30%+ inflation, who is up for trying something else? Maybe let's find the real value of the peso and work from that basis. Obviously counter intuitive in Argentina which is addicted to short term populist solutions, but we're at the...

All you immigrants with non official status would suffer anyway. Turkeys hoping for other turkeys to vote for Xmas :) The "real" problem right now is the Brazilian devaluation. Argentina simply must follow suit, not sure how that can play out to satisfy all parties.

If I have a US bank account but am not a US citizen can I use Xoom?

Need to segregate categories.

"Empty trivial extraneous sound bites" he cried "ZERO VALUE ADDED." he added, somewhat unaware of the sweet sweet irony.

There was a feel good thread before, it did get some traffic. Why don't you start a feel good thread, you'll probably get some people joining in.

In September we brought, in our suitcases, the following back from EU. 1. Various printed linens in metre rolls 2. 3 or 4 specific tools which cannot be bought in Arg. 3. Boxes of upholstery tacks 4. Lots of kids clothes and frozen dolls from Disney. Passed through aduana without an issue...

Small typos are par for the course in online forums, only a churlish ninny would spend much time fussing over a small typo where the poster was trying to help.

How trite. I don't support this government, quite the opposite. I just don't like rude and hysterical people of which you are clearly one. Glad you left, one less hysterical fool living here. Result.

Rude and unecessary. Why bother? I wonder whose comment is more useful? Your pedantic chirping or the local lawyer's comment which responded directly to the OP?

Too big to fail :) ...kidding. No, they aren't going anywhere. Truthfully, if China did fail it would be seismic event which would make the Lehman brothers collapse look like a slow day on the market. It really would be time to buy bottled water and tins of beans!

Scandinavian "socialism" is in fact Social Democracy. Even in Sweden large monopolies exist, private companies exist and thrive. What the Scandinavians have been successful in doing in using resources to develop social infrastructure, taxing and weath sharing. That has come under some strain due...

China has, right now, the largest foreign currency reserve in the world at around $4 tn dollars. That 200bn money has not been "lost", it has been invested in overseas assets and I would assume a return would be expected. The reserve ratio was lowered half a point to stimulate loans. No doubt...

Also it's the end of the holiday season, traditionally a period of lower demand.

I mean this sincerely, why do you feel the Nisman family deserved your condolences (assuming you are not associated with them personally) any more so than any of the 10 or so police men who have died in the line of duty for example? It's a shame the man died and I hope his accusations are...

Didn't go, and it was clearly organised with the idea of cementing the idea that there is something untoward with the investigation in process on behalf of the govt. The govt has shamed and embarassed themselves with their cheap insinuation and lack of respect for due process, but sadly the...

This is pretty much all that's left of this forum. Inane sterotyping from libertarians who don't live here.

Just to add that those criticisms of Pura Tierra are extremely out of sync with anything I have experienced or read.

Until visiting fans are allowed back in your options are tour company, make friends with a socio (booooo..bosteros..booo!) or go down and get taken advantage of by a ticket scalp. In an election year no governor nor government can afford the bad press (insecurity headlines) generated by...
