Like everywhere else in the world there is always a lot of buzz about art, meaning everybody talks about art, but in reality there are hardly any buyers at all. Art is mostly a hobby, also for the gallery owners. They have other businesses that support their gallery activities. This includes...

There are good things and bad things wherever you live, but I like the cultural climate of Buenos Aires, with so many things going on. I find that quite unique and that's why I am here. Financially it's tough but that is everywhere the same. Via internet I know what's going on in the rest of the...

Jimi Hendrix used to go even further than 11 on those Marshalls. The studio having to buy new amps every other day. :D Pushing things through the limit. The politicians go too far... But remember that's part of their plan. They like it when people feel a bit anxious. Because that gives the...

The reason that it's all about black and white is, you're either for us, or against us. Simplicity rules when doing masshypnosis. Repetition is key. All governments do this by the way. So it really is hardly surprising that the K's do the same. What's new? If you think that it's about having...

Isn't it possible that Argentina is held back in it's development by some very powerful lobbies, who don't like a too succesful independant country in the backgarden of the USA? Milton Friedman's "sado-monetarism" has been official policy for years and still is. It's all about the proper use of...

Yeah Fredd, It's the DNI that I don't have, so I think it's not possible with an Argentinian bank. But thanks for the idea to get a loan in pesos. Cheers, JP

Exactly Rich One, Everything became much more expensive, but at the same time the banks gave me more and more pesos whenever I went to an ATM. It's still going up all the time.

Thanks nikad, I'll try something else then. Get in touch with my bank right away! :)

I am the proud owner of a nice little place in San Telmo for six years now and I am staying here on a tourist visa. Does anybody have experience with getting a small bridging loan (in dollars or euros) using this type of property as collateral? I was thinking about something like 3000 dollars...

Buenos Aires is a beautiful city. No matter what things are wrong, the beauty is still the same, also after many years. It feels like you're walking through a painting of Edward Hopper.
