So imagine for a minute you are a parent and you have 7 kids. With the job you are working you can feed, clothe, and educate 5 kids properly. The only way to make the numbers work is letting 2 kids go without food. Those two kids are going to die. But if you only had to feed 5 kids, after a...

Recalde is the best pick between the major candidates this Sunday. Here's why. 1. He has the best campaign song of all the major candidates. 2. A long history of achievement. He's managed to keep Aerolineas Argentinas flying with record losses since he took over in 2009. The company loses a...

Argentina's "Strongman" champion was just murdered by a 50 year old street thug with a huge knife. Couldn't help but be reminded of this: I'm just sorry the guy didn't get a chance to crush the thief's head in like on the show. I guess it goes to show that in real life a knife and street...

Looks like Public TV (Canal 7) is going to be showing the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight this Saturday. There's no way I would pay $100 to watch this thing (like the poor souls in the US), but here in Argentina it looks like Cristina paid the bill for us and is bringing the fight to todos y todas. So...

Today I received a package at the international office of Correo Argentino in Retiro. They were turning away about 20% of the people there who had failed to fill out a new Form 4550 in AFIP, which is a new form you need to receive international shipments. However, they have a special desk there...

The government just launched a new blanqueo and is looking for dollars wherever they can find them. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now, trying to get dollars from money launderers, tax evaders, and drug dealers. I still don't think they'll have any success. Here's the idea...

This YouTube Film has been on the bitcoin mailing list for a week or two now. I went to the last bitcoin meetup here in Buenos Aires and it was exploding with more than 100 Argentines and expats. Its the new way to get around the foreign exchange controls without dealing with cuevas or shady...

My wife saw the article about price controls in La Nación today and went straight to the supermarket to start buying up all the stuff we need. I think most middle class Argentines understand that price controls = shortages. It seems we can never learn from past mistakes.

There is now a 50% gap (the highest ever) between the official dollar and the blue dollar. There is a consensus that this is caused pretty much by the fact that AFIP has refused to give any official dollars to people for tourism, even when they have been previously approved. People are going to...

It seems the peso's slide has officially stopped in September and now the peso is actually gaining against the dollar in the informal (free) market along with the blue chip swap market. The dollar hit 6.14 today. If this trend continues it'll be below 6 by the end of the month. Blue chip swaps...

Tonight there is a nationwide protest march against Cristina and the kronies in her government. We'll be marching to preserve the constitution, against Korruption, for increased security, and a whole host of other reasons. In the city of Buenos Aires we'll be gathering at Santa Fe/Callao and...

Anyone else see the President giving a presentation of the new Evita bills? What are your thoughts? This was my first thought... Do we really need Evita on a bank note? Seriously, replacing Julio Argentino Roca, a two-term President who vastly expanded Argentina's national borders and...

Hey guys, I am a big fan of Axis & Allies (and any strategy/war game) but it is not easy to find people to play with. Maybe some of you are also fans? I would like to organize a game but I need people to play with (and against). I have both the 1940 (Europe & Pacific) and the original (1942)...

Hi everyone, So, it finally happened to me. Just a a week or two after posting that I had never been been victim of a crime here, I was almost car jacked last night in the town of San Pedro in the Province of Buenos Aires. My wife and I are staying in a hotel here in San Pedro for the 3 day...

Think there is too much bureaucracy here in Argentina? You're right! I just read this article in Clarin that says there are 45 public employees per 1000 workers in each of the provinces (not counting federal gov't employees). WOW! Almost 5% of all workers here are public sector provincial...

Hi guys, I have a friend who is working on his residency but he's currently here just on a tourist visa. He is going to start making some investments and he needs to get a bank account here. Does anyone know of a local bank who will open an account for someone who only has a CDI number and a US...

Well, it turns out that the car I want to buy has no replacement parts here in Argentina. I need to buy 4 new tires for the car so I was wondering if someone who was going to Colonia could check and see if there are any tire stores there. I tried looking on Google but didn't find much. Most of...

There is no denying it... Argentina has the cutest tax inspectors. So, cuddly, and fuzzy! I want to give them a big hug!
