OK, someone might know this. I have Movistar and credit on my phone. How do I use some of that for data? I heard something about texting a number or something

I have a soft spot for brutalism, especially neo-brutalism, especially something like the Bocconi University in Italy: http://www.graftonarchitects.ie/work/projects/project.php?resource_id=225 I also like brutalist buildings that seem incongruously planted like the National Library surrounded by...

Next week I return for the first time in 3 1/2 years. I'm curious to see what has changed and what not.

Of course nothing has changed. The government is too busy using funds to give wasteful subsidies they should have gotten rid of and spending money on wage increases.

Looks like it is going back up!

That's not a lot of WHatsaaping, Facebook, Grindring one can do!

The public infrastructure of Buenos Aires has been so grotesquely underfunded for decades that implementing a few things would make things better. I mean SIXTY YEARS went between the opening of Line E and Line H in a city of 13 million people or 3.5 million in the federal district. That's...

Is there any companies that give you more than 10MB a day on prepay?

You are right in some ways Bradlyhale. It is not printing money per se that causes inflation because you can put that in a bank account or under your bed. It is what you *do* with the money that is a main factor for inflation. When you give people money, in the case of Cristina in the way of...

This is all good and everything to increase speed of public buses on 9 de Julio but they're still gonna get bogged down in traffic everywhere else. The article is right to point out that the best way is to build more metros.

There is no doubt that the Kirchners have tried to make Argentina a better off country. However the trajectory is unsustainable and even if all those social programmes DO help, if it is based on an unsustainable process, the whole thing is a fallacy. That is the problem. All these import...

I have friends who are avid Kirchneristas. I have been telling them the whole economic system they have built up is unsustainable to which they sneeringly retort "Well it's been nearly 10 years with them and things are going well". Semi-hyper inflation, currency restrictions, depreciating...

Well thing is 7-8 years ago it was the other way. Both the Spanish economy up to the recession was on an unsustainable path and so is Argentina now. It could very well reverse again or at the very least, things go belly-up in Argentina soon. I have come across numerous articles about...

Thanks for that. It's actually worth US$400, a crystal vase. I'll act the dumb tourist if they flag me

I still believe that if the seasonal demand drop occurs, it still won't go below 7 pesos.

It's a Waterford Crystal bowl. Hopefully it will be alright!

I know this is not exactly related to this thread but it is something similar. I am returning to Buenos Aires for a wedding and I have the wedding present. It is a 13" bowl. I am taking it as my hand luggage. Will there be any issues upon arrival? I'm coming in as a tourist.

I'm not no Chicago School disciple, far from it. But it really is common sense that price controls rarely work and especially with common goods will reduce the amount on offer and make things worse. Price controls are just stupid, silly and blunt tools. It's like trying to fix a leak in a dam by...

I HEARD a rumor about farming contracts being finished or awarded, whatever, last week thus making it shoot up. It had to go down a bit if that was the case. Similar situation happened in general forex where the Euro last week blazed the forex. Upon markets opening on Monday it dropped almost 2...

First of all, my Spanish is not great. Can someone confirm to me whether or not Killcof traveled in economy or not? To start, the whole thing is a bit unwholesome. If the anti-semitic chants are right, I will be disgusted, regardless of whatever context they were in. I would be just as much...
