    Paying For Busquebus Ticket In Pesos?

    When you choose to pay with Rapipago, you haven't actually bought the ticket until you've paid. So they hold the ticket for you until you make the payment. So that's what I mean... It's pretty much the same thing.

    Paying For Busquebus Ticket In Pesos?

    Are you a resident? If you are a legal resident, you can pay with cash in pesos or with an Argentine credit card (you will be charged the 35% international travel tax but not the 35% paying in dollars tax). I just bought a ticket by reserving it online and paying in cash at a rapipago location...

    Booking Trip On Seacat

    It's often cheaper to pay in their office, depending on what rates are left online. There are 4 normal fees: Web, Eco, Flex,and Full. The Web fee is often the cheapest and only available online, but it does run out early as only a certain number of these fares are available per boat. In the...

    Booking Trip On Seacat

    I take Seacat all the time to Montevideo. The prices on their website already include the 35% tax for travelling, so need to add anything extra. If you are a resident, you can pay: 1. Online with an Argentine credit card (not debit) and in pesos, so no 35% foreign transaction charge 2. In the...

    Almost all Spanish schools here publish their prices in dollars, because they would have to change the prices continually if not... However, any legitimate Spanish school will accept payments in pesos for students who are already in Argentina, and they should accept them at the official rate if...

    Work Visa Question

    You need a contract with you company, which you will sign there in front of the immigrations official. I am assuming that if you have a lawyer handling the process, they will bring the contract with them. Maybe you can ask him about this.

    2 Uruguay Peso Questions

    You can change AR pesos to UY pesos, but the exchange rate will not make that transaction worthwhile. Uruguay is very aware of the Argentine peso situation and they are not under any obligation to use the "official" exchange rate. You can see the rates here: http://www.gales.com.uy/home/

I think tomorrow night is the last night, but it is definitely worth checking out. It's very funny! And only 80...

    Argentina Safety Versus Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica

    Intentional homicide is not the only crime that makes people feel unsafe. Many homicides that you read about in the newspapers in Argentina, fore example, are the result of a robbery or attempted robbery. That, to me, is even scarier than an intentional homicide. The fact that I could be in a...

    Where To Find Jícama? Aka Mexican Turnip; Or Any Turnip

    They had regular turnips (nabos) in my autoservicio de frutas y verduras in Nuñez (Cabildo between Congreso and Quesada). It seems like this would be the season for turnips, so I would imagine any decently-sized verduleria might have them. I would just ask around at the verduleria near your...
