    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Stainless steel cookware - the pots in Argentina are very low quality and pricey at that. If you do cook at home the heavy bottom ones are a must - especially if you already have them. You can's stock up on Saran and aluminum wraps forever, nor are those as indispensable as good pots, and the...

    Aerolineas mucho $$$

    AC to YYZ is a $1000 Can right now with a short stopover in Sao Paolo, exchange rate is $1US=$1.35 Can, which makes it roughly $740 US.

It's not a blue dollar, it's some other special denomination that was created for airline tickets around the time qatar and coldplay were introduced. It's loaded with some extra fees on top of being double the official rate. But...
