I agree. However, I think it's important to know that many free liberal democracies, including the US (as mentioned above), do have laws on the books to regulate media concentration. Cristina is pretending to try and join this club in the name of free speech, while in essence she's trying to...

First, as I stated, I agree that Cristina's ley de medios has nothing to do with what happens in the US and I agree that it is a bad joke. You don't have to convince me of that - I have been convinced for a long time. Second, I respect your dislike of the FCC but my post is about facts, not...

While I certainly do not support Cristina's bastardized version of it, the US DOES have its, in my eyes reasonable, "ley de medios". Not sure you have to go to elementary school again but you're welcome to learn more at http://www.fcc.gov/guides/review-broadcast-ownership-rules : "The Federal...

As far as I understand, you could still go to a foreign travel agent (could be to an online agency like Orbitz, etc. without getting out of your seat), pay with the Argie CC, no need for cash, and pay the official rate + 20% regardless of origin or destination of your travels. Am I wrong?

Please help me understand this: Are you saying that an Argie credit card holder will not be able to buy an airline ticket (not originating from Arg) with his credit card on, say, Orbitz? How can they deny that technically while allowing the Argie, who happens to be overseas, from buying other...

Not sure about a cheap one way ticket to the States but you can go into practically any travel agency and pay in pesos cash. I have done that many times. Even the online agencies, like Despegar, allow you to pay cash - they hold the reservation for 24 hours in which time you go to the bank and...

Yes, ZK is code of the AFIP 20% retention. You can see that USD 59.90 is 20% of USD 299.50

Been to http://www.hotelbond.com.ar near Pilar recently - recommended: clean, modern, stylish, discreet, not kitch. Took the "Duplex Plus" option.

Despegar.com.ar is back online selling int'l airline tickets with the new AFIP fee. Can someone help me figure this out? For example: Let's choose Iberia flights EZE-MAD, return Apr 1st, IB 6846 Apr 15th, IB 6845 The price on int'l tarvel sites is about USD 1,411. The price on Iberia.com is...

You can find basic stuff easily, but if you go out of the mainstream by one inch you're in trouble. You can find lots of more sophisticated stuff in the barrio chino. You can look up discovirtual.com.ar and see what a regular supermarket offers.

Folks, If receiving cash, More MT on Libertad is the only real option? Xoom's web site also mentions Banco Frances branches. Is that not a viable option? Too much hassle (cola, etc.)? I have a Banco Frances a block away and it is more convenient than schlepping to Libertad. Thanks in advance.

Well, good news - I got the goods eventually. :)

I want to buy stationary. I go to www.staples.com.ar. I choose the products I want to buy. I go to check out. Total is $80 and shipping is $48, although it says on the same page that shipping in the city of Buenos Aires is free. I discard the cart. I receive an email from a rep at Staples who...

Just to clarify - I am just an intermediary, helping out. My personal status is immaterial. Thanks for asking though!

A hot Security Software startup out of Buenos Aires is looking for native English speakers for lead generation and qualification. Responsibilities involve calling information security professionals and qualifying whether the company's solutions meet their needs. Additional sales and...

I can recommend Costa do Santinho in Florianopolis. Not a mega resort but plenty of activities and a calm beach in a little bay. We may be going again this summer. Feel free to ask me private questions if you need more specific info.

For those interested in what I actually did: I took callderekm's advice and bought tix on Seacat 10 days in advance. The boat is a Buquebus boat leaving from the Buquebus terminal to Colonia for only $70 each way. Crossing the river is just 1 hour. I stuck around for a couple of hours in...

just thought i'd pass it along go to check out and where it says Ingresá Código de Promoción put DISCO15DTO

I am about to end my allowed 90 day stay in Argentina as a tourist, and I would like 90 days more. A quick research resulted in these options: 1. Go to Migraciones and pay $300 pesos. http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesibleingles/?categorias 2. Go to Colonia for the day with Colonia express...
