    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    That was the kind of thing I was worried about. My friend made the reservation on his account with Emirates and sent me his login info. I logged in as him and paid using my card, so that would be his local address as passenger and my US address as billing. I called Emirates and Capital One...

    2 tourists shot outside Faena Hotel P. Madero

    A bad idea. An item in the footwell can move unexpectedly and get lodged under the brake pedal.

    Western Union money transfer

    Excellent tip. I went with a friend this morning and he changed USD at 285. I took about 3 minutes. I have been walking past this place for months wondering why would anyone exchange at the offical rate they post outside. Now I get it.

    Do we need a roundtrip ticket on a Tourist Visa?

    This is easy to deal with if only for peace of mind. You can buy an onward flight on miles that you cancel later. You could buy a fully refundable ticket you cancel later. There are services that will purchase you a real ticket for a $7 to $10 fee which they will then cancel. Depending on the...

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    So much good coffee if you buy from a small place that knows what they are doing. My two favorite places are Lattente and Buga. I think they both sell beans.

    Any change on entrance requirements to argentina?

    I entered Argentina a week ago. The airline required me to fill out the declaration. I had proof of health insurance. No one checked. I did not get a passport stamp, but later an email saying I can stay 90 days.

    Is Argentina's beef the best in the world? (with Richard Quest again)

    In general the beef is band and tasteless, like most of the food here. Portions are huge and inexpensive.

    Having a surprisingly hard time selling an iPhone in CABA

    You should not feel stupid. I also travel here with 2 iPhones, but I give one away as a gift to a local girlfriend. You might try that. There would be no shortage of demand. I asked a local woman about selling a phone and she said a 13pro would attract the wrong kind of attention. Better to try...
