    Non-Usd Currencies

    So, I'm up in Canada and I'll be going back to BsAs tomorrow. Can any of you let me know if I can get the blue rate on Canadian and Australian dollars? Can I go to any exchange house? I only ask because I don't really feel like going to get USD right now.

    Anyone Need A Painter?

    I had to sign in for the first time in a while to post on this. What is wrong with giving a 16 year old kid 200 pesos? 22 dollars, today. He's clearly doing a good job. What's wrong with giving someone a little more than the going rate for a job well done...especially the son of a cleaning lady...

    Argentine Stock

    @Inferno. Thanks for the detailed insight, brother. I had no idea that the same stocks varied market to market with regard to price. I was under the impression that the market was an internationally streamlined machine. I am truly naive when it comes to things like this.

    How Safe Is Buying Blue Dollars On Florida Street?

    So, I'll be coming back to Argentina for a little while. The last time I was there I was selling my dollars to the Chinos for $470 pesos in exchange for every $100. The peso was at like $4.20 something to the dollar back then. I now hare that I can get a lot more money for my dollars. So, I'd...

    1st day here

    The cab ride from EZE to San Telmo was reminiscent of the scenery of the Bronx Expressway back home..call it beautiful decay or what could have been. I got a pretty nice loft and it's right on top of Indie Bar so I'm going to check that out tonight. I'll have a NY Giants snap back hat if you...
