Here's an interesting article from the Miami Herald on the Argentine economy that helps explain why things have gotten the why that they have: [url]http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/06/16/2851968/argentinas-economic-fiesta-is.html[/url]

The Miami Herald article posted indicated the true inflation rate is 25% and I can attest to that it is at least that much if not more.

On this trip I had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and was shocked to see the bill at the end of the meal. The increase since January was at least 25% and the same is true for many purchases you make here.

Xoom is doing 6. 02 Pesos per dollar.

I read today in regard to Sicily's economy,"if I steal a little, I go to jail, if I steal a big amount, I advance my career".

It was not too long ago when you encounter very well educated taxi drivers in countries like Peru or Singapore. Will we see that soon in Argentina?

Next question, where will the Argentinians go? Spain & Italy are in economic turmoil, their normal escape routes will now be close. Maybe, your voluptous apartment manager might pull her panties down now?

We expect an increase in the number of workers in these "professions" when the new crisis begins. Argie boys probably will try their luck in other countries as a) Soccer players b) Trannies. Any other ideas fellows?

Just arrived back in BA yesterday. Been hearing bad stuff like Cristina won't allow locals to buy $USD and last year she made imports much more difficult.

I spoke to a Venezuelan friend in Miami who said thats how Chavez started.

I fear Dec 2001 will be coming back to BA soon. Crime is already on the rise. I hear the Rolex store INSIDE THE ALVEAR PALACE HOTEL was knocked off by armed gunman, Crap.

Fuck, for ME it is wonderful! The pussy is going down in price by the day, more and more girls come to the market, locals can't afford any, we are talking my wet dream! And that is before we start talking about things like buying property and taking "stuff" into the country.

Me I say let's PRAY we soon can party like it is 2002! If I am lucky the crime will evan get so bad it scare away a few of the other mongers that comes down here!

(AND remember, I did not vote for Christina and have no say in politic in this place so I have ZERO guilt. The majority of natives that support this insane politic in elections can take all that blame!)

This has been successful for me. When I'm out an about during the day and have no real business to do I try and dress like a criminal. No jewlery, older jeans, sneakers, t-shirt, and a hoodie. Criminals don't usually rob other criminals. Lucky for me I used to be one so it's not hard for me to pull off.

And if you are a prey don't go where the predators hunt!

(I dress TO stand out, BUT I do not walk a fucking block it this town when I am drunk and it is dark, or any big city in the word).

Personally I find the whole crime thing in BA overrated, sure I know several people that has been mugged, and going to the wrong place will get you killed for 50p.

BUT if you stay in a nice area, go in cabs after dark and never go to a place you do not know by yourself at night you will be fine. Showing of expensive watches and jewelry will make you a target in any poor country.

Walking looking like a typical clueless tourist will get you robbed in daylight on Florida street, but it will also get you robbed in Paris! Me I find BA 10 times more safe than say London and in some places in the US people will fucking kill you for a pair of sneekers!

And like you say blending in and being the "gray man" is never unwise, unless you want to impress girls that is, jeje.

Stranger[/QUOTE]Between you, me and the fencepost, the pussy is cheaper here than in pretty much every country I have been to recently. Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, UAE, Canada. I'm trying to stay away from the high peso pussy though. I'm freakin LOVIN it here! 400 pesos for a nice looking chica, servicio completo, and she makes me feel like studly hung well? lol. How can you beat that?

The local mongers don't seem to have any problem affording the pussy. There is always a shitload of posts every day. They set the prices except for chicas that deal mostly with tourists. Us AP mongers are a drop in the chicas pussy in comparison. If the chicas up the prices and the locals pay it, then we have a problem! LOL not really.

We ended up in las cantinas, that was also the night you bit your tongue

When I put my arm out to stop you from ending up flying over a taxi. Like I said another night you could have made a movie from

Ukraine is way over priced compared to 5 years ago. Prague is now the Las Vegas of Europe, so you pay Las Vegas prices. China is still a bargain. Hong Kong is even better with an 8 to 1 exchange rate. Especially if you like petite spinners. There are thousands of 9's available. Now that the economy is improved in China, many girls need that designer hand bag / designer cosmetics to keep up with the Jones. They take a 3 week "vacation" from Mainland China to Hong Kong or Macau (because it's easier for them to get the short term visa). They need a visa to leave mainland China even though Hong Kong and Macau are part of China. They work the apartment scene for the 3 weeks, coming home with more money than they make in their job in an entire year! Nobody in their home town is the wiser. If BA goes higher than 8 to 1 exchange rate they win the bargain destination award. Mountaineer.
