[QUOTE=Gato Hunter;423760]A 7 or 8 will cost 500 with no arguments AMD basic Spanish. With BBBJ[/QUOTE]500 for a foreigner or for a local as well? A majority of the chicas from BG, SI, and other websites on the local boards are 400 servicio completo. Some are 500 yes, and some I would most definitely not think twice before dropping 500 for them. If a majority of the chicas start hitting the locals for 500 then I will agree prices are going up. I don't go to Hook, Black, Madahos etc so I have no idea if all those chicas are 500 and up or not.
Just my opinion but it seems as soon as some chicas know you are not local their asking price goes up. If they can get it kudos to them.

What's interesting to me is that since May when I was there the Cambio and Xoom have switched positions on which pays the most. In May Cambio was paying 5. 50 and Xoom was at 5. 00. Now Xoom is at 5. 97 and Cambio is at 5. 70. Is this the result of government policy?

When you figure in the fees the rates are almost the same. 5.72 vs 5. 7 for $500usd.
I don't know how the locals keep up with the prices in the grocery stores. It seems like the prices change a couple of times a week.

Also they seem to rely a lot on their CC company agreements with malls and dept stores rather than buying full retail.

I have info on 5. 8 will once I personally confirm I will pass it on.

Prolly another jump coming, there was a new law forbidding tht sale of dollars for savings read it in the BA herald today.

You ain't shitting on the grocery store I have been living in with the GF and we went to disco the other night got a lot of stuff to cook with and a few kilos of lomo for the grill, it's was 550 fucking pesos!
I have not been carrying a lot of cash but I just went to cambio and had a months salary in my pocket or I would have been a pelotudo, when Mongering hard core I would usually have 3000 pesos on me as walking around money. Now it's like 200 unless I'm going to the grocery store. Jeje

I have been shut off from Xoom, they want bank statements and all sorts of shit, fuck that. It was actually MOre MT not Xoom that shut me off isn't about I sent myself about 3000$ over a 3 month period, I have heard of others having this happen also.
Holding cash is the best option I belive, if there is a probelm and you can't get money from xoomyour fucked without a backup.
I'm going to Montevideo with my GF this week and you can get dollars there from ATM I'm going to re charge the reserves if I get 2000$ out I will make almost 2000 pesos over using an Argie ATM more than enough to cover the cost of the boat and food.
Xoom is the best rate though.
Using an ATM is the worst move you loose out on about a peso per dollar or more

Buy Pesos in Monte
Banks may sell you Pesos AR at a great rate in Monte, at least they did back in January.
Completely legal too.
AR is toilet paper to them so they will deal.

Xoom
I've talked to other people who had the same problem in BsAs with Xoom. Here in Corrientes it just couldn't be easier. First time there I filled out a few sheets of paper, after that just sign for the money and go. Have you been using a bank or money store? I'm using a money store here.
