Coming into the country with a pallet of tampons, a Blu jr. , guitar tuner and subversive books.

I brought some tampons in recently and thought if questioned I would explain that they were for fecal incontinence. I thought it would be unlikely that they would ask me to prove it.

And now back to your breakfast.

Thanks a lot.

A friend of mine is vacationing in Europe starting the first week in February. If anybody is coming from there could you bring some Euros to exchange for dollars here? El Jeffe told me changing dollars for Euros there results in a haircut, and you will certainly get more pesos for dollars here than you will for Euros so it could be a win / win for you both. She is looking to buy 200 dollars worth of Euros. This is a very good friend of mine and I personally vouch for the honestly of the deal and the truthiness of her dollars.

They are back to 89 bucks, fastest sale on record. At 90 DR isn't interested because that's almost money.

Same phone on ebay is still around 50 dollars still worthit to me if anyone can.

Thanks.

Will be in town the 15th and 16th. Quick stop before heading north. Been too long. Wish I had more time.

First, Argentina has a 100% import tariff on imported electronic goods that effectively doubles the wholesale cost of every item, this tariff being justified as necessary to protect Argentina's domestic electronic manufacturing industry

I nearly spit my coffee onto my computer screen.

, which in fact doesn't exist.

Sad but, true.

You also have to look at the import duties on the gear that enables wireless services. I think cell equipment infrastructure gets hit with about a 27% tariff. So that 4 G cell tower, that costs US $100 K (all in, excluding labor) to construct in the US costs at least $127 K in Argentina. Subscribers pay less per month in Argentina than they do in the US and carriers so, it takes much longer for the Argie carriers to make back their investment (I. E. The investment costs more and the returns are smaller). Carriers need to make money in order to stay in business (ergo, lagging infrastructure upgrades).

Will bring some next trip.Can I pay them with candy?

Cool, thanks, I'll get you laid. With the exchange rate, two 16 oz jars of peanut butter is almost the price of a half hour session. Maybe at a truck stop it might be more.
