with a bit more time I can find out who has broadband, etc, yet I am sure most of them do :) if ya need anything hit me up on icq 124 68 229

Cuanto vale (en Dolares) una casa de dos pisos con tres cuartos en las afuera de Buenos Aires o en una buena seccion de la ciudad? o un apartamentamento en una zona decente en la ciudad de Buenos Aires?

Con 3000 dolares al mes, depende cuantas personas, yo te diria que hasta 3 personas viven muy bien con seguro privado de salud, un buen departamento con banda ancha, etc, si eres tu solo, vives como un rey! Los argentinos tenemos fama de pedantes, aunque en realidad nos encanta tener visitantes y extranjeros, de hecho somo un pais de inmigrantes, la Consitucion dice " para todos los habitantes del mundo que quieran habitar suelo argentino "

heheh know, but it is not such a big taboo either

Para tener una idea poedes ver aca http://clasificados.lanacion.com.ar/...origen=cabezal
si es tu primera vez en el pais y decides vivir fuera de Capital Federal, lo mejor es zona norte o algun barrio privado. Las casa en la ciudad son bastante costosas. Un buen depto de 3 dormitorios cuesta entre 65k - 95k

To be honest nobody was surprised about it, neither offended, since he had some kind of involvement with non democratic governments...

Thank you. :thumbsup

you ' re welcome :)

what is forte apache?

That would be in Portugal.

it is the given name to a neighbourhood in Ciudadela - way out of the city -.... very dangerous....if you are ever close to Fuerte Apache go there with aluminium undies the least LOL

Question, what is the going dollar rate there today? Here in Brazil is sucking big time latelly.

prices are not bad

you mean the dollar is high or that it is getting low? here the central bank is operating everyday to keep it at about 1 dollar=3 pesos, but generally is is at 2.94 or so.

Its a 3rd world country! Seems to me they shouldnt be charging in dollars! :2 cents:

For anybody living in the US or Europe, you will find it is very cheap. My husband says that we would need 3 times more money to keep our lifestyle in the US.
for instance, broadband access is 20 us$ monthly, a meal at mcdonalds is 2 us$, a pack of Marlboro is 0.75us$, the rent of a 3 bedroom apartment in on of the best neighbourhoods is 600us monthly.

they don't charge in dollars, I post it in dollars because most people know how much a dollar is worth :P Actually it is forbidden by law to display prices in dollars!

what happened to all the black people and the native indians?

It was going down quickly, but I'm hoping economists are correct and it will go up again by the end of this year.

We had the lowest rate since 2002 last week. Right now is at U$1 = R$2.41 (generally around R$2.90)

Just out of curiosity: R$1 = 1.19 Argentina Pesos

Is that the neighbourhood that is over the bridge from the La Boca neighbourhood? When I was there someone told me not to go over there because it was quite dangerous

As in many american countries, the spanish exterminated and exploted natives during their colonization, regarding black people there were never a big number in Argentina, most black people were and are in Brazil and Uruguay.
nik

nope, the one you mention in La Boca is another one, a lot smaller and not so dangerous.

Basically the dollar goes down when the country exports a lot, I am sure Lula will correct it somehow, since it affects internal commerce. 1 peso= 1,19 real? Does that mean that we are cheap for brazilians?

Alright, I was there about a year and a half ago, and thought it was strange how few black people were there comapared with Uruguay that I had been in previously. Have heard a few different versions of the reason why :)

I don't think Argentina is a 3rd world country. It ranks #34 out of 177 countries on the UN Human Development Index

Probably there are more black people since Brazil was a Portugese colony and Portugal is closer to Africa?

Yeah, I agree, I was in Buenos Aires for a month, then went to Brazil for a month, and had to fly out of Buenos Aires, when I came back there I truly appreciated how civilized the city was.
And the people are really great, very polite and hospitable :)

I also loved Brazil, but it was very different, I couldn't live there, but will deffinately visit a few more times

Why is there so much violence and corruption in Argentina while at the same time Chile(right next door) is safe and corruption doesnt exist?

Dude Argentina has children dying of hunger!!

You should really travel a little more. Argentina was just recently compared to Nigeria in standards of living.

Yes, Brazilian exporters are going nuts... but all Lula said to them so far is basically GFY. According to him, exporters should get their stuff together and start to work around the problem and stop being cry babies! lol Which I agree in part, but small exporters are the ones getting screwed by this.

About the currencies, I think for us it doesn't really mean anything. Can't say the same about export/import players.

Think that Argentina is a relatively small country with a big territory, the population is 35 million ppl, Brazill is a lot bigger in extension and population and the culture is different. Argentina is a rar mix of Europe and America, with its good and bad of course. I have never been to Brazil but I would like to visit sometime. Regarding ppl's income we have rich , middle class and poor people, but the majority of centrall american and south american countries, don't have a middle class, that is why it becomes a bit extreme at times, rich or poor, there is a big gap there.

In greater Buenos Aires people dont have running water or electricity!

Who told you that?

This is true, especially in the north of the country, some provinces are poor, personally I cannot understand how a country with so many natural resources, especially food, can have this problem? It is very sad.

What? I can compare apples and oranges if you want, doesn't make them any more the same.
I have been to 3rd world countries and I can tell you that Argentina is not one of them. Sure they have a lot of poverty, but still less than most countires in S-America. It was quite disturbing to see a lot of people digging through the rubbish at night, I admit, but I still wouldn't call it a 3rd world country.

Wrong, in greater Buenos Aires people have electricity and running water. In some norhtern provinces they don't though. The precary neighbourhoods, or " villas " don't have electricity or running water, yet they make clanderstine connections, " villas " are an equivalent to " favelas" in Brazil.

It's true, after Pinochet Chile has become the most developed country in Latin America.

The police wont accept bribes!

The problem is when people have to dig in the rubbish and there is nothing to get, that is the difference, not that I think it is right, but in some countries you can really starve.

Changing subjects a bit, another question..

I'm not a soccer fan but is it true all the drama they make about Pelé and Maradona, do people hate Brazilians there? Not sure if you heard about the soccer game where a player from Argentina called a Brazilian player "Macaquito" which I believe stands for hahahahahaha or monkey.

How did Argentina people react to this?

Chile had military governments for a longer time, and somehow they purged and scared society to the bones, so they are usually very quiet.
