I have high hopes for this thread. I really like living here and one of the most amusing, yet frustrating parts, is the inability of most Argentinos to accept responsibility for anything. I think it's genetic.
Anyway today I was standing at the corner in front of a kiosko waiting to cross the street. I was standing behind a parked car when suddenly this guy just started backing up obviously without looking and touched me with his car on my leg. I say touched because he barely hit me, I yelled HEY and he stopped. I figured it was over but the guy got out of his car and started yelling at ME! He started yelling at me for standing in the street, when I wasn't, the fuck backed up into the little handicapped ramp I was standing on.
Thankfully I was dressed in my customary street criminal garb and was holding a cup of coffee, so I yelled back callate boludo, vete! And threw my coffee at him. He got in the car and left. I bought another coffee and it was over.
Hoping to hear funnyish stories here but rants are permitted as well.
the inability of most Argentinos to accept responsibility for anything. I think it's genetic.Probably not genetic, but definitely cultural. The refusal to accept responsibility and "the end justifies the means" are basic tenets of life here!

In either Italy and Spain they behave differently and that's probably because they have law enforcement and laws to protect pedestrians.
I would say it's not genetic since even the monkeys when well educated are capable to follow a couple of rules and behave as persons while driving.

I once pulled an Argie up out of his chair by his fucking hair and he still wouldn't fight. But the weirdest and possibly most Argie thing that ever happened to me was this. I went to the gym and unusually I had to go somewhere right after. So, I was on the subte with my backpack with my gym clothes in it. In one of the smaller zippered pockets I had my lock. As usual I was wary of pickpockets while on the subte. When I got home the lock was gone and had been replaced with a little plastic figurine of a guy in a black and white striped jail outfit. The only other thing I ever had stolen was when Capt Dave's nutjob ho of a "girlfriend" stole my cheap wristwatch because it was shiny.

True, they won't fight, but they will call the police and a lawyer. A mate of mine got into a silly scuffle during a friendly football match, pushed his opposite number to the ground and found himself arrested at the end of the game because the victim had called the police rather than just take it on the chin.
They are all talk and will not fight.

When I was a kid, growing up (some will say that never happened) , when you and your opponent reached the futbol (soccer ball) at the same time it meant:
1) you yield and politely let him have the ball,
2) you sort of try to stick your foot or ass in his direction, hoping to gain possession, or.
3) you nuke anything within 5 yards and if you got called, so what, the ref is a f*ing moron.
That said, as I have matured (all things are relative) , I have been forced to be more gentile, given that my

Looks like I'll have to ask a European client coming in to bring the plugs, or go locally to a company I know but pay through the nose.
These import restrictions are so crazy, especially when the restricted item is not available locally.

Hi Fred-
I checked out your spark plugs on EBAY. Their are many sellers. Price is 46 British Pounds (approx $75 USD). They ship to anywhere in Europe, Canada, Asia or Australia. You don't need to limit yourself to European mongers. There are many Canadians on this board. Ask Sunseeker who else is coming down. I'm coming from NY City late November). If you are stuck and any Canadian can UPS them to me in the states, I will be glad to bring them. You can PM me for my address. I just cannot buy them for you in the USA.

Asian Mini Markets charging. 25 centavos per drink if it is cold or refrigerated.
Hot Beer $8. 00 pesos.
Cold Beer $8. 25 pesos.
"Frio" Charge.
It makes sense and cents but I've never seen that before in my life.
Also, and this goes for ALL of the Supermarkets that I have ever been in :
NO FUCKING SACKERS!
Creating huge lines of people wanting to pay and get the fuck out of there!
The cashier bags your groceries after she rings them up!

TL.It does not make sense because the fuller a refrigerator is, the LESS energy it consumes (up to a point; eventually you block air circulation). I would think a super chef would know that little detail. What annoyed (past tense) me the most about that particular little trampa is that hardly any of those chinos kept their coolers turned up high enough to even really make the beer cold. And then there is the sour draft beer everywhere. I gave up on drinking draft beer except at Bueller's.

The government has installed detectors in certain markets that detect temp changes and the inspectors will confiscate and destroy all of the food involved.
But still, there thinking is that the. 25 centavos per drink surcharge helps pay the electric bill.

When I was living in México in 2003, in the state of Jalisco at least, the deal was that boys (only) between 12 and 14 work as baggers for tips only. They have to maintain good grades to do this. For those who don't know, public education stops at age 14 in México (or at least in Jaliso). Fucken Argie kids are much too lazy to do anything like that.

Argies don't tip!

I dunno. They tip the 'volunteer' porters on the intercity buses. I would say 75% give something. It's not like Méxicans are lavish tippers or anything either. BTW here in the US the self checkout is the only way to go. That'll never happen in Argentina because of trust issues and unions.

My objection here is that they work sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking slow to begin with then want me to bag my own shit.
They have the concepts of 'zafar' and 'fiaca' down to a fine science. 'Me agarró fiaca' is one phrase I hope to never hear again in my life.

With it I can save most of my monedas for stuff that I need.
With the SUBE card the government tracks all your movements. No mother fucking way in god damn hell would I use it, even if I had to steal monedas from the cartoneros. BTW any cartonero will be happy to give you 1, 75 of coins for a 2 peso note. The cards for the subte are fine because they aren't linked to a name.

For paranoiacs such as yourself you could just get off a stop early and then use monedas for the trip back. That would fuck with the mind police.

That would fuck with the mind police.Or you and I could swap cards every so often to throw them off the trail. But on and off is still too much info for me. Fuck them. It is easy enough to maintain monedas if you consistently and doggedly deny having them just like the stores do. I did get very sick of the charade, though. That line in Retiro to get monedas is a good example of a "weird Argie thing."
Like suppose Roxana's husband decides I am fucking his wife and he bribes an official and finds out what time I get off the train in Villa Rosa, then takes the day off work so he can catch me. I could come up with lots more scenarios but I am not comfortable in general with the (ever-increasing) degree of technology's ability to spy on us so no smart phone, face book, SUBE card, etc. For this particular private citizen.
Kinda weird and kind of expected. The overall consistent but random outages from your local kiosco of being unable to process cell credit recharging.
Only place I've ever found never had their system down is this large kiosco / photocopy / rapipago place in recoleta on Quintana next to cambio currency place.
Other than that, at small kioscos it seems a given that you'll walk up one day and be fine, next day unable to recharge

If they have to prepay, you'd think they'd know that and when their ability to recharge cuts out just tell people they can't recharge. What I get as the weird xp is the kiosco person, in my case a very nice lady who owns the place, tried and kept trying like 4-5 times
Is that another weird Argie thing? That they'd rather go through the motions to make you think they are trying rather than just say we're cut off, can't recharge soon as you walk up and ask?

Anyway, a venture capitalist is anyone who invests in floundering firms in the hopes that they will turn around. It's not illegal.You're thinking of private equity firms, like Baine or Cerberus Capital. Equity firms, or very wealthy single individuals acting as an equity partner, usually invest in underachieving, floundering, or completely ok but assumed to have strong potential companies. Both private or public.
Venture capitalists by definition invest capital only in pre-IPO, private companies, usually startups in idea, angel, or first to later rounds of investment. It can be floundering but usually it is a startup that has cash flow needs and and an as yet to be proven business model vs a mature but in distress company

Fragata Sarmiento it's a symbolic ship for Argentina. It's some times seen at Puerto Madero.
I've been there by the way (as a visitor)
A private investor made possible to kidnap the ship in Ghana (African Country) in the midst of the Fragata Sarmiento world trip, so they can not leave the port.
Did spelling checker changed FUND to found?
I think it's important for you friends as a fact to understanding how a real third world country is, Argentina do not have the power to recover the ship.
The ship itself has little value, but represents a symbol of sovereign and national emblem as quoted from wikipedia he ship was originally built for the Argentine naval academy. The ARA Presidente Sarmiento made thirty seven annual training cruises including six circumnavigations of the globe. The ship was retired as a seagoing vessel in 1938, but continued to serve as a stationary training ship until 1961. She is now maintained in her original 1898 appearance as a museum ship near the center of Buenos Aires. This ship was named for Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, the seventh President of Argentina.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragata_Sarmiento
It does not really matters if the claims are legit, moral or not. A 1st world country would recover the ship at any price. It's a matter of national pride.
Weird Argie things includes things like these: chauvinism in one hand, but, demonstrating they do not have a real power to lead with a private investors group.
I don't know the real value of the Fragata Sarmiento, but I can tell it's little compared with the debt the FUND are claiming.

The Lack of Coins :
What a pain in the ass if you live here, even when you visit; the lack of "Change" in general. Large restaurants, clothing stores, etc, etc that do not have change to break a hundred pesos but the biggest joke is the lack of coins at the Kioscos. The rumor is that people are melting down the quarters because the metal in a quarter is worth about a peso.
That's funny and weird!

TLI personally never had a problem with it. In fact I always find myself with a surplus of coins to spend. Maybe they should just fix the real value of the peso then everything should fall into its rightful place.
On another note, how come almost 90% of the working girls have artificial chest? I find it hard to find naturals. Is there a trend going on with this or is it just cheap to get them? By the way, their surgery aren't really that perfectly done with very noticeable scar marks. Some thought on this?
I don't believe the metal is worth more than the face value and doubt the melt down theory. It is extortionate behavior by the transit companies to force the government to buy back coins at a premium. Argies are too lazy to melt coins. The 10 centavo coin is brass-plated steel. The 25 centavo and 50 centavo coins, the newer ones, are 5. 4 and and 5. 8 grains, respectively, of aluminum / bronze but I don't know in what mix. The older 25s that are silverish are copper nickel mix and 6. 1 grains.
http://en.numista.com/catalogue/argentine-3.html#devise145.
So now let's look at metals prices.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/13/markets-metals-idUSL5E8MD5K220121113
Copper: $7, 680 a metric ton. So $7. 68 a kilo; 15,432 grains in a kilo. $0. 003 US for 6. 1 grains or about 1. 86 centavos using the blue market rate, if it was pure copper. Which it isn't. So that dog won't hunt.
Nickel: $16, 050 a metric ton. Almost 4 centavos (3. 87) if you melt down 25 centavos. So that dog won't hunt.
Aluminum: got to be cheaper than copper or nickel. Let's see. $1, 985. No.
Bronze: Is itself an alloy. 88% copper and 12% tin. So what does tin sell for? Less than copper for sure. So that dog won't hunt. But we had better check.
Tin: Huh. $20, 375 a ton. That makes no sense. But anyway it is still only 5 centavos or so to melt down a 25 centavo coin.
So rule out the melt down theory. Honestly I am not sure if those are metric tons or US tons on the website but either way it would not be anywhere close to profitable.
I personally never had a problem with it. In fact I always find myself with a surplus of coins to spend. Maybe they should just fix the real value of the peso then everything should fall into its rightful place.
On another note, how come almost 90% of the working girls have artificial chest? I find it hard to find naturals. Is there a trend going on with this or is it just cheap to get them? By the way, their surgery aren't really that perfectly done with very noticeable scar marks. Some thought on this?Fake tits is a world wide trend, and Argie-made fake tits are of low quality just like the vast majority of their products, and fake tits suck. Those are my thoughts on that.

By the way, their surgery aren't really that perfectly done with very noticeable scar marks. Some thought on this?A while back Argentina became the Capital of the World for Plastic Surgery, nose jobs, tit jobs, etc; low cost and decent results in general. Last year's tally was 100, 000 boob jobs I think. Now I don't know if that was 100, 000 new tits or 50, 000 times 2, or the occasional 1 tit tune-up? But yes, this is an artificially enhanced society without a doubt! The typical Italian, Spanish or Jewish girl with the big nose gets a nose job for her 16th birthday and a tit job when she turns 21. This usually applies to the mid to upper mid to high level girls but a lot of lower income and normal girls aspire to get a tit job.
Men love tits! I being an ASSMAN with Legs have zero interest in large, useless tits myself. You can titty fuck a girl with big tits but can you actually cum? I can't, I need that tight little Starfish streached around "Big Tex" or a well blown Trombone! Symphony Style!

This one is extra special!
I notice that now with the SUBE card there are a lot more coins available (at least out here in the boondocks). But for shore there is still a shortage. I think that most kioskos like the shortage as they get to increase thier sales (by a very small margin) by giving caramellows or other candies for change.

Simple reason why is economics. They get more calls, visits and earnings. May not be your cup of tea but in general more men notice and select working gals with larger bust lines than smaller.
Trend worldwide is overall significantly up in last decade. It's also a cash and carry business thank god. Cheap is a relative statement given disparity of local income vs the states but yes, relatively speaking aesthetic surgery is cheaper in Argentina, and in gross terms far cheaper. Although quality as you note is not that good.
However, don't mistake "perfectly done" quality vs method quality. Any cheaper method technique such as inframamary or periareolar which are by far the most common methods here in Argentina due to both lack of qualified surgeons and economic limitations of the average chica base - incisions under breast fold and nipple respectively -even when perfectly done are by method definition leaving visible scars. Less so via periareolar but still a visible scar if looked for.
I would agree overall the surgical talent here is significantly lower than the states, and far less rigor who actually can call themselves and perform aesthetic / plastic surgery, but a lot of the butcher work I see is mainly due to economic choice of the chica and an insane desire by the Argie government to dictate what brands and materials are used in the local market.
I have seen some fine quality work, although transaxillary (via armpit) is very rare here, and yet to see or hear of one TUBA qualified surgeon (via navel)
And as final nod to chicas bringing quality issues on themselves is the number who disregard medical advice and return to work, stripping, active working girl routine far too early during the recuperative process. Scarring and internal capsular contracture is magnified with this behavior and that's not the blame of the local surgeon but the haste of the working girls

The Lack of Coins :
What a pain in the ass if you live here, even when you visit; the lack of "Change" in general. Large restaurants, clothing stores, etc, etc that do not have change to break a hundred pesos but the biggest joke is the lack of coins at the Kioscos. The rumor is that people are melting down the quarters because the metal in a quarter is worth about a peso.
That's funny and weird!
Anybody know the truth?
Aqualung? Dickhead?
The "Sube" card was supposed to solve the coin shortage but it has'nt helped much.
TLIt's an urban legend. First time I heard it was in the late 60's. Another variant is that the coins are being shipped by the truckload to Brazil to be used as washers.
I haven't noticed any lack of coins but I never use them anyway.
I haven't noticed any lack of coins but I never use them anyway.It's not just lack of coins though, it's lack of _change_. Taxi drivers and kioscos never have any bloody change. I don't think it's got anything to do with a shortage of notes though, it's a shortage of frickin brain cells. You're a business that relies on many customers spending small amounts of money. Keep a decent float FFS!

Keep a decent float FFS!I understand Taxi drivers not having a lot of change because they get robbed. I also understand and accept little mom and pop kioscos not being able to break lots of Rocas because they don't do a lot of volume. For them I reach into the right pocket. International (especially US) companies. McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway, along with Carre Four, Jumbo, and the like MUST HAVE CHANGE. For them I go into the left pocket. Why right and left pockets you may ask? Well colegios it breaks down like this. In my right I keep all 50's and below, this is my own change bank. In my left I keep all 100's along with one 5 and one 2. That way when the ask me "mas chico tenes?" I can say no. If they make an issue of it, I can pull the left pocket and show them.
Moneda rule is the same except for local kioskos. I no longer accept caramelos as change, but at the two on my street I work on the honor system. If I don't have the monedas I either let them keep it until the next time, or now, having dealt with me for awhile, they will let me slide until the next time.
At fucking McDonalds I don't care if I have 50 pounds of monedas in my pocket. I don't care if they can see that I have 50 pounds of monedas in my pocket. They have to take the bill I give them and shut up and give me change. In 2009 Ad Age said their worldwide sales were 30 billion, they just have to have change. It's one of my rules. This also applies to Burger King and those big ass kioskos on big streets that do tons of volume.

I prefer the transaxillary or the TUBA procedures if it really must be done, I have seen excellent results here in BA. The Butcher Jobs that I have seen when they slice the girls under the breast are horrible. At least 3 to 4 women a year die in Argentina during basic plastic surgery operations, boob jobs, nose jobs, etc. A former Miss Argentina died last year while having her butt lifted and she did not even need it! She was beautiful.
My mistake on Argentina being number 1 in the world, the problem is that I believe EVERYTHING that I see on the news!
TL
90% may be a bit of an exaggeration but the number is still quite high and not only amongst working girls but also amongst the general population. I hate plastic tits and never miss a chance to tell them that and not one of them could give a shit. That is because women (in general and working girls included) don't do themselves up for the guys. They don't dress for the guys. They don't go to the hairdressers for the guys. They don't buy shoes for the guys. They do it for the other women!
Go to any party and ask a guy later what so and so was wearing and most won't have a clue. The wives will remember every single detail.
Women are bitches to one and other. How often you have made a deal with a chica where she begs you not tell tell any of the other girls. The whole pricing system boils down to that. Most of the time it's not what a girl thinks she is worth but what she has heard another one gets and to accept less would be acknowledging that other girls superiority.

Just another weird Argie logic issue. They'll sell you phone, sims, accessories, etc in a telco owned store like any other telco store around the world.

I go to them and say,"please recharge my personal sim card"
They say " how much for ", I say "100 pesos". They say "pay first". I say "No". They say "only if you pay first". I pay first. Nothing happens, money lost.
Scenario 2. I say "I won't pay first". They say " ok, recharged". They hand me some printout."Ok, pay now". I say "wait". They say " no, can not wait, pay now". I pay. Nothing happens, money lost.
Scenario 3. I say " I won't pay first and will only pay when I see the credit on my phone". They agree. They do something and give me a printout and and ask me to pay. I refuse to pay. They get aggressive and I decide to pay and nothing happens. Money lost.

You can also buy those cards and recharge it yourself.
1) scratch off the card to get some numbers.
2) dial *444 on your phone that you'd like to recharge.
3) press 2 (or any number) while they are talking after you have dialed (it just fast fowards)
4) Now this is when the sequence starts, press 2.
5) Then press 1 to recharge with a pre-paid card you just bought.
6)"Por favor." When you hear that, or even if you don't catch it, the sequence is correct (I just checked). Now it's time to enter the numbers from the card. After you do so press #
7) Then it'll say something, give it like 10 seconds, then hang up.
Now you're done and you should be getting a few texts saying what your actual amount is and what your total final amount is (if there is any duplicate or triplicate or other promotions).
To find out how many minutes or money you have remaining.
1) Dial *444.
2) Press 2 (or any number) a second or 2 after you hear something, after you dialed to fast forward.
3) Now the sequence begins, press 1.
4) Listen in on the numbers, you will hear ". Actual es [amount]."
Now if you don't know your numbers in spanish then I can't help, but google some numbers and they should be relatively easy to catch.
Hope that helps.
You can also buy those cards and recharge it yourself.Scratch recharge cards are harder and harder to find nowadays. Before just about every kiosk had them. In the last two trips, I had to asked about 6 kiosks each time before finally found one that have them. Even though I have been using places like pago-facil more and more (and never had a problem) I like to take one back with me, so I can use it on next trip and get phone credit on my way to town right away.

How are you guys recharging your phones with credit. I have given up!Save the reciept, it should have your number, the vendor number of the kiosko, how much money you added, plus a time and date stamp. Before you pay make sure all those things are correct. If you don't get the credit, take the reciept to an office of your provider and they will research and give you the credit. This has happened to me twice and I had no issues getting it resolved at a Moviestar store.
Second solution, they now have self serv kiosks on Fla street and one in Belgrano that you can recharge any cell or sube card. You enter the number, the amount you want to charge then feed a bill into the machine. The company that does owns the machines is a yankee company. YOu can put up to 200P on a phone at one time, though max rigalos is on 100 so if you do 200 you lose half the premium.
If you choose to go with scenerio 3 in the future fuck them, don't pay until you get the message. What are they going to do? Hit you? Practice saying "shut up you son of a working girl."
Bottom line in dealing with all these private companies is the same as club chicas, tell them what you want and don't pay them until you get it. Otherwise they are duty bound to try and dick you.

Maybe personnel is not a good pay per play cell service. I have never had any issue with movie star. In fact, my buddy in corrienties has a kiosko that charges movie star and I now have him charge it before I arrive. As soon as I land on EZE and turn my phone on it registers the credit he put on it the day before. Works great! Monger on all. Toymann

It happened at 3 different places in 3 different months. I do not like the scratch cards as the amount is small and I like a big recharge.
I know for sure, if its recharged properly, the message comes on my cellphone showing the credit. Its not in 5 seconds. It takes about 45 seconds. I want to find a place where I can recharge 200-300 on personal, without a problem.
I like Personal, because it has excellent 3 G service on its pre-paid system.
I think the city has more scam than before. I was never scammed in BA till Dec. 2011.
I am looking for a good roaming plan within South America. ANy suggestions?
I have Personal and many times it does only take 2-5 seconds to get the double SMS confirmation. One saying I charged x pesos and other saying promo credits should be available.
However on bad telco days I've had Personal take up to 8 hours before my credits were deposited. As a norm it's 2-15 seconds but there are enough "bad" days that you can't rely on an instant credit confirmation as proof the kiosco tried to rip you off or not.
Once I find places that has a reliable system (vs small kioscos that seem to have their system down a lot) I usually stick to those handful. Fwiw since 2005 and being a heavy recharger every week, never been ripped off once.
Just the sometimes long duration bad days for credits to register and once a 100p down the drain because a kiosco chica read my written number wrong and sent the credit to another account.
I never got ripped off recharging, although it certainly doesn't surprise me. I used scratch cards the first few years but then went to recharging at kioskos and locutorios and never did get ripped off. I didn't use my phone that much though, maybe 20 pesos of credit twice a month. It was a long time before I found out you got more minutes per peso by putting in 50, at least with Personal. Eventually I figured out how to put credits on, on-line, with a credit card but only with an Argie credit card, on Personal's website. That did not do me any good but I showed a few chicas how to do it. It was surprising how many of those hookers had some kind of credit or probably debit card. That kind of petty ripoff will only increase as the country slides towards its next collapse. One suggestion would be to recharge at Carrefour or Disco because you will get a receipt with the cashier's name on it and they have RELATIVELY low turnover. The one apartment I had where I had to pay the bills, a lot of times I paid them at Disco. The lines can be long though.
Many times I used the locutorio at Lavalle and Suipacha and they never ripped me off, if that helps. Probably recharged there 40 or 50 times for 20 or 50 pesos.

I can't imagine some poor guys actually pay for such services. I mean, if they can go on the web and actually find such a site. Can't they find forums such as these or ISG and actually spend their hard earned money to travel abroad.
The other day, I read somewhere that in US, they have escorts who only HUG! You pay them to hug you. And you have to ensure you do not have a hard-on when they are hugging you so that they don't feel uncomfortable!

Chances are that by the middle of the set you will have cute horny girls pushing and rubbing against you. One girl at the Doors reunion concert literally grabbed my package.

I've decided that my New Years resolution is to walk out of all restos that waiters are doing stupid shit. (slow service doesn't count or I would starve) I walked into the pizza place at Corrientes and Carlos Pelligrine tonight and asked for a slice of muzza with anchovies. The guy behind the counter said I could get one or the other but not both. I walked. A friend of mine was at another resto the other day and wanted an omlette and their continental breakfast. The waiter wouldn't serve him both until he lied and said he had a friend coming. Starting tomorrow I would have immediatly stood up and walked out. If I can't change to a different table of the same size because I'm getting run over by people, I'm gone. I'm not taking anymore of that stupid shit when I go out to eat.
Keep this in mind if you ask me to go for dinner, you don't have to leave, but I will.
About the last six months I lived there, every time they did not have change at the grocery store (meaning the cashier had to call for "cambio") I walked out and left all the shit there. And that was a lot of times.

I'm not an expert but Jackson is on USA construction and Spassmussien is an Expert on Argie Construction.
Hollow red bricks, no visible insulation, very little sheet rock until now, electrical and plumbing after the fact or external! Ugly!
Real Stucco, that's nice. Lathe work over foam seems to be unknown.
USA uses the hollow cinder blocks, maybe filled with cement at times?

Sort of questions for the El Alamo construction lately. Is it ALL new or did you have to remodel an old club?The hollow red bricks (ladrillo hueco) have been used in the US for years. But not recently. The major difference between here and "there" is in the lack of structural engineering. The lack of decent foundations is a major problem here in BsAs due to the soft soil. Also the lack of building inspections and the attitude of "No problema, no pasa nada!" It is typical here to build a house up to three stories with walls constructed with one brick thickness. Then they channel the brick to add electric and plumbing (making a weak wall weaker) instead of installing as they go. There is also a good brand of cement and a cheaper brand where you need to add another bag or two to each cubic meter of cement to get the same strength. You know if they are buying the cheaper brand they are not adding extra. A house here built by Argentines to US standards cost 2 to 3 times more then in the US. (and you still don't get the same quality) We have just started building houses here using steel framing, you should see the amount of people asking questions and taking pictures! We are not the first but you would think so!

-even without channeling a one-brick-wall will easily fall down,
if you forgot to structure with steel-armed-concrete-columns, bien firme y estable.
B. Th. W. Ramiro: I AM doing construction in Argentina.
But
I was more than 20 years constructing big rental houses in Germany before.
Then I decided to do the job without working much, as it can be done here.
P. D. Usually the best cunstruction-workers are NOT argentines
I built a house in Iguazú. I went through 5 different builders before I found one who would even follow my instructions.
When I told the first one to double the size of the footings he'd calculated for the steel-armed-concrete-columns he just walked off the job. I eventually found one who I could trust and was willing to do things how I wanted them, but then I had to travel and leave him alone to install the plumbing from the tank down through the roof to the second floor, before the roof was installed. I left him detailed drawings and the exact number of fittings needed to complete the job. I'd designed it so that there was a large-bore supply to the kitchen and bathrooms, reducing the bore only to the actual outlets. Thus avoiding what I'd experienced in every single dwelling I'd ever been in in Iguazú, loss of pressure throughout the house whenever a tap was turned on.
When I got back, the roof was on and there was a bag full of plumbing fittings left over, including all the bore-reduction fittings. He'd completely ignored my instructions and fitted only the small bore pipes from the tank throughout the house. He said he did it to save me money and because "that's how we do it here". It would have required so much work, including removing the roof, to fix it, that I lost all interest in completing the job and eventually sold the property unfinished.

First time I have ever seen a store closed for vacation. Saw 2 this morning while wandering around. 1 said closed for vacation. 2-22 January. The other just said closed for vacation.That really freaked me out in Corrientes last year. Half the stores closed from Christmas to around the 21st of Jan, then they reopened and the other half closed until mid Feb. It was like a ghost town.
First time I have ever seen a store closed for vacation. Saw 2 this morning while wandering around. 1 said closed for vacation. 2-22 January. The other just said closed for vacation.True, they are closed 1/2 of every day, then they are closed Sundays, and at noon or one on Sat. Plus now there is a "feriado" every 2 to three weeks. Then they compain that there is "no business"!
The average store here maybe averages 8 hours a day compared to 18 hours a day in the states. The larger chains such as Jumbo etc. are open all day like we are used to. But guess what? These are all foreign owned businesses! There is no Argie telling them what hours they should be open.
If you ever look for say a used car in the paper, you will notice that 98% don't put a price! No prices, so what do they expect you to do? Call each and every one? This alone in my book would discourage me (or any one) from buying a used car. Plus a lot of ads for 0 Km cars, still no prices but sometimes a vague mention of a "minimum" deposit and payments.

The "rules" this chica talks about, while calling them etiquette, but in actuality are her rules for LETTING you fuck her FOR MONEY are the MOST egregious example of GPS I have ever fucking seen!
While I certainly treat good providers with respect, and I like it better when they enjoy their work, I expect their focus to be on MY pleasure and not telling me what fucking gifts to bring them in ADDITION to the money they are being paid. Basic shit like take a shower, brush your teeth, wear clean underwear sure, but if I have to romance her to get her in the mood! Seriously? When I take my car to the shop, I say howdy to the mechanic, since I've been going to the same one for years I ask about his family, he's a nice guy and a good mechanic, I treat him with the respect he deserves and I do the same with a good working girl, but ME being focused on HER needs, sorry bubba, ain't happening and it's one of the reasons I live here not there.
I moderate the US board so I know all about this one and hundreds like her. While granting some dudes like "thick" (I fucking love that word but don't understand why people just don't say fat tub of fucking lard) chicks, personally I wouldn't fuck that chica for free let alone try and win her "favor."
Sorry bro, this rant really wasn't aimed at you, it's aimed at the whole spectrum of GPS under-performers up there that have brainwashed an entire gender that they are worth the hassles they demand.
Although not everyones pleasure. She is highly reviewed and also a porn star. I am a member on the USA forum and she is very highly spoken of there.Must be a specialty niche, fat fetish porn star. Her photos push her well into the BBW multi fold tub o lovin category.

We all know the locals charge us more for stuff but I really didn't expect to see it here on the forum. Today Lunita posted 600 pesos for full service including back door. As recently as 02 Feb she is reviewed on the local board at 400 for the same thing. I think she is even reviewed here for 400 yet suddenly there is a 33% bump.
Don't get me wrong, I respect her right to charge as she wished, it's her body, her business, but this is an example of.
Monger: "what's the price?
Provider: "I'm not sure, how much do you have in your pocket.
600 pesos is a dividing line on the local boards for high level girls.
Some examples;.
Dominique 650, http://www.soloindependientes.com/escorts-acompanantes/Dominique_15-5176-2837_763.htm haven't done it but she is a GODDESS on the local boards.
Paola 600 http://www.soloindependientes.com/escorts-acompanantes/Paola%20Vieira_15-6033-5772_741.htm been there, recently had a problem with her, but I still highly recommend.
Denise 600 http://www.soloindependientes.com/escorts-acompanantes/Denisse_15-3159-9846_840.htm 100% P.S.E.
Angie Area VIP 700. (Can't link to AVIP ads but you can look her up) perfect body, awesome service!
She's just not in that league and she doesn't charge locals as if she is because she knows how that would work out. The only reason for the bump here is because she knows most guys here convert to dollars and compare to their home markets. Personally for 600 I would expect delivery, all points of access, multiple shots on goal, and a minimum of 1.5 hours, better 2. At the end of it I better get my shoes tied as well.
I said I smelled a Ms. Sol thing when this started with her, I haven't been proved wrong so far.

Nevertheless, I know that some guys would lose their erections thinking about the extra $13 bucks.
And before Dickhead jumps in, an increase from $400 to $600 pesos would actually be a 50% increase.

I brought three girls, Jackson and Sunseeker added one each, Lunita being one. I was curious to bang her as she had a good review from Sunseeker and I contacted her via SMS. She called me back and we chatted a bit. The party was supposed to start at 10 pm. We talked about the party and I asked her when she would like to come over. It was about 7 pm that same day and she said she would come over around 8 pmish. All good see ya soon. She indicated her rate for take out was 500 pesos, I agreed and said "see ya soon".
She arrived around 815 ish, give or take 5 minutes. We talked, had drink, blew a fat one and then off to the bedroom. She was a fun Chica to hang with and loves to dirty talk while you are going at it. No BBBJCIM, which is normally my minimum requirement but all in all a pretty good time. We finished at 9:50 pm exactly as it was just 10 minutes before the party was to begin. She hit the shower in my apartment to get ready. At this point I was thinking maybe I might see her again even though she wasn't quite my usual style as we had had a pretty fun time together. As she was showering I put 500 pesos on the coffee table, as agreed.
This is when the wierd stuff started. She got finished in the bathroom, and when she picked up the 500 pesos she looked at me and informed me that she had been with me for two hours and that I owed her another 500 pesos! WTF! I was quite surprised by this and told her that it was not my experience to pay by the minute like a taxi cab, that she had not been here for two full hours and furthermore I was a tad surprised by her request as she was about to make more money at a party I had organized. That all said, I was faced with a small issue here. I didn't want a pissed off Chica heading upstairs to the party, was now positive I would never see the clock watching puta again, so I offered her 200 pesos more but let her know that her business model was not one built for long term success and I was fully aware that she wouldn't get away with this with the locals! She pondered my comments and then to my surprise handed me 100 pesos back.
We headed upstairs and she put on a pretty good show with the other girls, mission accomplished. I think Jackson took her home that night.
In summary, she is a total NO REPEAT Chica for me solely based on her taxi cab business model. Now, in less than thirty days she wants to jack up her rate for us dumb gringos! WTF?
As the boys in the house know, when in country, I usually see 3 girls a day, virtually everyday. I have not had this type of experience in as long as I can remember! I usually see independent Internet chicas plus my usuals during my trips to BA. Most if not all of the first time chicas I have seen over the past couple of years charge 5-600 pesos for takeout and, in my experience don't watch the clock. The session usually last for 90 minutes to just shy of a couple of hours, and I am talking about first contact chicas. Once you develop Onda with a girl the session often last longer without any discussion of mas plata. Maybe I have just been lucky!

Actually, her outcall price was 0 pesos and is now 0 pesos, which is a % increase.
Nevertheless, I know that some guys would lose their erections thinking about the extra bucks.
And before Dickhead jumps in, an increase from 0 to 0 pesos would actually be a 50% increase.
Thanks,
Jackson.That would be a 50% increase in pricing. My bad.

If ya want to bang this Chica because you fancy her just keep in mind that you need to get it, get it done before the clock strikes midnight. This board is about sharing experiences. She is a fun Chica, just has a bad habit of clock watching. Doesn't mean you can't see her, just keep this in mind. Kinda angry GH? Usually not your thing but stuff is subject to change i guess.

Last week I was looking at Golden Retriever pups at a outdoor market near my house that they have most Sundays. They were asking for another $200 p if you wanted the dogs "papers" (the argie version of the AKC) .

Besides, I say how do I know they are genuine buying from some one in a open air market with no permanent address or store. So after assuring me that they were legit, etc. Etc. He goes and offers me papers for my other dog for another $200 p. I stand there looking at this idiot thinking if he is offering me phony papers for the one dog, sure as dog sh*t the one he is selling me is false also. Needless to say I did not buy from him!

TL.They ARE policemen. Specialized in firefighting but have all the same powers and obligations as a regular cop. They started carrying weapons in the mid 70's when the left wing guerillas would wait for them in ambush after setting off their bombs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u85kXAxYeQ8Happened to me 2 years ago at Carlos Calvo and Santiago del Estero. Although the idiot caught me on the back of the head with his knuckles and probably hurt himself more than he hurt me!

It wasn't even an attempted robbery, he was just showing off to a couple of girls that he was hanging round with on the corner.
One of the weirdest things for me going from the United States to Latin America is the way people perceive dogs. Some people in United States treat them better than humans. Heck, I have a relative that spends more time doing dog rescue than she spends raising her own children. In Latin America, it seems there are always more strays and ferals running around than actual pets. In Mexico, people kick and abuse the stray dogs for the fun of it. You'd go to jail for that in the US. I hate having to hopscotch down the sidewalks trying to avoid the feces. No matter how vigilant you are, eventually you are going to step in some.

He said it's a choice between those useless ones or buying 50 X what his customers would actually use at the resto. It's really not their fault.

I'm in El Cuartito the other day having a slice and the guy standing next to me grabs the toothpicks, they're in like a salt shaker and the guy is trying to unscrew the cap. I'm thinking, why doesn't he just shake one out? He can't loosen it so he grabs another. He's doing this all furtively, looking away from what he's doing. This time he succeeds in getting the cap unscrewed, he takes out about half the toothpicks in the shaker and stuffs them in his pocket!

Hi guys!
As argentinean I laughed my ass out with your comments. I read the whole 5 pages!
I always wondered what foreign people think about us, about our culture. And as argentinean I´m absolutly aware of our problems. Believe me, I agree with you all when you say buying in a supermarket could turn into a never ending story.
But I know we have great things too. Probably most of you stay here because of them.
The only thing I disagree is about thieves. Some of you said it´s in our genes, which is clearly not and is an insult for all of us. And remember: Argentina is a very big country and most of you are taking the picture just from Buenos Aires. Porteños dont represent every argentinean.
Finally, about those cheap napkins: those are offered only when you eat in the front bars where you eat in standing position, and not in the tables. In the bars, most people eat without fork and knife and just with their hands. So a soft napking wouldnt be helpfull for holding a hot greasy slice of pizza. Thats the reason.
Sorry for my english.

And I can assure you porteos are far more arrogants than any other people in Argentina. Even in latin america. And I dont say it because I hate them, Im a porteo myself!Portenos are on average more arrogant than campesinos, even my friends. I was referring to the difference in what we (Yankees) and the average Argentine would consider fair. My landlord in Corrientes charged me twice as much rent as the Argentinos living in the building. Remiseros were much more likely to try and overcharge, Xoom tried to give me under the posted rate on transfers the first time until I told them to cancel the transaction, poker players colluded against extranjeros, the list is sort of endless. Again, I'm not saying this is wrong or bad, it's simply a difference in culture and it's pervasive in not just Argentina, but in all Latin America. I often think most Argentines would rather profit 50 dollars thinking they had taken advantage, than to profit 100 thinking that both sides had gotten a fair deal. And they would much rather profit nothing than have to wonder if perhaps in some small way somebody had gotten an advantage over them.
While porteños are the highest on the arrogance spectrum, I also saw more arrogance from southern argentineans than northern ones. My favorite argentinos are salteños and formoseños. I do believe at least part of Formosa province was paraguayan before the war of the Triple Alliance. Maybe that's why!

Initial official reports stated that the apartment was securely locked from the inside. Now information is coming out that there was a service entrance easily opened by a locksmith at the scene.
Also, there was a third small entrance to the apartment from the apartment next door. That apartment was rented by a foreigner, the articles I saw stated that it was not an Iranian. I wonder why they made that clarification.
Well, if the foreigner wasn't an Iranian, I'm thinking it was a monger. So fess up boys, who was getting busy and never even heard the gun shot next door.

So the place is always packed on Sunday.
Tourist trap for the most part.
We order an Entire Lomo. (Filet Mignon).
The waiter exclaimed that it was for 6 people.
$600.00 peso steak.
5 could eat well.
We were 2 .
I specifically stated that I wanted that Piece of Cow Mooing.
Blu.
That a qualified Vet could get it back on it's feet.
A lot of blood.
I said that we could always send it back to the grill if it needed more cooking time.
Took a long time. Getting worried.
He brought me the largest Filet I have ever seen.
That's a bad sign because it tells you that it was not a young calf or veal but an older animal.
Cooked like shoe leather. Argie style.
I asked him if he thought that it was overcooked; like shoe leather, the way that Locals love to eat their meat.
He said it was NOT his fault because He did not cook it.
Customer next to me told me to send it back but I did not because I'm a nicer guy these days and I wasn't paying 600 p for the damn thing.
Find some bloody parts and continue my lunch and suddenly a waiter hands me a poorly written note in broken English telling me that If I don't like the way Argies cook their meat that I should go to "Subway" or eat "Grits!
And go back home!
No More Mr. Nice Guy!
The table that sent the note was a family of 4 with 2 children that spoke a little English.
At that moment I had the largest pepper mill sitting on my table and I proceeded to call them everything in both books!
"I'm going to shove this pepper mill up your ass! How could you butt in to my conversation? At least learn how to spell!
The weasel husband got up and told me that that was his wife so I said that it was not my fault that he married a Puta de Mierda!
Called him Pussy Whipped.
Now the owner and a cop are at my table so I keep bitching so they will throw me out.
No such luck.
15 minutes later the owner comes to my table with the note in question.
Apologizes and offers me a Lemoncello!
I don't drink so I accepted a water.
I was shaking with a knife in my hand.
Customer next to me said that I had picked the worst waiter!
Place was packed!

I am sitting outside at a restaurant in Recoleta eating a late lunch, and a disgusting, smelly homeless guy goes walking up to to every table begging for money. When you tell him "lo siento", he just stares with his hand out. It was like he was not going to take no for an answer. It totally ruined the dining experience for me. Why do the staff allow this?
Later at night, I'm at McDonald's just sitting down to eat when some street kid walks inside and asks if he can have my Coke. I tell him "no" five times. It is like these people think if they are persistent, they will get their way. He asked a few other tables who refused, then started screaming all kind of bullshit inside, until the staff gave him a water and told him to get out.
So yeah, Argentina is the only place where I get harassed by bums while I am dining. Bon appetit!
I would suggest that, instead of saying 'lo siento,' go with 'Largate!'
This happens in a lot of latin american countries. But here, the problem is in Argie land that the bums have more rights then you do. And if the "bum" is under 17 years old they can do anything, and I do mean anything they want because they cant be prosecuted. Hence the feeling of " No pasa nada" exists. So people are wary of "offending" the bums, because they might turn around and attck them. A sixteen year old can commit a murder and at the most will spend a hour or two in the station house while they ask him a few questions. Then he goes free. Mean while his parents and neigbhors are outside the station house protesting that the police are brutalising their only perfect angel of a son who walkson water and can do no wrong! Then the same people hold a protest and complain about all the crime............... Go figure.
I've seen in many cities (Bariloche, Bahia Blanca, Mar Del Plata, Cordoba) there are people who will claim ownership of all of the parking spots on a given block. If you want to park on that block, you have to give them money. They will protect vacant parking spaces with cones and buckets. The trapitos supposedly protect your car and may wash your windshield or the like for an additional tip. It is ridiculous that cities allow individuals to claim public property as their own and allow people to get shaked down like this.

The people who allow the shakedown most likely get a cut of the money.

No necessary young man I have a Rottweiler in the back seat ...
The kid replys.."He knows how to put fires out does he ???".

Additionally it's not people who claim those spots, it's way way way more organized than that.

Somehow I don't think that multi-millionaire Argentinean football players are going to have any problems scoring with Russian women with or without advice from management. I think if I could do it they can do it although I have never been to Russia. All my experience is based on what occurred in Berlin. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/16/argentina-fa-apology-pick-up-guide-russia-2018-world-cup.
