We voted in Campana, organization was Argentina-style: mesas were indicated in chalk on the ground in front of each queue (and so invisible for new arrivals...), voters were called 5 or 10 at a time into the school to queue a second time, here we showed our DNIs, said which "orden" we belonged...

oh, I just thought of another one, vigilance! ie: situational awareness! You said Cordoba, don't know if you meant city or state, but regardless, this applies everywhere. Keep you head on a swivel! I don't mean to sound paranoid, but if you're like me, I don't "blend in" everyone on the street...

So as I understand in Argentina they have what they call "vacaciones corridas". I'm entitled to 15 days of vacation, but I'm still trying to understand what these vacaciones corridas imply. What does it mean? Also, does it mean that I need to take 15 days straight of vacation or can I still...

I wish it were so..but the general quality of that mass produced "fresh produce" is what worries me now I'm in my 40s. The rising rate of morbid obesity in US is just a sign that something in the system isn't working, be that farming, education..que se yo. The potential quality of life there is...

Is that 7000 per month or year ?

My very Kirchnerista workmate's take on the cacerolazo was that it is the rich crying because they are not allowed dollars - that these rich expect us (the poor, downtrodden) to go without essentials like food, etc so that they can keep up their habit of buying dollars and travelling freely...
