And, from what I can see, the public colectivos are maintained much better than the public schools.Dr. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044202573041019646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-38632725589358131432007-02-22T17:43:00.000-03:002007-02-22T17:43:00.000-03:00We have just arrived back in BA to a clean apartme...We have just arrived back in BA to a clean apartment but empty fridge so a trip to the local supermarket was the first thing we did...and I was shocked! I expected a 10-15% increase but no, it was over 30% on eggs, yoghurt, etc. WE had coffee at our local cafe, their "oferta" has gone up more than 20%. Later that same night, we strolled to our local heladeria, prices have gone up by over 20% again. I'm still puzzled as to which are the 8,000 products they use to measure inflation.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, we have noticed the election year effects: they are paving the area around a new public park with fancy pavers, there seem to be less poo on the streets. Ah, such is life in Argentina!miss cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210998763456566715noreply@blogger.com
