An Easy Way to Get Dollars in Buenos Aires

Posted: 06 May 2009 10:53 AM PDT

Here’s a great tip for those of you looking to get US dollars in Buenos Aires with no fee or exchange rate issues:

American Express allows Platinum Card and Centurion Card holders (personal or business) to cash a personal check from your US bank at their customer service center at Arenales 707, Buenos Aires. You’ll need to bring the following with you:

• Your American Express card
• Your US passport
• A personal check from a US bank

At their offce, simply head downstairs and get into the shorter line for Platinum card holders. At the window, present your American Express card and passport.  You then make out a personal check payable to “American Express” and you’ll receive dollars or pesos in return. There is no fee for this service, so it’s the cheapest way to get cash here.  The only restriction is that they have a $5000 per calendar month limit. You must also sign a form stating that you do not intend to stay in Argentina for more than 12 months from the current date.

Che Boludo: A Gringo’s Guide to Understanding the Argentines’FROM ARGENTINE POST

Che Boludo: A Gringo’s Guide to Understanding the Argentines

By James Bracken, Ediciones Continente, 30 pesos, 61 pages
Reviewed by Stephen Page

On a recent sunny spring day, while wandering the streets of Buenos Aires, searching for a café where I could sit outside at a table and sip an espresso while looking at the passers-by (a popular Argentine custom), I detoured into a bookstore.

On the very first shelf I came to, I found a pocket-sized book titled Che Boludo, with the subtitle: A Gringo’s Guide to Understanding the Argentines.

I opened the book and discovered it was a dictionary of sorts, filled with words I had never read before.  The words were contemporary Argentine slang, and the definitions were in English.  “What a great find,” I thought.

After a decade of living in Argentina, I have been missing some of the slang while talking with friends, or at Sunday family get-togethers (they don’t teach Argentine slang at US universities, or in most of the Castellano classes offered in Buenos Aires).  I was growing tired of repeatedly asking, “What? What does that mean?”

The title of the book translates to, “Hey Idiot!” or “Hey Buddy!” or “Hey Friend!”—depending on to whom you’re talking and your tone of voice.  “Boludo” literally means “one with big testicles,’which does not mean “ballsy” or “brave,” but instead denotes a lack of cerebral functions.  In Argentina, the young as well as the old use slang.  You might hear an elderly man with a cane standing on the street corner waiting for the green crossing light mutter “¡miercoles!”—which translates to “shit” or “Goddamnit” or “hell”; you might hear a sophisticated woman in a fur coat call her husband’s new secretary a “puta” (whore) or a “babosa” (horny woman) even if she knows bystanders are listening to her; you might hear a teenager say to his brother, “No me hinchés las pelotas,” which means, connotatively, “don’t be a pain”—but denotatively means, well . . . you’ll have to read the book to know that one.

The book also contains drawings of the more popular hand gestures Porteños use—gestures that have risqué yet non-offensive meanings.

When you hang out with your Argentine friends, or you are at the family Sunday lunch table, everyone speaks slang, every one pokes fun, and everyone calls each other bad names in jest—and it is not looked down upon nor considered bad taste—it is simply a part of the Argentine culture.

This book is a must-read for all Expats or visitors who want to participate in conversations among Porteños.  It is available in just about any bookstore in Buenos Aires, and also available  at amazon.com.
