The stories I hear from her and some others I know over there are pretty shocking. Street crime is at an all time high in the whole country. They are also having power problems.

It may or may not be worth it to go there, but be informed and make a calculated decision taking all factors into account... and if you go bring your street pass!!

This is what I'm worried about. While a shitty economy can present a nice geographic arbitrage opportunity, no power means no income if you're working online. And the one thing that really turns me off on Argentina and Latin America as a whole is the violent street crime. I feel you're much more likely to get knifed or shot there than in Europe or Asia.

What? You think getting group jumped by pinoys or thais is better than getting jumped by one or two latin americans?

I'll rather fight one or two than the whole tribe.

Latin Americans don't fight by gentleman's rules either. The difference is the knives and guns. Comparing the safety of say Brazil with Thailand is apples and oranges. SEA is much safer.

The Argentine peso is falling quickly against the US Dollar :

In one day, one USD went from 13 to 13,15 pesos, and it's a historical low for the peso!

Argentinian women will not become easier to bang. If they could somehow peg their peso to that, their economic problems would be solved.
