Bert, soon you will have motivations to like us all !

No please don't think in economical contributions, just consider Argentina's products if you can choose.

A good idea would be: if your bank is CitiBank, Nova Scotia, Bank of Boston, Bank of America, HSBC, Bilbao Vizcaya, Nationale de Paris, Nazionale del Lavoro, or anyone which has Argentina branches, send them a message or leave a note at the counters: FREE ARGENTINA'S PEOPLE FUNDS, or something like that. And be prepared for a long explanation on how they lost billions and what a benefit is for us that they keep our money locked and do not close.

Beware of the import/export thieves: FOB price for Yerba Mate is 0.80 to 1.50 dollars/kg, excellent wines 2 to 3 dollars/bottle, first quality tea 0.50 for 50 bags, wool sweater 7.00, short leather coat 50.00, long for ladies 80.00.. (I think I'll switch from singing to hawking)

Un abrazo - Andrés
