Do you like to hoard Argentine coins and keep them as souvenirs? You better think again. You might just be contributing to the further decline of the Argentine economy.

Apparently, the Argentine government is now put on the mockery stage for its inability to create a steady circulation of coins for the economy, further weakening Argentina's economy that has been falling down in recent months.

Reckless Driving in Argentina

Apparently, good driving manners is not something taken seriously in Argentina, considering that the number of accidents per thousand cars is quite high compared to other nations. In Argentina, these accidents are the number 3 killers, as compared to it being number 9 in the world.

Is there a problem with the Argentine mentality when it comes to driving? Perhaps.

Q&A: Missing Persons Search

On 12/15/08 14:02, Claire Briddock asked the following question:

Can anyone help me trace Eduardo Francisco Jaime Counago (I think this is the correct name). He spent some time in Sheffield, England around 1962 - 1964 where he worked in the steel works. I think he returned to Buenos Aires in 1964.

I believe he had a sister called Mercedes and two brothers.

Any help would be fantastic!
