Half of my family is from Buenos Aires and I often go back to visit. It's crazier than you think over there.

Not too long ago they made it illegal and very difficult for any Argentinean to take out their own money from the ATM. The government is trying really hard to keep everyone inside the country and only spend money within the country.

So for anyone visiting Argentina anytime soon, bring as many US dollars as possible. It almost makes traveling in the country cheap if you black market exchange it. It basically doubles your money.
