Argentina’s Spiraling Inflation…
I saw a funny cartoon the other day on Discover Buenos Aires, a blog dedicated to an outsider’s view of living in the Argentine capital, which I’m sharing here. It explains what $6 would get you today in comparison with less than 10 years ago…let’s get it together, Sra. Kirchner!!
2004 con $6: Hola, dame un alfajor, un paquete de pepitas y una Coca Cola mediana.
2007 con $6: Hola, dame un alfajor y una Coca Cola chica.
2010 con $6: Hola, dame un alfajor.
2013 con $6: Hola.
(Translation below…not that it’s difficult!)
2004 with $6: Hello, give me an alfajor (a type of sweet), a pack of pumpkin seeds and a medium Coca Cola.
2007 with $6: Hello, give me an alfajor and a small Coca Cola.
2010 with $6: Hello, give me an alfajor.
2013 with $6: Hello.

Since everything is a cartoon in Korea, I love how even the places where you go to eat beef and pork have smiling, happy cows and pigs…amazing!
