Finally success! I was able to exchange USD for Argentine pesos. It was a good day. Can you guess how much I exchanged?
PengembaraI think that 1k bill is worth about $3. I can see more than 10 of those big bill. So it's more than $100. I do not think you would cash out more than $200. So I'm guessing it's $140.

looks like the speed bump is pretty efficient at slowing people down, and the other people just have to "go for it"..... I would be sitting there for a month before I could cross...lol
PengembaraThis city would be hazardous for people who are rules followers as you’d never get anywhere. I learned the rule is…You cross when you see an opening, cars go when they see an opening. In the end you hope you all don’t end up at the same place at the same time.
