in buenos aires


it costs 6 pesos to buy a pack of cigarettes
and 8 pesos to mail a postcard.
in new york, it costs $12 to buy a pack of cigarettes
and 40 ¢ to mail a postcard.

but it is comforting to know that wherever you are in this wonderful world there will always be an unintelligible asian willing to weigh your laundry and charge you a fair price to shrink your clothes.

(of note: 4 AR pesos = $1 US)
