the bad

 Something that I just cannot get past in Buenos Aires is inflation.  Every time I go to the supermarket things cost more.  You can´t even buy 200g of butter in my supermarket for under 6 or 7 pesos, and when I first arrived here two years ago it cost less than 3 pesos.  The problem is, you need to buy food to live, every day, so this reality is constantly hitting you in the face.  It´s in the newspapers, the government deny it, everybody talks about it and it´s enough to be a downer in your otherwise quite pleasant day.  I hardly ever buy cheese anymore because it´s basically a luxury item.  Good for my figure but not so good for my taste buds. 

In the supermarket about an hour ago, the people in front of me were putting their 300 peso grocery bill on a credit card of three payments.  If you can´t even afford to pay for your groceries in one shot, what hope is there?  Maybe I am being dramatic but for me, inflation is a big concern and a huge BAD on this blog.
