Who cares... let me know the rate when the hurricanes stop and the evil empire of AA lets me take a trip

Evil Empire?

Their prices have been resonable lately.

[BrooklynBeas]

they kinda cancelled my plans for the weekend... well i guess the hurricanes did but you know what i mean... im not very friendly right now

[gdogg]

Will we see it go over 40 any time soon?

[RearWindow]

I would be surprised, unless it blips up for a day or so. The Gov't is really trying hard to push the peso back down..i think we may have to get used to mid thirties as being the norm for a while. Which ain't too bad, but certainly not the 48 we had for a bit.

Oh well, I hope the chicas are ready for a pay cut!

Not really the putas will just raise their prices.

Adjusted for inflation as such.

Amazingly, and someone actually posted about this ,perhaps in jest, I got into a serious exchange rate/pricing debate with a favorita in BC last trip. When i was there last she was "X" for tln, when the peso was at 45, i think. It now had fallen to 36 but she was still asking "X", and I said no, i pay you "Y" because "X" is too much now that the dollar has fallen. And she launches into a detailed economic report about cost of living, against the flucuation of the dollar..blah blah. Some of these girls (especially those from el capital) really Do pay attention to the exchange rate. And they hope that we don't.

I think Jimmy posted something somewhere about the cost of living in the Dominican is still going up, so she may be speaking the truth. Jimmy, when you read this, repost your high grocery prices story/analogy again. Thanks.

I usually go food shopping on my last day there. April I spent about 5,000 pesos on a cart full of food. July I spent 9,000 pesos on a cart. In Augost I spent 5,000 on half a cart. Those prices are shooting up fast. 50 pounds of rice was about 500 and I paid 1,100 in Augost.

[gdogg]

Yeah, that's the one. Thanks Jimmy!
