En la Argentina de la Dignidad y del trabajo se viaja en bondi:

The one-way ticket was about $55 each (195 pesos)—bear in mind that this is the most expensive bus ticket you can buy. The bus had a pilot and a co-pilot, plus a steward that served us a nice dinner (choice of meat, chicken or vegetarian) with wine and champagne, and then a breakfast in the morning. The bus holds only 25 passengers. I don't know how in the world they can make any money doing this, but bus travel is thriving in Argentina. That such a low fare can support a first class bus manned by a crew of three for almost 12 hours tells you a lot about how low wages are in Argentina and how far your dollar can take you here. Flying would have cost us at least $300 each.

  1. Pasajeros y viajes fantasmas, lo necesario para lavar dinero.

  2. Conozco un lugar donde hay 5 lavaderos de autos en 100 metros, todos del mismo tipo, y que además tiene una concesionaria de autos usados. Sus lavaderos de auto se la pasan lavando sus propios autos todo el día, con una tarifa bastante cara. ¿Cómo no se nos ocurrió? La máquina de movimiento perpetuo. ¿Si lava guita? Noooooo...

  3. La industria del lavado de dinero (de coimas, evasión y narcotráfico) debe ser la industria más pujante de la Argentina.
