thanks- thats much better than the $50 USD rate hyatt had told me about to arrange with a service they had. those rates are for cabs you pick up at airport or arrange in advance? also in once most regular stores will change or are there specific places I should go to?
sorry for all the questions just wanna be as prepared as know as much as possible going in, hoping that will at least somewhat offset the fact that i dont speak their language at all...
The PH's rates are higher than what you can get at either airport.
You can just get any old yellow and black cab at the airport. Be aware that the driver will probably not speak English, so be prepared to speak in Spanish. You can probably go to a booth in the airport to arrange a cab there, but I never landed at AEP (just left from there), so I don't know for sure. No need to arrange anything before you get there.
In Once most stores will not change money. People in shul might;
some store might, but there's nowhere specific. I went to this fabric place I spoke about either in my
TR or upthread. Calle Florida (while not Jewish) is the standard place to get a good rate).
I completely understand your questions, as I went through the same thing before I went. It's really nothing to worry about. I'm fluent in Spanish, so that was one less thing to worry about. You really should learn some key question words and numbers so you have some idea of what they're saying. Unlike many countries, they really don't speak English outside of the hotels and restaurants. Even most Jews don't speak anything besides Spanish. Best of luck!
