In the meantime, the President of all Argentineans is continuing her state visits. She has completed her stay in Abu Dhabi. There is no news coverage about the accomplishments with the United Arab Emirate's rulers, but, all the news showed extensive coverage of her meeting with Diego Maradona, Argentinean soccer idol, and presently coaching in the UAE.

| Diego has been converted to a Cristinista, and proclaims on this photo: 'Those who criticize Cristina are the same as ever: the ones who are born in a golden cradle and don't even know how to cook a stew.' |

Since the first 1 January 2013, inflation has already reached another 11 %.
The government says that a person can live of 7 pesos a day; the other side says, that the cost of living has doubled. I have tried the 7 peso budget...feel like a starvation diet ?
The 'blue' exchange has risen another 35 centavos overnight, and 7.30 pesos today buy one US dollar.The official exchange rate still sits at 5 pesos for a US Dollar.
Any tourist bringing large nominations of US cash can have a heyday. The ones going to ATMs (sigh!!!) pay 48 % more for their local cash.
Go figure, one has to be a creative mathematician to understand these surprising discrepancies. Maybe it's the new Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
