Swine Flu and Coin Shortages

I am nearing in on the two week mark of my departure to buenos aires and I have been getting increasingly more excited.

However, in the past two days, two pieces of information have come to my attention that both worry and intrigue me.
This first is the slightly serious and slightly worrisome SWINE FLUE OUTBREAK
Apparently in the past week there has been a huge swine flu outbreak in buenos aires, shutting down schools, killing 44 people, and forcing everyone into face masks.

I'm honestly not that worried because my dad hooked me up with tammiflu, which basically cures it if you take it as soon as you feel symptoms.

The second event is quite interesting to me. Apparently, there is a huge coin shortage in buenos aires right now. Because public transportation (an integral aspect of the city) costs less than the lowest bill value (and because coins are very useful) there are extremely long lines for coin machines.

my favorite aspect of this crisis is that the bus companies sell their acquired coins to other bussinesses at marked up prices...pretty smart i think

so if you have any argetine coins...let me know
