(attempting the virtually impossible and) Understanding Argentine Finances, part 291


There's Valentine's Day, of course. Round your way you surely must have a Mother's Day and a Father's Day. You might even have Friend's Day, too. However in Argentina they have "Bank Worker's Day" on November 6th every year and due to that all banks and even the BCBA Stock Market are closed today.

Before you ask, I have no freakin' idea why. Can't help you, sorry. It's Argentina, y'see. Even more sadly, ask an Argentine and they won't have a freakin' clue, either.

Fernet con Coca served. The end.
