That worked, they were open until 4 today. It's the first time I've been to La Serena since all this started. What a mess.

My local ServiEstado is, but the webpage you linked is not telling the truth, unfortunately.

Thanks. As long as they're still generally open on Saturday, I should be able to find one. I don't think things are as bad here, as they are there.

Does anyone happen to know if ServiEstado is open on saturday's now (assuming they haven't been burned down)? I found this web page that gives their new civil unrest hours, but it doesn't mention which days those hours are for. https://www.bancoestado.cl/imagenes/_campanas/contingencia/index.asp#ser...

Well this one isn't bad, it opens many opportunities for small stores.

Memories of old style corner stores. In those times before credit cards.

The small stores are what I like the most about living here. I don't have to walk far, to get almost everything I need.

central bank just injected 4 billion dollars to put the breaks on the peso slide.

let's see how that goes.

That oughta hold it for a few minutes

I seem to remember getting a temporary document when I got my first ID, but I don't remember what it was called. Otherwise, I'd just search on that. Registro Civil gives you a receipt which supposedly you can use as a temporary id. My new cedula arrived before I needed to find out if that is true o...

It looks like a slow melt-up, with a brief spike to 800, and now the slow melt-up is continuing. I'm guessing there are very few USD sellers, most probably waiting to see what's going to happen. And 1 significantly large peso seller, who decided to get out now and found that there are very few USD s...
