    Cambio in Buenos Aires – a place for transformation

    Here is a story of a strange exchange at a bureau de change. Western Union is one of the principal global money transfer services which allows anyone to send cash anywhere in the world. However, in this story, under the subtle influence of Jorge Luis Borges, a bureau de change in Buenos Aires has become not only a place for transmission but also a place for transformation. Sometimes with the strangest results.
