Hi Jay,

When you say "any tips" what are you referring to? Any tips in general, tips of the problems here?

Its true, most articles and travel journals/blogs write about the good stuff. Here is a list of things that are difficult about Buenos Aires. I love the city, but it can be frusterating. Don´t see this as a bitch session about the city, just figure you want to know:

- extrememly dirty. Garbage everywhere. Polluted.
- very loud!! The buses are especially noisy, its a pretty chaotic city.
- low wages, and it is super expensive here (unless you´re here with saved money, or are paid for a job in dollars).
- a general lack of respect, of one person for another
- inflation (ouch!!)
-shortage of change (soon to change)
- worst of all, bad government. This country has tons of potential, but until they get a great leader, they will continue with hard times.

There are plenty of great things about BA:
- fun, lots of culture, great nightlife, always new and fun things to do
- great restaurants if you have a bit of money
- fun and friendly people
- great transportation 24 hrs
- fun and very different spanish
- great mix of european and latin culture
- great soccer!
- delicious meat
- amazing wine
- the list goes on

IF you want more information, check out my guide to Buenos Aires.

My email is there as well if you have questions.

Cheers,
Diego
