    WiFi disaster

    Google maps can be downloaded for a particular region. The entire area of BA is no problem. Just do the download at home.

    Watch Boca Juniors online?

    For what it's worth Apple TV + just released "Messi’s World Cup: The Rise of a Legend" It's really excellent if you are interested.

    Argentina diary: ‘Come armed with $100 bills’

    Hard to imagine. Just a few years ago I brought enough pesos home to the US to pay for a taxi from EZE and and lunch for my next trip. Now I might be able to buy a pack of gum?

    Tourist looking for a Moderna booster shot in BA

    For what it's worth the Moderna booster is half the dose of each of the first two doses. So telling them it is your first shot you will get twice the dose of the normal booster. I have no idea what the implications, if any, of that are.

    Moving to BA

    I have used Airbnb more recently but before that I used this service. https://www.bytargentina.com/ I found them to be very reliable and easy to communicate with.

    Pixel 2, Google Fi , 2 phone numbers - 1 local, 1 US ??

    You could also buy another sim. I have had good luck with movistar. Recently though I have T Mobile which is free international roaming and 50 cents a minute for any calls. But you are right receiving local calls is a problem

    Rental Scams??

    You may want to consider Airbnb. I have had good experience with them on multiple occasions. Their apartment reviews and descriptions are usually accurate. They take U.S. credit cards, and Airbnb will back you if there is a problem.

    Pastrami On Rye Anyone...??

    My first post. Mishiguene ( yiddish word for crazy ) Lafinur 3368. Went there for lunch, they had a Pastrami piled on top of a potato pancake. It was a very unusual and tasty dish. I have a picture but can't figure how to attach it.
