    Seeking Information On Boedo

    Why are you so worried that you need to get assurance? Buenos Aires is Buenos Aires, are you a baby?. Boedo is a barrio, nothing more, nothing less, I can't believe that one needs to check out a place before one goes there. Get real

    Bucquebus Ferry To Colonia

    Two men found stabbed to death in Palermo

    OK PhilipDT, you want to be sarcastic (lowest form of wit). What I don't understand is why almost everyone wants to moan about how bad they think things are here. The bit I don't understand is, if everything is so much better in their home place, what the hell are they doing here, surely the...

    Two men found stabbed to death in Palermo

    It seems to me that Palermo/Bario Norte are the areas where one is most likely to get robbed, I have lived in Buenos Aires, in San Telmo for 8 years and have never been robbed. I am often out late, returning from milongas, and usually I walk home from one twice a week in in Humbert#...

    Pay as you go cellphones

    Hi Kirst, as you have read, all are about the same cost, but not too expensive just for test messages. The best deal is to by a chaep phone as was suggested and use a Movistar prepay sim card (here they call it a 'chip') because on certain days, normally Thursday, they have a promotion whereby...
