Ladies and Gentlemen.....I have lived here for 6 months per year now for the past 5 years....2 times I have attempted to be robbed with the old trick of being sprayed with juice colored to look like pidgeon caca....It did not work...as I yelled for the police in broad daylight and the hooligans...

Just remember.....in any other country that has native speaking spanish speakers.....and out side of Buenos Aires......THEIR spanish is the butt end jokes of most.....Hang in there, and remember your spanish in most cases is better than their English.....I have only a few times encountered...

If you have cable....it will be on ESPN en espanol at 1900 or 7PM....but not quite sure which bar will be open to watch it....Perhaps my suggestion is to either find a hotel bar with cable hook up or a friend that has cable.....hope that helps a bit

Actually years ago....not sure when....but prior to the annual gay parade...a large colored condom was placed over the entire longgggggg thing.... All of our friends gay and straight were smiling.....:):):) Including portenos....

I am ex airline.....and I would suggest you check out www.kayak.com They will direct you to the lowest price avaialbe. Also try and travel midweek Tue/Wed, as airlines tend to lower prices during these dayzs If you are looking to travel over Easter....your price selection may be severely...

I and my friend....both expats from Chicago....whom split living between 6 months in Bs.As. and Guadalajara Mexico were standing outside Galleria Pacifico on Viamonte between Florida and San Martin this past Sat. eve at 2000. We were taking photos of a wedding at the church on San Martin...

Matt....I am so sorry....I live in the Centro....always avoid going out late at night and am always with someone else.....As we do....it might be advisable to now take a cab door to door.....It is sad that in such a beautiful city....one has to have this happen....but as others have...

I have been living now in Bs.As. for one month and will be here a minimum of 5 months more. I and my friend found this great bar called Tres Quarts in the Puert Madero area. The bar prices are the best I have seen in Bs.As. The dueno Ariel Maier is very friendly and he employs a winning staff...

Jeow....I used to work for an airline....Japan Air Lines for 28 years.....Now I pay for tickets....Living in Mexico part of the time and using mostly Mexicana....I totally know where you are coming from. Aerolineas does have this nasty habit of cancelling flights and over booking to the point...

Being an American, I have never run across an American with the maple leaf sewn onto his backpack.... As for Argies being referred to as gringos....in 95pct of the cases in Mexico and Central America...this results from jealousy of their light skin and stunning looks. You mention Brazil...well...

I live 5 months in Ajijic Mexico which is a large ex pat community of American/Canadaian retirees, and 7 months in BsAs. There is no comparison as to living in Mexico versus Argentina. In Mexico we are referred to often times by mexicanos as gringos...which at best is a very unkind word for...

I live in Ajijic Mexico for 4months and BsAs for the remainder of the year...I was forced to leave the states five years ago, as United Health Care refused to continue my coverage due to a pre exsisting condition after I early retired. My only option was to be lumped into an Illinois state...

I live 6months in Ajijic Mexico and 6months in Buenos Aires in the San Telmo area. Quite frankly, BsAs. has Mexico beat by miles.....And the biggest plus for BsAs. is safety. USA´s neighbor to the south has eons to go before it catches up with Argentina. Yes in the surrounding areas of...
