We paid the exact same price as quoted for credit cards - no surcharge for paying with cash. Perhaps it's different if you're flying internationally instead of domestically.

The Buenos Aires Market (http://www.buenosairesmarket.com/) this weekend and had some great beer by a smaller brewer called "Larsen." They had 4 types: Porter, Scottish Ale, Pale Ale, and Vostok. Not sure when/where the next market will be, but if you go, it's worth checking out this beer...

I've gotten so much great advice from this forum and wanted to share the outcome of my experience Buying tickets in cash - no problem. On 2 separate occasions I bought the tickets online from Lan, and then at the point of payment indicated I wanted to pay in cash. The website then provides a...

Thanks a lot!

For those of you who have lived in BA through past elections, what disruptions, if any, might we expect? Will things be closed? Do people protest? Also, my boyfriend flies back to the US tonight (saturday) - do you suspect there will be protests or other unusual delays on the way to the...

I wasn't aware of services like Pago Facil, but as I dug further into the LAN website, there it was. It seems so easy (though I have yet to make the payment). Thanks for turning me onto that! During the reservation process, it only asked for our passport info, and that's it. If my boyfriend...

I have read a lot of threads about buying airline tickets with cash to take advantage of the blue rate, but in terms of logistics, most only mention Aerolineas. Does anyone know of a LAN office that will accept payment in efectivo? Also, my boyfriend will be visiting on a tourist visa. What...

I was happy to learn from a quick search that there are quite a few Irish folk living in BA - at least more than I expected. My boyfriend is coming next week and he plays a wooden flute in Irish music sessions back home. Anyone know of any live Irish music in BA? A session that he could join...

I agree with the others - muchas gracias!!! Even better for me is it's walking distance from my home!

Local games. When in Rome... If I were following my sport from home it would be college basketball, and I doubt I'll find much of that here when the season rolls around.

Thank you both!

I'm new to the Belgrano neighborhood and am wondering where to go to watch futbol on TV. Watching matches in a bar/pub is so much more fun than watching at home. The neighborhood is filled with great cafes, but I haven't seen many bars. Any suggestions? I live near Cabildo and Plaza Belgrano...
