5 pesos for a chip at many Retiro bus station stores. Or I also bought one right a the Belgrano C train station. ALso 5 pesos. No questions asked and no passport needed. No need to pay 20 pesos.

I just went through the same thing. You just need to ask the landlord. They'll usually take pesos at the current exchange rate. Aside from that, the cambios are the only way to get greenbacks. The ATMS provide the dollar option but Stanexpat is right. You need a local account in dollars to...

Thanks to everyone!

Does anyone have a dentist recommendation? It's not necessary but would be nice for the dentist to have some level of English. I don't mind having a go in Castellano but just in case I can't get my point across. Also - anybody know what the cost of visiting a dentist is like around BsAs. I...

I'm good for 10pm at El Taller. Can always get food around there. My number is 15 5756 1218. Cheers, Ted PS - El Taller has a good number of tables outside overlooking the lively Plaza Serrano. With the nice weather I haven't seen anyone sitting inside.

Hi I've been in BsAs for a little over three weeks with just as much time working on Spanish. I'm not from MD but lived for 16 years in DC. Anybody want to meet in Palermo Friday or Saturday night? We can go from El Taller right on Plaza Serrano and go from there. I haven't been out a lot...

Hi I'm new here in BsAs and am trying to sort out a pub to watch rugby. Anybody know of a place around town to catch Heineken Cup, Super 14, and the upcoming 6 Nations matches? Cheers, Ted

I go to the Well Club. I only use the gym part so I can't say anything about classes. But my location Arenales has spinning classes, yoga, pilates, and a pool. You can pay AR$140 for month-by-month membership or AR$345 for 3 months. I signed up for 3 months. The Arenales location is in...

Great idea to set a time and location. But life is hard for me and I'm going to Punta next Friday. Have fun and I hope to catch up at another time.

Vanessa, What is your rate for Spanish lessons?
