To whomever buys this, If you would like someone with whom to share this experience, I am excellent company. I will be happy to bring along a bottle of 2009 whatever-costs-18-pesos-at-the-supermercado to complement Le Ponsardin. PM me if interested.

I want to go to the Gran Premio Nacional (i.e. the Argentine Derby) on the 13th of this month. Anyone ever been? Do I need to get tickets in advance or can I just walk in like any other day at the track? Anything I should be aware of that I may be missing? Thanks, John

So my (first) tourist visa expires on the 22nd. I'm leaving the country (for Chile) for a long weekend on the 19th, and coming back on the 23rd. My first question is whether I can renew my tourist visa upon returning without first going to Migraciones, i.e. can I pay my 300 pesos and get...

What sort of a "not ... great experience" are we talking about? Drunk people ok, having fights picked with me not ok, etc. And, is there a party after every day at the Open? Is it at the field? And what's the M.O. with the party? Horses dancing tango? Also, anyone know what a ticket to a...

I'm looking into buying one of the Abonos and I'm curious as to the protocol. I assume Dorrego is the side in the sun, and Lateral means my seat is at the end. So, not great, but I'm more in it for the experience anyhow. Is there a dress code of sorts to these things? Maybe a stupid...

So, The only milk I've seen for sale in the supermarkets is sold unrefrigerated and in boxes that don't reseal. Further, once I buy it and bring it home and refrigerate it, the milk *always* smells a little funny. As a paranoid American, I tend to just toss it out. What's the deal. I mean...

So El Superclasico takes place on November 7, and I want to go. I understand tickets are near-impossible to come by. That said, I'm willing to pay a lot for tickets and wanted to know if anyone on this board had any knowledge as to how/where I could get tickets. Thanks! John

Please keep me in mind. But really.

I would be interested in lounging on the deck tanning and drinking mimosas and lazily chatting about Baroque and the god-damned bourgeoisie if you guys need some company when you get started. I have absolutely no ability whatsoever to contribute to the actual maneuvering of the vessel, but I'm...

Ladies, Any of you (former) UTI victims free tonight and want to grab a drink? I know lots of girls who've had lots of UTIs and would love to cause... er, meet some more. Holler at me! John

Ok so now I'm interested. What's the cheapest way to go? And how many people are planning on going? I've got no plans and polo is awesome. Also, PM me if you're actually planning on going.

I'm curious as to whether outside of large concerts (i.e. Rage Against the Machine this Wednesday) I can expect to find people selling tickets at a discount, as I could at a non-sold-out concert back in the USA. Anyone have any experience with this? Do people scalp tickets in the lawns? I...

What's the deal with the "Metro Nights" -- http://ozono.ticketportal.com.ar/eventperformances.asp?evt=4 -- anyone know? Is it a better show?

I'd like to see a doctor about a concern I have, and was curious the best way to do so. I think I had heard that it might be free? If not, how does one go about finding a general practitioner, and any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I'm not sure what was going on, but I was going to the horsetrack last Monday (the ritual) and there was a polo match going on across the street. I walked in for free.

Can you just buy tickets at the door? And, have any idea for how long the show is playing in BA? Don't want to miss this. Thanks! John

Any suggestions for a fun place to stay that's convenient for visiting Oktoberfest would be welcome. Prefer VGB but imagine everything there's already sold out. Thanks! John

You let me know when and where. I'll be the guy wearing the checkered leisure suit.

May I assume men's clothing is sold on Avellanada as well? And what about shoes? They have it all? My wardrobe sucks right now. Thanks!
