    Where to watch a football game?

    A stream of consciousness There are ~10 first division teams within a 30 minute drive from CABA For most teams except Boca, River (and maybe Independiente and Racing) you can buy tickets in person, either day of game or few days before. Other than those four teams, the others do not sell out...

    Bag drop or storage at AEP, EZE, anywhere?

    I don't know the answer but there are for sure many in Palermo and also I believe places like Teatro Colon and other tourist destinations have them. I would also be surprised if AEP didn't have one. I've never used one so perhaps others can recommend one.

    Been here a month Now

    $1500/month is a lot, of course it depends on quality but you can stay in very very nice 1bd places on airbnb for a month for that price. If they are rated 4.8/4.9+ you shouldn't have too many problems. I understand though that you've found a nice place and want to stick with it, but i would...

    Not seeing cash option on apps like Uber/Cabify/Rappi

    1) not sure but probably geo blocked to turn cash on from USA so might work when you arrive 2) Both are the same tbh. I preferred Rappi personally. Rappi Prime is worthwhile. US card should work fine and in my experience 95% restaurants take cash.

    Time needed in advance to book temp apartment

    Yes just check airbnb to see what you can expect with one days notice. Of course more choice if you book more in advance but often good deals available for hosts discounting. We are coming into peak season now though.

    Awful rental situation

    Yes also not sure what dates you are selecting - if its starting today then its of course going to be tough to find apartments that have no bookings coming up in the next month. If I search for a months availability but with flexible dates then I get 350.

    Western Union money transfer

    It's currently 10% difference (Western Union vs Visa) for GBP and seems to be pretty similar for USD as a general rule, which can be meaningful enough depending on how much you are spending. But overall I agree. Western Union = long queues + often getting 200 & 500 pesos notes + have to hold...

    Don Julio...best Steakhouse in the world?

    Yes to be clear I wasn't saying it was expensive compared to global standards just that I think it has seen ~100% inflation in USD terms in last 2 years.

    Went last week for the first time in a couple of years. Felt meaningfully more expensive than before. I seem to remember ~$15 for a steak, now ~$40.

    How would you get a simple medical test done as a tourist?

    Surely just get the private test done in UK? And even if that takes a few days to process, then have them email your results to you?

    Western Union money transfer

    Has anyone tried picking up pesos at the WU in EZE airport? Is it possible or do they not have enough pesos to do a moderate (~$300) sized transaction?

    Western Union money transfer

    Lunar's message is helpful above. When searching on the online locator (https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/find-locations.html) - go to more filters and include "Start online, finish in store >> Pickup cash"
