Any good carnicerias in Palermo Soho? I never lived in this neighborhood before. Lots of restaurants/bars but was wondering if there is a good carniceria here, and also if there are good small shops for buying high quality fruit, eggs, etc.; I'm not even sure there are good supermarkets nearby.

Are they still around? Regardless, I'd like to know where to find the best rates. I'm curious about Palermo, there used to be one on Scalabrini Ortiz about a block or two up from Santa Fe walking toward Cordoba, on the left side.

Anyone have experience in Cordoba?

Assume you're being sarcastic. While this is great to show your "wit" to other people on this board who know you, it's totally useless not just to me but others who are curious about visiting this or other places...this kind of thing keeps happening with questions about Buenos Aires itself too.

I know this is a board about Buenos Aires and I apologize about asking RE other cities. But I was curious if any of you have lived in Cordoba and if you think it's a nice place, and what it might be like. Is downtown Cordoba nice?

Is it interesting, is it nice to live in for a month or two now? Anyone have experience there?

Thanks bigboxer. Is there a way just to get internet? Without TV or phone...I don't need them I want to know the cheapest way to get the best internet possible. 1000 pesos a month is pretty steep, that's like over $50 per month for me, which adds to what I have to pay on top of the rent. Do they...

Thanks--what about internet service? What is the best one, and about how much does it go for per month?

It looks like I might rent an apt. where I'd have to pay electricity/gas and internet for the first time. I'd like to know what I'm getting into and especially about how much I should expect to pay for electricity and for internet. RE electricity, it's a one-bedroom apt. of normal size. Of...

I never knew about this, is it true? What are the requirements/issues with this? Are there restrictions, is there paperwork? I thought I had to go to Uruguay...that's how it used to be. Pensador when you say fill out paperwork, is it very difficult, onerous? Do they make you jump through hoops...

Is it true that you can receive dollars in Uruguay? Are there any limits on how much and is it very easy, that is, is there a lot of paperwork or bureaucracy to receive just a couple of thousand or something with, say, Xoom?

can the mods please erase this thread?

I fell out of touch with him and my old email is locked. If someone knows him or if he sees this, please reply!

I'm not in Buenos Aires at the moment, but in Brazil. I'd like to come there soon. Unfortunately last time was a while ago and I lost most of my contacts (anyone seen Matt84 lately btw?) Was wondering if one of you would go take a look at an apartment for me. It's near Callao and Santa Fe. Lady...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend nice villages in the Andes, maybe picturesque, with fresh mountain air and a German vibe, although not necessary. I'm not talking about places like San Martin de los Andes, which are expensive resorts. I mean nice villages, quiet, not too expensive that...

Airbnb usually has inflated rates compared to other resources. I'm wondering, if the price has gone up or the market has changed, what the cause could be. Is there a larger number of expats renting apartments by the month? More foreign students? What's happening.

I'm trying to find an apartment on craigslist and by other means. Am I getting a wrong impression, or has the market shifted in a way that's not favorable to us? Craigslist is unusable at the moment. I don't know if this is because there are in fact fewer apartments than before or if it's...

Thanks. The truth is I really don't know what precautions to take even in Argentina, so a written online guide somewhere would be useful. My main concern is, let's say, I need R1000 or R3000 tomorrow, how hard is it to actually get it? There or the equivalent in Buenos Aires? I'm sorry if these...

Would appreciate any advice on this, even by dm. Must make plans for Brazil and don't want any complications or surprises.

Might go to Rio and would like to know if it's easy to redeem bitcoin of reais there. Has anyone tried it and do you run into problems, red tape, taxes, fees or any such thing? Just would like to know how easy or streamlined the process there is. Thanks!
