If I had $500,000 belive me I would not be working night shifts next week, but I would be tangoing in Buenous Aires.

I got caught out on this one, you can read the storty here http://tangogales.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/some-you-win-some-you-loose/ This was not Rapido as one poster said, it followed a completely different route, and I learned "do not take a bus just because it has the same number on it, stick...

I bought an apartment, does that count?

It seems you can't even commit suicide in Buenos Aires without a taxi getting in the way http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12270609

A word of advice: Mix tango with sex and not only will you get seriously burned in the love arena but you will also soon find yourself as a pariah on the milonga floor. I have been married for thirty five years and I love tango, my wife loves tango, we go to dance, with each other and with...

Isn't this Caballito not Almagro? Still that said I often walk back from Viejo Correo ( frente Parque Centenario) at two or three in the morning and the only trouble we have ever had is dodging the guys hosing the dog do off the pavements.:D

THE NGHTMARE BEGINS!!! and it's even more scary that I agree with her. Oh deary deary me.

I have travelled into Eze eleven times now and out the same number. Only once have I had anything openend or damaged, and that was because I was foolish enough to travel via the US. In Chicargo they opened my bags and tore open all my Christmas presents, I know it was there as they left me a...

I would love to come, but Romeo and I are venturing in the lands of Queen Elizabeth.

For artisanal furniture try Medrano between Guardia Vieja and Corrientes. There is also a good guy who will make whatever you want on Salguero just up from Humahuaca he has a lovely range of stuff all unfinished that he will finish to whatever you want. There are a load of bigger furniture...

yeh it's called getting older, get over it, or the worry will make your hair fall out:D

I waited outside The bank in Villa Crespo for the escribano when we bought our place and a queue formed behind us. Nobody knew why they were queueing, it is just in the porteño nature.:D

I live in the UK, we eat our evening meal at about six. We come to BaAs and eat at Ten that is ten plus three hours = one in the morning. I have strated eating the chairs by the time I get food.:eek:

You do not need the exact change, the machines will give change, but you can only use coins not notes. They are trying to run out a system, you can get a moneda card, from anywhere you see the "Moneda" sign. Obviously you pay to charge it up at that point $10 or $20 ar. You can use this on all...

You will die whether or not you bring a bike, unless your name is Russel Nash, but then "Who Wants to Live Forever?",

So because we do not have cheap labour, we should just give up? We still have the best engineers and designers, hey and the best shit man!

I am back in the UK at the moment. As this was a thread intended for the British, the "we" was the brits. You can always tell where I am literally, if not metaphoriaclly, by checking my blog. I have no secrets (as my wife keeps telling me) all my life, sad as it is, is there.

Also the drivers are much more amenable at night. If you have not reached the stop or are not sure where it is they will still stop for you, and tell you where to get off. Unlike during rush hour when they will close the doors on you if you are even seconds away.
