    Colectivos de Buenos Aires Web Map

    Well that map is much better than ComoViajo, and when travelling to province I will probably use it. Still, while in the capital I prefer the city government's digital map (mapa.buenosaires.gob.ar) quicker and more reliable.

    Espadrille or alpargata

    There's a shop at Plaza Italia, right on the corner of Santa Fe with Borges that always has bunches on display. Of course, when I want alpargatas I just head to Retiro and head into one of the little galerias on the side of the San Martin station. They are cheaper, but I suppose there is...

    How long has Subway restaurant been in BA?

    A good while. They are in the process of an expansion process as well, if I remember an article I read in La Nacion a couple of months ago. It is pretty much the same. Same sandwiches, etc. although some of the sauces are different here.

    In the past they have set up Bleachers for the pedestrian crowd with speakers for the sound. Anyways, I will just bring my phone with radio, and maybe I can convince my father in law to let me take the car.... Peace, Liam

    In Lieu of a Garantia

    Steve's post is your best bet to follow up on. What they probably mentioned at the immobilaria was a Seguro de Caución (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seguro_de_cauci%C3%B3n). This could possibly serve in place of a Garantía Propietaría if the owner of the apartment is alright with it. It serves...

    Pizza Hut and KFC

    If you look for good Pizza in BA you can find it, with fresh made dough, good toppings, etc. Come out to Chacarita right in front of Estacion Federico Lacroze, there are two amazing Pizza Places. The more famous one, with I would say lower quality, is El Imperio de Pizza. My favorite one with...

    Who are the future BAEXPATS?

    I would assume companies can hire spouses of Argentines and other foreigners with permanent residency without having to be registered. (Correct?) So I guess that is my answer to the question, people with family and connections to Argentina will be the future year-round expats while other...
