Given that this web site only has a small number of users, in comparison to the many thousands of tourists who arrive in BsAs over the year, I wonder how much real revenue is actually received from those that overstay their visas and pay the fine. The vast majority of tourists come here on...

Look forward to meeting you when you get over - It's a great place to live, and the ex-pat community is very welcoming, as well as the locals.

I must be getting old - I'm home and in bed well before 4 am anyway!

Yep - Great to see Angel doing well, but as a fellow countryman of Rory Mc - I am so impressed by his performance these past three days. To go into the final round with a 4 shot lead is something else. Unfortunately i won't be able to watch the conclusion tomorrow as I am otherwise engaged, but...

But the more interesting game will be between Leinster and Leicester, I believe that the overall winner of the Heiny will be the victor in this clash. Personally I will be looking forward to the Ulster match on Sunday against Nrothampton, as an Ulster fan, however, I think we are up against it...

And there was me thinking you were talking about The Padres from San Diego - Such a shame... ;)

After visiting the new (to us) and lovely Treffen bar last week where we'll definetly return soon, we have decided to go back to the Puerta Roja (or Red Door as some people like to call it) that we frinked in back in January as the Irish one was away and didn't get to try it out. The bar is...

Would love to - But sadly will have to wait until Friday :( ..... Might see you then...

They were a great band :)

Shirley - We head out every week, on a Friday, for drinks, so keep your eyes open here on a Thursday when we post where we are heading. Great night last night, and lovely to meet new people - Hope to see you again next week.

Lynsey and Lisa - There will be lots of people ready for a good chat tonight, don't worry - Look forward to meeting you guys...

If it means taking money of you - Even on a feriado (This Saturday is yet another holiday), they will! :)

The small Guia T for 2011 costs around 8 peso's, and can be bought at most of the newspaper kiosks around the town. It's invaluable, and very easy to carry around when moving about the city. Can't help on the smokes I'm afraid, but I am sure you will Strike Lucky :)

April Fools Day, but no fooling Frinkers as we try again at Treffen Bar. Those that came out after St Patricks Day know that we tried to get here before, but they heard we were coming and shut for the night - or to be fair, they had run out of beer following a great St Paddy's Day there...

As one of the ringleaders of the Hash House Harriers here in Buenos Aires (and a 3:13 marathon runner), I can assure you that the group here, while they enjoy a beer after the run, enjoy the running part of the day just as much. Last sunday, for example, we had a good 10Km run in Nunez alongside...

As one fellow traveller from Ireland, who has been here for 18 months now, you will be more than welcome. One of the problems with teaching english, is that everyone comes to BsAs with that idea in their head, and quite frankly, despite what your read, there are simply not queues of locals...

Thanks to those who PM'd me about the Hash. Just so that everyone can know - Yes, bring your own beer mug to drink out of after the run. It's usually wise to bring a plate as well, and maybe a fork, although the Hares didn't say this time, so I'm not sure what we will be eating :).... Looking...

This is true - A proper board, measured out precisely as well....:D

Argentina isn't a member of the World Darts Federation (unlike Brazil), and I don't think the game has ever taken hold here at all. Aside from the electronic (substitute the word crap) boards mentioned above, it's a rare sight to see a bristle board at all in a bar. Having said that, I have...

Yep, it's another holiday weekend here in Buenos Aires, and the First Feriado Frinking of Autumn. Now, some might be away for the long weekend, but if you're not, why not enjoy the Feriado with some friends (old and new) in one of our favourite Brew Bars, Breoghans. Just in case this bar...
