    Opticians...

    If you look for an optician only (buying frame and lenses), I can recommend you Europtica at Av. Pueyrredon 1997, close to Av. Las Herras. I compared a lot and my first decision was optica blu in recoleta (Arenales1500), which was really bad (took 4 weeks, scratched glasses, so money back ). At...

    I am used to make Tahini, but without water. If you have a blender, you can also make this kind of "nut butter" from all kinds of nuts like peanuts (peanut butter), almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds etc. Just with rosted nuts, a little Oil and if liked salt, that´s it! (for peanut butter you can...

    Buenos Aires Zoo

    I can advise you to go there!!! Compared to other zoos in the world I have been, the animals live very good there. The zoo is one of the oldest in the world, so even the buildings and houses of the animals a worth to see. For me it is a very beautifull zoo and the animals come very close to the...

    Is fuyi worse than mosquitoes?

    I can´t imagine that they are healthy, but I used them for longer time without any problems (but everybody is different, so maybe you react allergic or so). The mosquitoes do not like the smell and stay away. The best way to protect your room from mosquitoes is the air condition! They don´t like...

    I have tried this several times, but it does not work! Sorry, I don´t think that there are ways to withdraw USD at any citybank. At the ATM you are asked if you want to take Dollars or Pesos, but only Peso works unless you don´t have a Dollar-based account at that bank. If I am wring let me know!

    bikes in BA

    It depends what you want. High Quality Mountainbikes cost much more here! But you can find everything. I could only imagine driving by bike on Sundays ore somewhere outside the city. Driving in that traffic and breathing the air behind the buses doesn’t seem very attractive to me.
