    New to BA...staying until August

    Gibraltar bar sounds good, especially since they may have IPA! I'll get there around 9, hopefully it won't be too busy then and we can find each other. I will also email those who have left their addresses a little later on...

    New to BA...staying until August

    Seems like we've got a good group that is interested. I have never gone about trying to arrange something like this, but we'd better go ahead and throw something on the table and see if it works! So, how about next Friday at Bar Seddon in San Telmo, say around 9pm? I'm not sure if they accept...

    Rental Scams??

    I have heard of some scams, such as people reserving through an agency, only to find that the apartments didn't even exist once arriving! That said, I recently moved here from abroad and did what you are considering with no complications. I was required to pay $370 or so up front via paypal...

    Carbonated water via siphon

    So, I've read here and there that BA is one of the few places that still has restaurants that serve water with a siphon spout--which makes "agua con gas" as it is poured--and that it is quite good and worth seeking out. Can anyone recommend some places that serve water this way? If you were to...

    football tickets and bands

    I am still seeking out some good resources for keeping tabs on what is going on around town, but I do know of these two sites which may help some for #3: http://whatsupbuenosaires.com (local stuff) http://www.ticketek.com.ar (larger scale events, including DJs)

    How is this area of town?

    Thanks for informative input everyone. What about Mexico & Piedras? Is that San Telmo or Montserrat?

    What's the secret to happiness in Buenos Aires?

    A quick rant, hopefully not too political :) People everywhere, but especially in the Western world, owe it to themselves to look past the campaign of misinformation and fear regarding "socialism". It is not a system that tries to make everyone the same or take away individuality, but simply to...

    How is this area of town?

    Thanks for the responses all. I was initially leaning towards that area because the apartments are very nice and modern and fit my two criteria (balcony and internet!). However, it seems like it isn't the safest neighborhood and will also be rather noisy due to proximity to Av. 9 de Julio. There...
