Hi all, I've been following the threads with interest pertaining to the enforcement of indefinite tourist visa renewals. I'm hoping to get some clarity on how I might be affected. This is my first trip to Argentina (from Canada) and I've been here less than a month. Before my 90 day tourist...

Does anyone know the average cost of the procedure in BA?

I can recommend Gabriela at Portofino Viajes. Paraguay 764. 4312-3139.

Would you like to photograph the city with a buddy to watch your back (and your equipment)? I would! I'd like to photograph architecture in some detail, and don't want to have my digital SLR ripped off when I'm distracted. Up until now, I've been using my compact digital camera and of course...

Can someone please recommend an English-speaking agency for apartment rentals? I am looking in Recoleta or Palermo for a 5-month period beginning in October. There are lots of online listings here with inflated pricing, and I don't mind paying a commission to get to the suites offering good...

Thanks gabor -- I live half a block away from Manolo and I agree -- it's a good safe bet and the service is excellent.

Thanks Ed and Philip -- I second Philip's question -- I think I've got a good foot on the average population here too.

Thanks Ries. No, I don't mean Wal-Mart, I just want to pay the going rate for clothes, not inflated prices for mediocre quality. I realize that taste is also a subjective term. I'm looking for classic, not young man trendy.

Can anyone please offer advice -- stores with nearest cross streets, please -- on where to buy good quality men's clothing at reasonable prices? I saw what I thought was tourist pricing on Defensa in San Telmo today. It gets better than this, right? I'm looking for jeans, sweaters and a sports...

I must have hit Desnivel on a bad night, as I'd heard such great things from others. The steak was a cut I would have been embarrassed to serve, and the value just wasn't there otherwise. Perhaps I should try them again -- but el federal first. Thanks!

Thanks very much, Spork and Iheartbsas!

Hi all, I've recently arrived in San Telmo near Cochabamba/Defensa and am slowly getting to know restaurants and cafes -- but would like some company and some help finding the best combo of price and quality. Is there a good sidewalk cafe around? The best set lunch value? The best steak...

¡Ay, caramba!

Yikes! :eek:

By "sports jacket" I mean suit jacket..

Can someone please tell me if most men dress according to European standards here, and if the style is as conservative as I've heard? I am wondering if my usual uniform of black shoes, dress/black jeans, long sleeve button down shirt, and neutral sports jacket will fly in BA. I also...

I've used Groupon in Vancouver since it started here. They have genuinely good deals that I've purchased many times, and I'd highly recommend them too.

@erocifeller - sounds great. I will send you a private message. Peanut butter? You mean I won't be able to buy PB in BA? Aaaaaaggggghhhh....

Hi Camilla, welcome! I arrive Wednesday September 1st after a few days in Santiago. I'm self-employed as a branding consultant/designer, and will be able to continue to work from home for my clients elsewhere in Canada... "home" has just moved a tad southeast. Now don't laugh... I was first...

Hola, I'm moving to BA on a six month trial starting in September, and hoping to have an authentic experience here. I'd like to meet people who want to share a coffee, a meal, or a tour... and can offer tips to a newcomer (this will be my first visit). My Spanish is quite limited at this...
