My gps watch just died, and mind you, i do feel safer travelling around the continent on my bike with one. I understand from your message that controls are not automatic, but random. This leaves some hope.

Since electronics are so much more expensive here and the choice so limited, it seems that a simple solution would be to buy on ebay in the us and get them shipped to Buenos Aires. That solution seems too simple to be true. I d like to know if this is legal for new items, for second hand...

My argentine friend maximiliano will join, with possibly a friend of him.

How far are you from Ridavadia train station?

An argentine friend of mine confirmed she would join (Celina). 2 travellers friends from Canada showed interest in joining, i m awaiting a confirmation by tomorrow morning. Btw, the bus 130 goes directly from downtown to Maipu, Vicente Lopez (1.75 pesos) going thru Palermo in Libertador.

There are like said by most very few black people in Argentina, compared to the rest of South America. This is due to historical reasons (absence of slavery there). But, like any big city in the world, Buenos Aires is cosmopolitan. Indigenous argentines are sometimes called morenos/morachos or...

I have no problem exchanging 500 Euros bills (750 USD).

Okey Dokey Capt'n. Count me in. I have a few biker friends in town that could be interested as well, i ll let you know before Wednesday.

If you have a beard, bring some scissors. My scissors were confiscated by the plane company because i left them in my cabin bag, and i couldnt find any that would cut properly. Pharmacies only provide with nails scisors.

Do i need to book even if i m already there? :rolleyes:

I have a friend of mine who designs ballet shoes. If you are interested, i can give you his email address.

How can GDP/person accurately represent disposable income, since taxes are included in the output? How do the 20% wealthiest represent the AVERAGE population, as mentioned in my prior post. Are those statistics produced by the same office claiming an inflation of 10% a year in Argentina while in...

The average household income in Paris is 5000 USD (health, job and retirement plans already paid), i would bet it doesnt exceed much500 USD in Buenos Aires once insurances paid. 1500 USD a sqare meter is equivalent of 15000 USD a square meter in Paris. In terms of buying power, it s twice as...

You are very right, Pericles, location is very important, and Argentina is not ,imho, the best one at the moment for international investors, like it wasn t 10 years ago (unlike other markets). EMR, my few words of caution are obviously not adressed to people making a living off real estate...

Bill, if you cant afford to pay your bills here, you might want to think about other destinations. Ever thought about Bolivia? In other words, why should the argentine tax payer support your lack of education while you come from a country with more oportunities? I m puzzled...

I talked with a young belgian architect (30 yo) at last expat party in Vicente Lopez. She s been living in Buenos for one year and if i understood well is looking for job oportunities. Since she s been studying architecture here, she might know a large network of architects possibly capable to...

You will see once you are here that there is love for everybody. It will depend less on your physical traits, age than on your capacity to secure your partner financially. With 40% of the population under poverty level, what would you expect? The question is not if you will find affection here...

Thanks for that detailed and well informed report, Pericles. Your vision of the current B.As real estate seems a bit too optimistic to reflect exactly the reality of the market tho. There are true reasons why Buenos Aires shouldnt be price at the same price as western democracies capital...

Argentines are so naturally friendly, so how much do you value friendship "MRBA"?

Anyways, dont let those Brit Felons use the lame excuse of a football match to fade centuries of friendship between both countries...we love Ireland, we love Irish people and we love Donkey Piss pubs ;) I still dont understand why Platini lobbies to forbid video assistance for referees...
