Ceviche and Gilani, you've both said to avoid them. Why?

Hi all, I was hoping someone could point me to the section of the law that says that rent can be paid in pesos (not just dollars). Similarly, is there a section of the law (either relating to rent, or just generally) that mandates what exchange rate has to be accepted. We've been feuding with...

Any chance you're selling a blender?

Are there expectations for other people to tip for the holidays? Cleaning services?

Trying to get a sense of prices. What do Ryan or Raymond charge for a basic cut?

We rented the Street Glide (http://www.goodbike.com.ar/en-motos.html) fro $180/day.

We used GoodBike Argentina (www.goodbike.com.ar), a little more expensive than some of the others, but with unlimited mileage included (also GPS, helmets, etc -- the owner is very friendly and helpful). Otherwise we looked at Motocare, Caracas Moto Tours, FlyDriveArgentina and 2WheelTravel...

Hi Michael, I don't have a bike to rent, but we just rented one for a 8-day trip to Salta (http://steph-and-ben.blogspot.com/search/label/motorcycling), so I'm happy to share info about rental companies if that would help.

My landlord says that because our contract is in dollars, we have to pay in dollars (or if we want to pay in pesos we have to pay at the black market rate of 5). Is that correct? All of the banks I went to today said they weren't selling dollars.

Did you ever find one? Or does anyone else have a suggestion? I'd like to make an appointment soon, and my Spanish isn't good enough to talk about medical things. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend any yoga studios in Palermo. The closer to Plaza Italia, the better. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I arrived a little month ago and promptly signed up for health insurance with Medicus, but haven't used it yet. I should, but I want to go to English-speaking doctors. Does anyone have suggestions for doctors in any of the following areas who speak English: Physical therapist Gyn...

Hi everyone, I'm taking a motorcycle trip from BsAs to Salta in November, and would like to do as much camping as possible along the way. I've been reading online, and have read that there are plenty of campgrounds, but can't find a comprehensive site/map/list that would allow me to plan out...

My boyfriend and I (both 26) got the very basic plan through Medicus for just under 1000 pesos per month for both of us (we added international coverage). Haven't used it yet, but was very easy to set up.

I also want to know. Anyone have suggestions?

Hi all, I've just moved here, and I have an apartment for the first month, but am looking for something longer term starting Oct. 1, through next August. I'm mostly looking for a 1 or 2 BR in Recoleta or Palermo, for no more than $1000/month, and ideally less. If anyone is renting out an...

I'm actually looking for a similar thing (though 1BR would be fine), so if you have any leads that you'd be willing to share, I'd love to hear them.

Hello, I'm moving to BsAs in September and am trying to research health insurance. I've been looking around on the forum, and see people mentioning CEMIC, OSDE, Swiss Medical, and Medicus but am having trouble getting much information on them/finding how much they cost. Does anyone have advice...

Any ideas what we should expect to pay for that sort of apartment? We'd like a furnished place.

Sorry for not replying for so long. I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 26. Thanks for the advice -- I'll look into that. I'm having trouble figuring if I should buy a round-trip ticket and change the rate (or whether that's going to be a nightmare to deal with). StudentUniverse also looks like it had...
