Oh... step (4) a certificate of health within 10 days of flying...

I am in the process of getting ready to fly to BA with my cat. I am flying on Air Canada from Montreal... the process so far has been (1) a phone call to Air Canada within 24 hours of booking my ticket; (2) a preliminary trip to the vet for a general check-up and an update on vaccines; (3)...

I am looking for a listing of live music. More specifically, I would like to go and see Orquestra Tipica Criolla. However, I don't know where to find where this particular orchestra might be playing and when. It is a tango orchestra, not classical or anything like that. Does anyone know...

I've been dancing for about a year and have taken many, many group classes. It is pretty clear though that I won't progress very much if I don't start taking private classes. And I really do understand that tango teachers need to make a living and ought to be fairly compensated for their time...

What is the going rate per hour for a private tango teacher? I realize that there are many, many tango teachers out there. I also realize that there are many who specifically target the tourist trade. So far, I have been quoted 50 USD, 75 USD or more per hour. That is too much for me. I am...

I will be returning once again to Argentina, this time on December 15th. I am wondering what the general consensus is on the blue dolar? My choices are (1) to wire money now and take advantage of it at 14.5 or (2) wait until December. I see that it hit at high...

I do not have a stamp in my passport saying that I paid the reciprocity fee. Instead, I print and carry a piece of paper that proves that I paid the fee online. I must present this piece of paper before I get on the plane in Canada, at whatever point of connection (i.e., Santiago or Sao...

The reciprocity is NOW tied to your passport. It expires when your passport does. I went to Montevideo in July and forgot the piece of paper stating that I had paid the five year price. No problem... I thought. I will just print a new one. But I couldn't. All of my information had been...

I personally don't use ATMs. Learned my lesson a long time ago! My friend has been in BA for quite some time, so I am not sure why she is having difficulties now. She works freelance and gets paid into a UK account and needs to withdraw money for living expenses. She says the card keeps...

Just received a message from a friend, asking me if I was having problems using the ATMs here. I never use them, so couldn't answer. She said that other foreigners were having difficulties also. Is this true? Is anyone else having problems withdrawing money from ATMs using a foreign bank...

We took her to Otamendi on Saturday night when the symptoms were really bad. She had to pay 10,000 pesos for a deposit and then paid $800 USD (on a Canadian credit card) for the tests. The doctors did not even think that she was suffering any kind of neurological disorder, despite the fact...

My friend from Canada and is having unexplained health issues. The symptoms appear to be neurological (dizziness, slurred speech, etc). She would like to have an MRI and CAT scan done, immediately. She is willing to pay cash. We are both completely ignorant of the Argentinian health care...

My friend missed her connection between Santiago and EZE. And her bags went ahead to BA without her... Has this happened to anyone else? Is she justifiably paranoid in thinking the bags will be stolen? They will be unattended for at least 3.5 hours. Or will the airline (Air Canada( put them...

In BA: Iphone stolen the first year I was here. Last year, I had at least four subte cards go missing (pick pocketed on the colectivo). This year has been good so far. In Montreal: Apartment broken into at least three times. One bike per year stolen (so fifteen bikes in total).

One could watch the game anywhere, really, as it will be on all TVs in every shop, restaurant, bar, etc. But any place in particular? I thought of going to La Biela because it is close to my apartment, but I'm open to other suggestions.

I transfer the USD I need to my Argie friend's bank account in the US. He gives me dollars here and then once a week I change them on Florida at the office of a travel agent.

Okay, problem solved. I don't know how or why… Muchas gracias anyway!

Sorry, I should have been clear. It is not WIFI-- I want to connect to mobile internet.

I bought a SIM card from Personal for an unlocked iPhone from Canada. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the WIFI to work. Customer service at Personal told me that I had to remove the battery in order to activate the WIFI. This seems quite extreme because it requires special...

I take it that Will has left Buenos Aires?
