I'll try to make it.

The ferry company that is referred to above is Colonia Express. I used them this year to go to Montevideo for a weekend. Very easy to get to. You can take the C subway line to Constitucion stop and then catch a cab that goes for about 20 blocks straight down Brasil Street.

Huge fireball explosion at Ezeiza Airport just happened. Not sure the cause. They suspect that a small plane crashed into a fuel supply storage unit.

According to a recent NYTimes article Gay Russian are flocking to Argentina…who knew??? (Apologies to Sir Ian Fleming)

Yes,…there’s a ferry to Montevideo, it’s a little more expensive. I haven’t done it in a while. Here’s a link to the two major ferries that go there. Then there’s also SeaCat that has similar routes.

I forgot to mention that you don't need a local bank account to transfer money from the US. Xoom has various pick up spots around the city. In the beginning I use to use MORE on Libertad 1057 street right off Av Santa Fe. It's always full of tourists. Just remember to bring your passport and...

Sorry the downtown casino is near Plaza Independencia near the old section of the city. That’s the one I went to. The other casino is near Plaza Cagancha.

If you need to get your hands on U$D you can take the ferry over to Montevideo, Uruguay and go to one of the local casinos. I did it myself this year just to see if I could do it. I got $100 using my Amex card on the ATM machine inside the casino. Montevideo has 2 casinos one downtown near Plaza...

Yes I transfer U$D $$$ to my local bank here in BA. The US $ is converted to pesos. You need to create an account with Xoom. All you need is your email and the US bank where the money is coming from. You'll need the local CPU bank # where the $$$ is going to be deposited. Look for the “Quick...

I use Xoom, I've been doing it for years. It's a PayPal company. There's no transfer fee If you deposit $300 USD or more to a local bank.

Anybody has experience using the “free” Ecobici in BA?,…I just realized that anybody can use them. No DNI required. Apparently all you need is a credit / debit card and that’s it.

When I moved to BA from NYC I used Andreani to do the moving of some of my things. They were very helpful and I didn't have any problems with them. I didn't even have to go to the customs house to answer questions. Highly recommended.

You can buy them in Constitucion at the La Vicuñita store on Brasil 1217 next to the Medicinal Herbs place. It's one block from the RR station. Reasonably safe area. If you ever come to BA now you know where to go. I like to keep a small amount on hand in case I want to stay awake for...

FWIW,...I would contact Casa Puente. When I bought my apt. here I was able to transferred the money from my US bank account to their office here in BA. They're over 100 years old, very reputable. Not a cueva or anything shady. We even did the closing right in their office here in downtown BA...
