    Colonia Express bag checks

    I was expecting the dogs on the way out but thought that whilst they want people to bring dollars in they might want to catch people bringing in the dollars to supply the black market (e.g. undeclared sums over $10k). Also I can report that the Arg Peso buy rate was 40% higher than the sell...

    Just moved to Buenos Aires

    Thanks for all your advice. I didn't realise that San Telmo was such a no-no. Looks like I should concentrate my apartment search on Palermo or the nearby Las Canitas / Belgrano (although I don't have a car and have no intention of attempting to drive here.) Does anyone have a recommendation...
