    Uber Is Gaining Momentum

    I was in BA this past July and took about 10 different uber taxis. All but 1 of those rides were in cars way nicer, and with drivers way friendlier, than any radio taxi or remis I have taken in my years of traveling to BA. Many are people who work on the weekend to earn extra income for their...

    Lawyer Needed In Capital Federal [Building Pipe Burst]

    thanks for all your advice. We went to the administrator's office with photos and videos and she said they will cover the costs. I have reached out to several lawyers just in case the administrator decides to go back on their word. Thanks again.

    Just got back from vacation over christmas and new year during which time a pipe in my building had burst which flooded one of the bedrooms in my apartment.

    Tips For Bringing Our Dog To Ba

    I always wondered about this in case I got a dog in Buenos Aires and went back to the states in a cpl years but how did the dogs manage to stay quiet and not poop for a 9 hr flight? I imagine the courtesy of flying is to make sure the dogs did not go to the bathroom the entire time.

    Access To Hulu, Netflix And Pandora Without Vpn...

    Always be careful to turn off these proxy servers when not using the websites you need them for because MediaHint says they can "access your data on all websites" is pretty insane. Even though they do not serve ads or have a subscription model they must be making money somehow to pay for the...

    Seems like a fair enough neighborhood and Av Independencia gets much nicer around Av. Boedo. There seems to be at least 1 new apartment building going up on every block of Av. Independencia and I can see three from my window right now. Definitely seems like an up and coming neighborhood for...

    Follow-Up On Pub Crawl Attack From 1 Yr Ago

    Glad to see you are recovering and trying to get your life back to normal. I went on a BA pub crawl and had a great time and can't believe this happened. Best of luck! About the binge drinking culture, BA Pub Crawl was not really drinking. Sure people go there to have drinks at bars but nobody...

    Nice thinking and I would like to hear if it works. I attempted to do something similar with my Arg CC on hotels.com for a trip to Paraguay and was told the 15% would definitely apply. Best thing to do is call your bank.

    Etiquette. You Take A Taxi, I Take The Bus. Who Pays What?

    Two years ago I used to take taxis everywhere but now I am more comfortable in the layout of capital and reading a Guia T so I take collectivos and/or walk as often as possible. I have to say the amount of pesos I save every month has been huge and the GUIA T is not so bad once you are riding...

    How bad is Ezeiza Airport? would you do fly-in fly-out?

    EZE is not too bad. The immigration checkpoint is a bit of a madhouse, red is for first time paying entry fee and green line is for when you already paid the fee, with people cutting ahead and a bit of a wait. But the same thing happens when my Argentine girlfriend goes to JFK and has to wait on...

    The worst pizza in the world?

    I love NYC style pizza and coming here was a shock to the system. I don't think there are any pizzerias here that are drastically worse than any Pizza hut or dominos. I actually took time to get used to pizzas here but now that I have, they are quite good. Stop the hate and start to...
