I took Rich One's suggestion and went today for an appointment at the Centro Medico Dignus, at Araoz 2279. It is one block from Scalabrini Ortiz y Charcas. I was really impressed. Whereas I pay 300 pesos every time I see a doctor at the German Hospital, at the Centro Medico Dignus it only cost...

Went down to the store, Casa China, to check out what Peony54(and Sleuth) guessed about the products all being blueberry juice. Peony54 is correct. While they probably carry 30 different brands of jugo de arandano, 100% of the products are blueberry juice. I did find out that cranberry juice...

I'm going down to that part of the city today so I will check and report back.

Thank you for that information, Peony54. I checked on Google translate. "Cranberry juice" and "blueberry juice" both result in the same translation in English. So I am not sure what the story is for " jugo de Arandano " products that they carry at Casa China. But they did seem to carry several...

I checked yesterday, to be sure, and they do carry several types of cranberry juice (jugo de arándano) at CASA CHINA, Arribenos 2173.

Thank you very much for the great posting, jantango! I'm glad I will be in Buenos Aires during the festival.

Exchange rate I got today for 100USD was 9.4pesos/dollar. The two places I frequent offered me that same rate.

Now that I looked at Ambito.com, I agree that getting 8.62 was good. The informal rate has been frozen so much lately I almost didn't look but, now that I did, I see that the informal rate did go up today 0.23% (to 8.55/8.60). Although I sometimes go around to see which place will offer the best...

For anyone who is interested, today at about noon I got 8.62 pesos per dollar(exchanged $100) at my usual place near Florida

I got 8.5 today(about 4:30PM). I checked about three places. The rate varied from 8.3-8.5.

The following article which appeared on May 20, 2013 in the newspaper, U.S.A. Today, lists an ice cream parlor in Buenos Aires as being one of the top 25 ice cream parlors in the WORLD! The name of the ice cream parlor is called, A.M. Scannapieco, at Av. Nazca 5274. I went out there to take a...

I exchanged dollars today(about noon). Everything seemed normal. I got 7.95 pesos per dollar.

I need to go to Uruguay, too, so last week I went to all the three offices(Buquebus, SeaCat, and Colonia Express) on Av. Corboba(they are all in within a few blocks of each other, between 800-900). From what I was told the SeaCat round-trip on the same day to Colonia costs 354 pesos, including...

This afternoon I had to change some dollars. Tried three different places(One in Palermo and two on Florida). The exchange rate they offered varied from 7.70 to 7.85 pesos per dollar. I can't understand it because on Ambito.com it says the informal rate is 8.52/8.57. The exchange places all said...

It's true, Joe. I have admit that I am kicking myself that I didn't listen to you and change a bunch of dollars when the exchange rate was 10! But you know how that goes. The rates at that time seemed to have no ceiling in sight and I guess I was a bit greedy. Now that I changed a bunch of...

There will be a very good FREE classical music concert at 11:00AM this Sunday(May 26)in the Teatro Colon. I will post the program below. They will start handing out the free tickets for this concert on Friday morning. For these concerts they usually give out four free tickets for each person in...

The dollar does seem to be dropping like a stone, Yesterday about 11:00AM I went to change some dollars. I have a couple of places that usually give me pretty good rates so I went to those. I have a friend who also needed to exchange some dollars, so we decided to try and "pool" them, hoping we...

I enjoy the classical music offerings when I am in Buenos Aires. For anyone who is interested in classical music, there will be a free concert tomorrow(Wednesday, May 8) at 13:00 in the Teatro Gran Rex, Av. Corrientes 857. A Russian pianist will perform. It should be really good. If you want to...

If your schedule is FLEXIBLE, I think a good way to purchase one-way flights from South America to North America is to use frequent flier miles on American Airlines. Maybe it would work as well, or even better, with other frequent flier programs but I am only familiar with American Airlines...
