I used Xoom on my previous two visits which worked perfectly for me and I was happy with the exchange rate eventhough 15-20% less than on Florida. An Argentine friend offered to introduce me to their Florida Street banker. I received 9.4 for my 20's. 100's, I quess pristine would be best...

Acadaemia Buenos Aires offers a 'special' if your girlfriend and you study together. http://www.academiabuenosaires.com/novedades/index.php?id=150 And they do accept payment in pesos at the offical rate I am starting there on Monday (group classes start each Monday at most of the schools). The...

Yep, marriage is completely different. Congratulations!!

And me too! I am an enthusiastic eater; 'sounds' like I'd have lots of company. :)

Thanks to everyone for your help. I found an apartment, to my pleasant surprise, through AirBnB. I'm all set and appreicate the assistance I received through the Forum. Best, David

Thanks. I saw the posts as well. Availability was unclear, but I'll drop a note to the posters of the ads. Best, David

Check out the App: Hoy Milonga for a daily run down of the Tango Scene including lessons before Milongas, performances by local Tango 'Gods' and live music. My favorite resource for getting oriented is Sally Blakes' book Happy Tango. You can download it in Kindle format. Or you still may have...

So I arrived in BsAs without realizing how difficult it would be to find an apartment during high season. I'll be in town for another month to 6 weeks. December 8- to approximately January 12. I have looked at many of the realtor sites and am finding AirBnB most helpful. The pickings are slim...

Perfecto! Pretty close to where I am. Anyone know the time of the 'pregame' show? Or what time are being showing up?

I'm with you. Go Yankees and I live in DC.

I arrived Monday and am just now back online. Where is Sugar? I so want to join the 'party.'

When I visit BA in October I'll be drinking Malbec; however my favorite beers in DC are Dogfish Head. http://www.dogfish.com/ Sorry, I can't bring any with me for you to sample. :)

I do hear you. I would initiate a very small transfer from the States before I leave. Depending on how it goes, I would try for a larger amount in BA. I have alternative options which seem less advantageous. Although I am a big fan of the color Black, i am not a big fan of something called...

I hear mixed reviews of Xoom. However, Xoom conversion is a bit more than 6.0. IF I can make Xoom work for me, isn't this a better way to go than the Black Market? Perhaps pursuing by PM or better,private email address is better? Thanks

I guess by your post that you are "No" on watching the debates. :)

Gracious offer to host. Thank you very much. Of course I'll bring a contribution to liquid refreshments. I hope Expats on the Board weren't bailing from the States because of the current, 'interesting' state of US politics.

Great start. Any bars that might show the debates instead of football: American or Argentinian?

I'll be in BA for the month of October. The Debates are scheduled in the evenings of October 3, 11, 16, and 22. I am thinking that it would be great fun to watch them with a 'crowd' preferably with alcohol before, during, and maybe after. This election is sobering enough. Any suggestions of...

It's up to you to make sure I return again! Why not March, 2013. 1st-21st, October. Better? :) I would never want to disappoint your children or your grandchildren for that matter. Kids have to wait 17 days for their Xbox Thingy. They can meet David, the American 'Greek' bearer of gifts, at...

Nounou, When will you be in BA? I am visiting from the States for the month of October. I can tell you that Iznogud is so helpful that I am certain he chose his User Name while having a 'bad hair day.' I will be acquiring my BA chops as I go along, so I may not meet the Expat or Portenos...
