    What would YOU do??

    I would go for it & follow your dream. I would love to do that now. I still dream of living in BA & actually have a place there now. But once you get old & too accustomed to luxuries you take for granted, it's really difficult to adjust. Plus once you get shackeled with debt & mortgage payments...

    The city has just declared a Sanitary Emergency

    There's absolutely no evidence that wearing surgical masks protects anyone from getting anything. The most that it does is to prevent widespread scatter of particles when a person sneezes. If you're polite & sneeze into your arm, that won't happen anyway.

    Bikes

    Where do you ride a bike in BA? Seems to me the streets & sidewalks are so crowded that it would be a challenge.

    Nice Places to Eat for Under 20 pesos

    I agree this place is great. However, it's already getting crowded. I was there at 2300 on a Sat & the line was out the door. The owner is very friendly & likes to chat with you if he's not too busy

    cheap hotels in BA, any ideas?

    Try BA4U apartments. I've rented from them twice, once in April of 2007 for 2 weeks & for the entire month of Nov 2007. I think I paid $40 USD/day for the place in Nov that was huge, nicely appointed & furnished with maid service. Check out their website.

    Why don't Portenos know the words "I'm sorry"

    This problem is not peculiar to portenos. It happens in our own country all the time. It really boils down to the fact that some people have class & manners & some do not. Unfortunately, we all have to associate with class-less boors from time to time & we just have to deal with them as best we...
