    These are a few of my favorite things...

    sweetdee. there is a small fixed gear scene but very marginal and in its infancy. your best bet for a cycle scene would be to check out the critical mass events once a month. i've included the link to their facebook page and their flickr. i know of a few people who are friends of friends who...

    Any atmospheric bar in Almagro?

    didn't know how to link so i just quoted an old post of mine. hope it helps....thoroughly recommend el conventillo de teodoro, ticks both 'off the beaten track' and 'low-lit' boxes nicely.

    Blonde small girl in Buenos Aires. How dangerous will it be for me??

    you're pathetic. this is so not a laughing matter. this thread was started as a genuine request for help regarding safety in this city. i did suspect it to be a joke but discounted it because i thought that would be in really poor taste. oh well.

    Blonde small girl in Buenos Aires. How dangerous will it be for me??

    morocho would be a male, which i am assuming is what you meant. i am shocked and horrified by what you have told me. i am truly sorry this happened to you. have you reported this to the police? did you flag the car down on the side of the road or call from home? was it a firm you regularly...

    Blonde small girl in Buenos Aires. How dangerous will it be for me??

    IFMGA PLEASE DO NOT SCAREMONGER. reputable radio taxi/remis firms are the safest way for young and old females alike to travel around this city late at night. my grandfather is 82 and is the most fastidious and over cautious individual i have ever met, especially when it comes to safety/well...
