So I am back (in Canada) and would like to pay back for the good advice I got.. Advice #1. Try to schedule flights to arrive early ~ 9-10 am, so if there is a problem with the apartment, the rental agency can find you a new one in the same day. (they have to contact the owner!) Advice #2...

Looking for a good quality, loose leaves as well as (sacrilege ;-) tea bag style. Preferably with only little of carcinogenic Benzo(a)pyrene :o)

On a mozzie topic... How bad these suckers are on the Uruguay coast North of Punta del Este? Is camping possible there without a large blood donation?

Thank you Hellek, I am not a pro. It looks like that my plans to go to camping/swimming in Uruguay (Cabo Polonio, Valizes, Punta del diablo) might not materialize, so I am looking for an alternative to stay cool & resonably fit.

I would join you there 4now ;-) every morning (I will arrive a couple days) alas I will be in the downtown area so every day is doubtful. Do they sell daily passes?

Which one you recommend and why?

The reading of the thread was riveting! My apologies for masquerading as a woman. I guess, not many guys ask for the custom made tango shoes ;-) In any case, I thought that my nickname, a..dam, would be a dead giveaway. Not to mention my invitation to celebrate all those very useful tips by...

Have an unlocked quadband. Where to buy SIM card at the EZE, or elsewhere? And what is the cost per min so I will know how much airtime to get...

Thank you for the advice... At this point I am committed to this address. I got too many tips where to rent, Steve… Regarding radio taxi, I already got two suggestions: Taxi Premium (5238 0000) 4374-6666 Taxi First SRL 11-4765-7480 My Spanish will be very basic, and I gather that the...

So this will be my first time in BsAs. I have rented apartment on Reconquista close to Viamonte. Going there early in January for a month to dance tango... and maybe hit Uruguay beaches. Depends on tangueras ;-) I would welcome a few cents of your collective wisdom about living at this...

I will be there in a couple of weeks so the question is: which place serve thin or thick crust?

I am a Canadian but I saw in US T-shirts with the logo FBI - Female Body Investigator... If you are offended, just ignore me, I am under the influence ;)

I am coming in January and first order of business will be custom made shoes which can accommodate orthotics (i.e. the volume of the shoe must be bigger than a regular shoe and thus require a special order) I would appreciate any leads where to order....

I meant corner of Esmeralda & "Marcelo T. Alvear which is one block on the other side of Av. Santa Fe and becomes Charcas in Palermo" So, I gather, recommendation is that I should rent in Recoleta or Palermo?

Plan to rent place around Esmeralda and Alvear... Found this location as a compromise. Shopping, transportation, entertainment, etc. But if the collective wisdom directs me elsewhere, let it be ;-)

I just got official replay which confirmed predatory pricing and discrimination of US and Canadian citizens. I am getting car from Thrifty, it is cheaper. To other US and Canadian citizens Boycott Europcar! This is the rental company renting via uruguaycar.com

I phoned toll free# in the States given at uruguaycar.com The guy said that the reason they give worse insurance coverage to Yankees and Canucks is that those guys have extra coverage on credit cards. ;-) I can live with that but I am not putting up with paying 100$ more just for living in North...

oops... forgot to type the website as uruguaycar.com I am coming Jan/Feb to dance tango and make a week long dash for the beach... If I like the place might come back one day for a longer stay :o)

I have been perusing prices on uruguay.com for Jan/Feb 2011 For residents of US/Canada they want ~400$ per week with only basic insurance For other residents (e.g. Europe, Australia) they want ~300$ with full insurance. How come? Shall I use my other passport? :) Gracias, A
