    Wow, okay. This is more than I bargained for. I think I'll just forget Argentina; if it doesn't even offer a significantly lower cost of living then there's really not much left for me other than the weather and I can find that in any number of places. For Ries: Yeah I kind of do live in...

    Cleanliness of Palermo or Other Safe Neighborhoods

    It pretty much all started when I was reading about different countries and came across the Blue Dollar rate. It almost sounded too good to be true. But I looked into it, found out that yes, that's how it works. Then I saw some beautiful photos, looked Argentina up on the US travel advisory...

    Cleanliness of Palermo or Other Safe Neighborhoods

    Cleanliness of Palermo or Other Safe Neighborhoods

    I just read multiple posts regarding the prevalence of dog waste. I recently returned from Cozumel, Mexico and was disgusted to see it on the sidewalk there, except for the one main street along the water. If I find an apartment in Palermo or Recoleta will I be surrounded by waste and garbage...

    Solo female looking for a safe place

    Thank you so much! I'm just your average white lady I suppose. I don't have expensive jewelry or a really great phone and I don't wear expensive clothes. I'm 5' tall and I weigh 105 lb. Right now I am really drained from a medical condition (which I believe will improve in the climate...

    Solo female looking for a safe place

    Hello, I have never been to Argentina but I had planned to go in February this year. I don't know what to think because I have read a lot about Buenos Aires being among the safest places to go but today I just read a post on another site about a man who was mugged in Palermo. As a single...
