I lived in Buenos Aires in 2011-2012 (I used this forum back then) and will be back for a week this month. What's changed that I should know about? - No more exchanging dollars on the black market right? I can withdraw from ATMs. - Taxi Ezeiza still operates from the airport. - What else? What...

We just got back from skiing at Las Lenas, and after having a hard time deciding where to go (Las Lenas, Portillo, Catedral, Chapelco), I figured I'd share our experience with other travelers. In a nutshell, I found Las Lenas overrated and overpriced. To me, the only on-piste trails worth...

Does anyone know if Medicus has the equivalent of a walk-in clinic? I have basic Medicus insurance here, but never got a primary-care physician. I'm now sick and would like to see a doctor. What's the recommended way to do that? Go to one of the Medicus hospitals, make an appointment with a...

Does anyone have experience staying in Los Molles to ski at Las Lenas. Would like to get some skiing in, but cannot afford the cost of staying on the mountain of Las Lenas. Any recommendations on where to stay?

The bus ride today from Abasto to Plaza Italia cost $1.50 (with a sube card). When did they officially raise the prices?

Possible? Where can you do this?

I'm looking to find an apartment for a visitor for 10 days in July (16-25). Somewhere between Abasto and Plaza Italia. If you know of anything, please PM me.

I saw both suggested on another thread for daytrips that aren't Colonia. Would anyone recommend either? Are there better options? (And I've read the threads about not needing to leave, and I might well not, just wondering if there are other daytrips worth considering.)

Looking to do some browsing today. Does anyone have any favorites?

There's one tonight. Has anyone been/would you recommend it? And anyone know what it costs? (They need a better website)

Can anyone recommend any kosher apartments or hotels? I'm trying to find accommodations for guests coming into town. (Similarly, would love to hear if anyone knows of good kosher restaurants). Thanks.

My mom is coming to visit at the end of May and I'm trying to find a place for her to stay. We're near Charcas and Thames and she would like to be close to us. Does anyone have suggestions for where to look other than AirBnB and ByT? I'd like to find her a place that's not too expensive ($US300...

I live near Plaza Italia and most of the time when I go to the Disco at Paraguay and Armenia, the line reaches toward the end of the aisles and it takes 30+ minutes to checkout. At the Carrefour a few blocks away at Scalabrini and Soler, there's hardly ever a line. Aside from the produce being...

I know Tuesday is, but what about Monday? Will banks and things be open?

I have yet to use mine, and am kind of intimidated by the process. Can anyone with Medicus tell me a little what the process has been like for them? If I just go to the hospital and go to the dental floor and tell them in mediocre Spanish that I would like a cleaning, will that work? Will I get...

Another apartment in our building was robbed last night so I'm wondering if there's anything we should do to protect our own. We were thinking of getting renter's insurance (through Mapfre?). Any other suggestions?
