I had no idea that one could exchange dollars for pesos at a Pago Fácil, much less that you could get a close-to-the blue dollar rate. Thank you for your tip. I will pass that on to my friends. In the meantime, I would still be interested in getting recommendations for a couple of more options...

I have friends visiting Buenos Aires next February. They will likely stay in a hotel located near Ayacucho and Posadas. Does anyone know of a place near there where they can exchange dollars for pesos at the unofficial rate?

I think you meant Pobre Luis, not Pablo Luis

That was very kind of you to check. I appreciate it.

I'll be back in BsAs on June 19 (coming from the U.S.). I booked 3 nights in Montevideo, June 25 and returning to Buenos Aires on June 28. Now I'm looking at round trip flights from the Jorge Newberry airport and I can't believe that for afternoon flights both ways (around 2pm) it's about $260...

Buenos Aires is a fantastic city! I'm sure you'll love it.

Someone told me yesterday that Uber is technically illegal in Buenos Aires & that credit cards issued in Argentina can't be used for Uber. So, just guessing, maybe getting a local chip prevents you from using Uber connected to your foreign credit card. But don't take my guess as a an answer to...

Vegas Golden Knights v Washington Capitals starts at 9pm tonight. Any good place to watch it near Alto Palermo ?

Thank you

We're headed back to Argentina for 4 months beginning June 1st. I just booked online a roundtrip from Buenos Aires to Iguazu. Is it still the case that I'm taking a chance that when I arrive to the airport they'll tell me I owe more since I'm a non resident?

My wife and I will be there

Just went to visit Megatlon in Palermo Shopping. They quoted me 4880 pesos for 3 months and 1200 pesos for the 4th month (i'm here for 4 months.) That is way, way more than my gym in the US. Anyone else using Megatlon? How much do you pay?

A lot of people we've spoken to say right now is not a good time to look for an apartment, that the economy is is in trouble, and that better opportunities for buyers will come in the near future. Others say no, cash is king, nothing is moving, and we should just make low cash offers now. I...

My wife and I would like to join.

Hi Tate: I'm from Vegas too (Henderson, actually). My wife and I have been to BsAs a dozen times over the past 25 years, most recently in 2011. We absolutely LOVE it. I hope you will too. Now that I'm retired we plan on staying for much longer visits, eg 3-4 months at a time, or maybe even...

My wife and I just returned from our 3 month stay in Argentina (and eager to return). For those who are closer to downtown, I, too, have a recommendation for studying Spanish: El Pasaje, major cross streets: 9 de Julio & Av de Mayo. We did 1 month, 5 days a week, 4 hrs a day for US$500 each. Not...

Exactly Ghost. The shock doctrine. This so-called debt crisis was jumped on in order to concentrate more power at the top. Recall that when George Bush The Younger began his second term, what was the first thing he pushed for? The privatization of Social Security. Though the effort failed then...

A few nights ago my wife and I struck up a conversation with an American woman while riding a colectivo through Palermo. She had two small children with her. Suddenly, as the bus turned, one of her kids fell out of the seat, flew across the aisle, and smacked the back of her head against the...

Hi Dolores, my wife and I met you on the bus last night. We promised to send you an email but we lost your card. Hopefully you get this message

It looks like my wife and I will not be able to go tonight. Party on without us. We'll look forward to the next one.
