This post caught my attention because I am helping a friend to figure out if he would be better off by taking a 10 day vacation to NYC or to BsAs. I dont live in BsAs but I've been there on business (trips paid by my employer). Considering he wants to limit himself to the main metro area we made...

$1275 + going Home for the holidays = priceless :)

You gotta time it! Dont be one of the first ones in line cause they will be on guard. Dont be one of the last ones cause they might look you more carefully.Try to be in about 2/3rds of the line, be chatty with whoever you are with, dont look the guy on the eye and casually "forget" to put your...

In an era of corporate blandness and anonimity it is a blessing we witnessed the works of a new Henry Ford. I am a Android fanboi I admit it but I also admit I wouldn't be one without the innovation Steve brought into the industry. I enjoy my dose of techno porn everytime I take out my...

Judging by all the House Hunters International episodes in HGTV it seems Nicaragua is now a hotspot for the surf loving expat crowd. San Juan del Sur looks awesome and real state is still cheap. Reminds me of Costa Rica 20 years ago. But then again, your partner is right in the sense that after...

Someone complained about the old fashioned wedding photographers in BA so I'm wondering if its a good place to buy used or vintage cameras and lenses, I could use some old manual focus lenses for my Canon DSLR... Are there specific streets dedicated to this kind of stuff?

I was going to post a new thread nut I found this old one so I am going to revive it for a quick question. So I take inmigrant and expats are not the same thing? Why is it that people referr to gringos, europeans and the like as "expats" but to bolivians,paraguayans, etc as "inmigrants"? When...

I think this is the feeling in most of L.A. not just Buenos Aires. I remember once in New York I felt weary of showing my camera, I felt observed but in reality probably I was ok. This was after spending time in Toronto where students used their laptops on the subway ride home. After I came...

I wish you had taken pictures from the cereal aisle I miss the variety so much! Where I leave is plan corn flakes land =( Also, what surprised me the most is how many pictures you were able to take without having a bunch of security guards descend on you. Once I was writing some product info...

If you can get around the airfare, Buenos Aires is a bargain compared to other LA distinations for tourism. Go to Sao Paolo or Rio and you will see the difference, thats why a lot of brasilenos go to BA for vacation. I am from Costa Rica and the first time I went there (a year ago) I was AMAZED...

PV,soy mae, Juli=Julio !

Thanks everyone for your responses including fellow tica nolonelyplanet! @MichaelG You wouldn't believe what $2000USD can get you in San Jose as upscale rentals start at around $500USD/month. Not sure at the beaches but I guess resort like rentals in Guanacaste (where in my opinion all the...

Hi! Although this is my first post I've been browsing this forum since many months ago. I've read some great discussions here! To the point this my situation. I am Costa Rican and I came back home from a 1 year ago from a 3 year assignment in Boston, MA. Still living with my mom and was ready...
