Newcomer Is Buenos Aires safe?

Have a few friends that live in Bangkok and Phuket. They are loving life. I visited them a few times. Miss the food there. Plentiful and cheap and delicious! Rarely ever spent more than $5 for a meal there. Something I was surprised was how expensive alcohol drinks are there. I was going to a few places with them and the prices were as much as the States. We spent more on booze than food.

If it gets too expensive here I might check it out in the future. Only thing I don't like is the weather.

I hear you about the heat. I'm not used to it myself but everywhere is air-conditioned so that makes it more manageable.

Went to Bangkok last year and loved my time there! Very hot and humid but you're correct Jakoval. We went from AC hotel to AC Grab to AC malls to eat. It was very hot touring the Grand Palace but it was worth it! It was the first time that I got a massage each day of my holiday. They were so affordable there some days we got 2 in one day. We loved going to Terminal 21 to eat. Food there is so amazing and cheap! Also very safe there.

It is funny but we expected BA to be more dangerous with more crime. We know some Argentinean friends that were from Buenos Aires and they kept warning us how dangerous it is here but we just don't find that to be the case at all.
