    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    I contacted her. She responded and said she is not a tour guide and just coordinates with other tour guides or companies. I will trust your word and see what it is like with her in comparison with the dozen other tour guide companies in Buenos Aires. I am still waiting on a response from her...

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    I talked to some locals tonight. They said tickets to argentinian soccer games usually cost 10k or 15k pesos. He showed me how to buy them online from the clubs. So given this info is it still worth it to pay $200 or $100 (100k pesos) from the websites aimed at tourists?

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    Do you have recommendations for tours around BA? I am seeing several companies offering this on tripadvisor. One friend told me to just do the hop on hop off bus, but I am not sure. The prices for the private tours are $50 on tripadvisor.

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    yes its next week against Godoy Cruz. The reviews are pretty bad though on tripadvisor. I am not sure if I will go. Is it bad to just go solo to a game? Is it really that dangerous to buy a ticket and watch the game? Maybe not Boca but Riverplate instead or another team?

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    Thanks i arrived today. This place reminds me a bit of NYC. I am in the north part of Palermo near Plaza Italia and the subte. I am surprised because I haven't seen too many bars here, but I looked on google and it looks like they are mostly deeper into the Palermo area near Plaza Sorana. I...

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    For western union, when I transfer money, do I transfer dollars or pesos? Originally I thought I would transfer dollars to exchange at the cambio, but doesn't Western Union match the same rate to exchange dollars to pesos? I arrive tomorrow (thursday) afternoon.

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    I like it here a lot. It's quite different than Mexico and Central America, and even the rest of South America. Lot of people here in Uruguay that look like myself. They mostly speak spanish and a few words of english. Montevideo is also pretty modern compared to most parts of Mexico (beside...

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    FYI I just got a discount code sent to me from Western Union for 50% off their fees. Do you think it is best, once I am in BA in case I need pesos (effectivo), to use Western Union? Or is it better to withdraw cash before I arrive in BA and go to an intercambio? or just withdraw $20 worth of...
