Wow that is insane that mosquitos are still around with that cold. Sucks about your husband and face. That happened to me once and I'm slightly allergic so my face was all swollen!

Wow how long do these suckers live? I thought the colder weather would wipe them all out. I assume outdoors they are all gone? I see the Dengue numbers and a LOT this year...

Have you gotten any in the ATM machines?

Wow this is great to know! I never heard about it before. Do they charge for this or is it free?

Wow! That is some cheap rent although I don't know anything about Salta.

I had heard Don Julio was one of the best steakhouses in the world but #1? Wow, I see this list online. I guess if it's ranked #1 in the entire world the prices don't seem out of line then.

Don't feel bad Avocado. My government in the United States is broke too but they stole $60 billion dollars of taxpayer money to give to Ukraine. Bigger amount for Israel. Not fun!

Wow thank you everyone! This is the absolute best forum on Buenos Aires. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Thank you!! Also, thank you @Pobre Luis for posting that receipt. Wow that is still very affordable compared to the US. Portions must be huge if 6 people are sharing only 2 steaks.

Ok thanks. I just googled it and read this. http://southernconeguidebooks.blogspot.com/2014/12/croissant-v-medialuna-french-argentine.html https://thefrugalfoodies.com/medialunas-vs-croissants/

Hey!! By the way forgive my ignorance. Are medialunas just croissants? Are they the same thing? I read someone that said something about sugar in them? They have sugar in their croissants there? That seems strange. I do understand about not wanting places to get too popular. My friend said...

Thanks everyone for these great posts!

My friend there says that locals spend money as fast as they can while it is worth money. It looks like the exchange rate is fairly stable since the new President took over. If anything the dollar seems like it is gaining ground. I hope by next month it goes even higher. That helps for tourists.

Thank you for the suggestion of Grabr @Betsy Ross. I suggested it to my friend and she successfully used it for several items. She said it was fairly quick and only took a week. Thanks!

I'm still planning on coming to Buenos Aires in July. What is the best cut of steak to order at a restaurant? I'm coming with a friend that loves steaks but I heard the cuts of steak there are different vs. the US? Thanks.

Cellphone theft must be very popular there. My friend and her friend also got their phones stolen there!

Ok good to know that isn't the norm. She is always joking with me. She said this will be our first meal. She is always sending me strange stuff but she claims it's all real stuff going on there. She is in Villla Crespo. I am wondering though if people are setting up shop it must mean that...

My friend sent me this photo. This can't be too sanitary can it with all the dog poop in the streets? Is this typical there? Crazy they would cook food and sell it so low to the ground. Doesn't look too appealing to me.

Wow! That is great. My friend living there said it seems like tourism is slowing down the past few months. She said restaurants and cafes aren't as busy as before. Not sure if this has to do with prices going up.

Wowzers. I keep delaying my trip for one reason or another. Are you sure July will be worse? Is this rioting or protests going on in touristy areas? Will I be ok in Recoleta or Palermo? I thought this stuff only goes on downtown? I hope things don't get worse. I will watch how things play out.

What a relief that things will be normal soon. I couldn't believe how cold it is now. I thought it was still nice in May. July must be freezing when I'm coming! It sounds like a big recession now. I've been seeing tons of layoffs. It looks like lots of companies are laying off or firing...
