    Searching for a temporary rental

    @Blockchain Okay so I went through the whole rental thing yesterday. The real estate agent we were dealing with wanted: 20% (of total contract value) fee one month's rent deposit, returnable upon completion of contract paid in dollars, cash all upfront She wasn't willing to reduce her fee or...

    Searching for a temporary rental

    @Blockchain I found a nice airbnb that I liked, booked through the platform for the first month, and then negotiated a lower price for 3 months afterwards. Right now I'm back on Zonaprop and touring a property this afternoon. Check under the 'temporal' section in zonaprop. I don't have a...

    Searching for a temporary rental

    Hi all, I've decided to extend my stay in Buenos Aires. I've been looking on Zonaprop for temporary / furnished rentals, but I also wanted to expand my search by posting on here. I've included a little bit more about what I'm looking for below. If any of you have a rental that fits this bill...

    Chori - Delicious Choripan Restaurant in Palermo Soho

    I love this place. I've been there like three times now and I always get the Chorichanga. It's got the "spicy" symbol next to it, but it's not spicy at all. It's become one of my favorite sandwiches.

    Night out report: Mungo Lingo Friday

    Hmmmm, yeah it's probably tough to find a suitable guy. You gotta really be on equal footing or else it's just weird. I don't know if it works in Argentina, but some of my friends use a dating app called Raya. I could be totally wrong, but I think it only has famous / wealthy dudes on it. For...

    Night out report: Mungo Lingo Friday

    Actually, I found that I was the youngest person there at 25. Most of the people I met were in their 30's / 40's. The "young crowd" there is hovering around the 25 range. Unless you're like 70 years old, I don't think you'll have a problem. From my perspective, as a foreigner going solo to a...

    Night out report: Mungo Lingo Friday

    I don't have any friends here... I just went alone. Truth be told it was like 50% Argentinian people last week and after getting the inside scoop, those girls want to talk to you. Be chatty, talk to everyone not just the women. I think the local guys are hilarious. I was making out with a girl...

    Night out report: Mungo Lingo Friday

    Lolol! It was the girl I met in line and talked to most of the night. She's from Argentina. She was actually there to practice her French but luckily I got to her first. This past Friday, she brought a bunch of her girlfriends along to meet "guys like me" (her words). One of her girlfriends...

    Night out report: Mungo Lingo Friday

    This is a semi-detailed write up of my experience at Mungo Lingo on a Friday night. Check out the link here if you're unfamiliar with Mundo Lingo. I showed up at about 9:20 not quite sure what to expect. I was a bit nervous because I've never practiced my Spanish in a setting like this before...

    @earlyretirement Do you tip your barber in Buenos Aires? If so how much? Thanks for the rec. I'm coming to BA in 2 weeks and will use this place.
