Ask TheMetetron about living in or visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina
Note: This thread was originally posted in the Travel Forum. After Mat killed the forum, it was moved against my wishes to the Lounge. El Diablo suggested just restarting the thread in OOT if I felt it would do better here, so that's what I'm doing.
This thread was originally not posted in OOT because I felt it wouldn't get much serious discussion and would turn into Degen's "Orgies In Thailand" type of thread (not that there is anything wrong with that). I'm doing this thread because I hope it is actually useful to some and gets more people interested in this great city/country. Don't let me down OOT.
I will be reposting the best questions/answers from the last thread. I hope that isn't a problem for anyone.
I've got too many PM's the last few days asking about it, so if I'm going to answer all of these questions I mine as well do it in public so I don't have to repeat myself and so everyone can benefit from it.
Types of things I'll answer:
- Different neighborhoods: cost, feel, safety, things to do in each
- Argentine culture and history
- Visas
- Other cities in Argentina besides BsAs and things to do in them
- How to find an apartment
- Getting around the city and to/from the airport
- Language questions and questions about tango classes
- Cost of living and Argentine currency
- Nightlife: bars and nightclubs
- Restaurants, sidewalk cafes, delivery
- Theatre: tango shows, opera, plays, musicals, symphonies
- Sights to see, markets to visit
- Weather, seasons, etc
- Playing poker online here or questions about casinos here
- Pretty much anything else you want to ask about. Hookers, weed, whatever, I'm game for pretty much anything. I'm sure I've forgotten to mention some important stuff.
I'll start the thread off with some PMs I've received but feel free to add in your own questions. Keep in mind, I've only been here about 3 weeks now, but I did a ton of research before coming, I lived in a different country before this, and I have friends here who have lived here for more than a year... if I don't know the answer I can promise to find out for you. Perhaps some of the other 2+2 BsAs will show up from time to time.
