well i've been reading over your discussions for about a week, and i am impressed. this summer i am planning to go to buenos aires (and the rest of argentina eventually) to hobby. is this still a good place to go? i am looking particularly for a good exchange rate with the dollar...college student, so tight budget... is somewhere else in south/latin america better for a greenhorn?

If you're on a budget, man, you gotta get to South East Asia. It's one of the few places on the planet where you really can get by on 20 dollars a day (ten if you're careful).

I know that Southern Argentina is way too expensive. I've a pal who visits Colombia on a regular basis. He's convinved it's the best value in the new world.

Patagonia is expensive. BA is not as cheap as it was two years ago, but still a bargain by most standards. The exchange rate is about 2.9 pesos per dollar. Minimum price to hobby is 100-150pesos, with the average in the 200peso range.
Rooms at clean but basic hotels go for 90 pesos, breakfast and tax included.

I´´m BA now and it can be expensive. Depends on where you go. I like the club scene and Orleans so I end up paying $200ar and I don´t bargain much so it can be expensive. But for me the beauty is here as I don´t care for asian girls even though I´m asian

PEcs you are in BA Again?

You lucky dog.


I guess I won't see you in TJ Manana.

BTW Where was my invite? I've been dying to go to BA but won't go without an expert like yourself.

Hey Max....

I love this place but i miss my tj chica. I know you horndogs are going to be bangin her but go easy and save some for me.

im contemplating going to BA for the first time after my next rio trip, will be in BA for 1-2 months, hope there's alot of action there =)
