Daily Weather Report:)
Today was a bit on the warm side, about 75 or so, few clouds, reasonable breeze. Right now, 10:00 PM, between 65-70 degrees and a slight breeze.
I eyed that pool all day today while I was working - soon! Soon!
[QUOTE=Judd]Hola Dudes,
The weather services online seem fairly general with lows in the 40's and highs in the mid 70's. Is that about right?
Thanks,
Judd[/QUOTE]The weather in BA is worse than the poverty, crime or inflation!
Picture Houston, Texas in July without A / C!
Too hot to fuck!
Almost!
At least the Chicas do NOT wear clothing on the streets!

Is there such a thing as a cute Spanish language teacher with benefits? I'll be in town for two weeks and need some good lessons. Really. If no one knows of one, someone might suggest it to one of their madam friends as a new twist.
Good idea or not, what do you think?

Check the forum for member recommendations of English speaking chicas. They will be happy to try to speak Spanish with you. However, if you are looking for formal training, you may want to look at the threads on local instruction.
Latuna,
Anina on Platynum speaks excellent English and is pretty much up for anything as long as you are paying. She'll show you around, take you shopping etc. Also.
If you're serous about learning some Spanish, I'd recommend you keep them separate. If you're thinking about fucking her during the language lesson, you'd be wasting the lesson. I had to change my teacher once, I couldn't concentrate.
Thanks for the weather update.
We are all impatiently waiting.

What US condoms are the best, most sensitive for the man? I used AR ones last time I was down south, felt like a Michelin.
Although I've been here several times, I have never actually spent Christmas and New Year here. So I am wondering whether to stay here or plan to go somewhere else for the Christmas period. What's the chica scene like then? Do privados stay open? Do the triangle clubs operate as normal or does everything die? Does night life continue as normal?
Any advice?

Many of the foreign workers will go home to see family over the holidays. Leave something like the middle of December and return the middle of January or later, depending on their situation.
On the actual night of Christmas (even Christmas Eve, if I remember) things will be pretty much shut down with the exception of eating places, where it seems like 1/2 the people in the city go to have dinner.
You are generally getting into the time of summer vacations. Many Argentinos will go find a house in the country somewhere for a month to three months, take off from work or commute in if they aren't too far and need to work some.
Times are slow at this point for working girls, except for the foreigners coming in. I think there will be fewer available, but there also won't be as many locals either.
So you might find it slower, but I doubt dead.
[blue]Come on Guys,
It took me about 3 seconds to find this using the Forum's Search function to search for the word "Christmas".

Ok, is there anything for the dryer like anti-static sheets? I've looked in Disco and now Carrefour since arriving and haven't seen a thing. In Rio everything was hungup to dry.

Was happily surprised to see Galeria Pacifico and other malls open last Sunday. Not sure when that shifted to US norms but couple years ago they mostly used to be closed Sundays.
Least I can now get shopping done on otherwise slow Sundays
I've heard a lot about the level of crime in Buenos Aires. When I was in Argentina over the summer, I didn't get robbed. I felt safe most of the time, but perhaps I was just lucky and naive?
I'm worried about getting robbed on the street / in a private apartment on my next trip to BsAs. How likely am I to meet one of these fates? What can you do to reduce your risk of something like that happening? Or is it just random?

Also one time two guys started to chase me and I'm pretty sure they meant to rob me but I outran them. And a guy tried to pull my backpack out of my arm while I was sitting in Retiro, but also failed. I have heard of two privado robberies but they did not rob the customers.
I think you must be from Skokie or someplace like that and not Chicago. The dangerous areas in Buenos Aires are outside the centro. It is kind of the opposite of Chicago in that regard.
As a former criminal I can tell you low hanging fruit is the key. Appear to be too much trouble for value and few will chose to invest energy for meager return. I've never (knock on wood) been robber, accosted, molested (Jessica and Romina excepted) or other here but I pretty much always look like a bum unless I'm going some place.
While I was eating my breakfast I noticed she was shedding bucket of tears in the kitchen.
So I walked to her and asked her as to what happened and the reason behind her tears.
She started crying at top of her voice and told me her story.
It seemed while she was talking on the phone on the road, two men crept up on her on a motor cycle, un-noticed by her as she was on the phone.
It seemed that they first punched her in the solar-plexus a few times, before whisking off with the phone. ( By the way, it was very cheap phone costing 100 pesos more or less)
It was quite a ghastly story, the kind which makes you cringe.
BA is clearly not for the faint hearted monger!
You need to be ready to prepare the worst if you are visiting here or living here.
Incidentally my cook is very fit girl. She tells me she does 300 squats every 3rd day. Despite the blows she received on her stomach, she still came to work and cooked my meals. A ordinary person may be lying on the road waiting to be transported home or to the hospital.
A newbie monger reading this board, may go back home unscathed but do not take your safety for granted in this city. Be forewarned. And if all you want to do is mongering in BA, their are safer choices in Sur America. Believe me!
Hope this story would be of some kind of guidance to the newbie mongers.
Cheers.
What places in SA do you perceive to be safer for mongering? Because I can't think of a single one. Mendoza maybe is marginally safer but I don't think anyone would go there to monger. Any place else I can think of is MORE dangerous than BA.
Crime is on the rise here, but it's always been somewhat unsafe anyway.
She got hit by motochorros, a not uncommon event here.
I saw one go down at Uruguay and Paraguay (a place some on the board know about) once, about a year ago. It's a safe part of town. An old woman was walking on the sidewalk, near the street, and two guys rode by on a motorcycle and grabbed her purse, which was on her shoulder toward the street. The force of the grab spun the woman around and knocked her to the ground, where she hit her head and cut herself real good. Blood all over the place. The motochorros didn't even slow down.
A guy I know who used to come down here was walking down Callao around Vicente Lopez and two guys came up on a motorcycle, slowed down, one jumped off and hit him in the back of the head and ripped his watch off his wrist, got back on and they sped away. That was about a year and a half ago.
Both of these took place in broad daylight on a weekday.
It is said that home invasions are up, robberies are up, but it's all "perceived." I. E, the official numbers don't show it (which doesn't mean anything. The government doesn't even try to make its lies believable here). This is all anecdotal evidence, but it's a fact the economy is faltering and people here are a bit insecure. Amongst many locals there is a feeling of impending crisis.
However, I have never been robbed in the 6 years I've lived here. All of my family members have, but I don't know too many expats who have been. Not sure why that is, except maybe the areas they frequent (aside from my wife and sister-in-law who live with me, the rest of the family is poor and don't live all that well). Although, a recent article in one of the local papers mentioned a rise in reported home invasions in Recoleta, which s very close to one of the largest slums in the city.
Personally, I don't feel BA is particularly unsafe, but I also don't go out on the street flashing my cellphone or jewelry, dressed to the nines, and walking around without paying attention to what's going around me. BA is not a bad place to visit in relation to crime, in my opinion. Certainly there are many other places worse.
I heard from a few bros, The Pole Dance Party is pretty boring.
Anyway someone can record the event and send some videos to Youtube to dispel the ugly rumor?
POLE DANCE PARTY this FRIDAY!
I am hosting a Pole Dancing Party at the AP House in Recoleta this Friday evening.
We've got a professional stage, pole, lighting, special effects, mirrors and sound system!
Full Nudity Warning: These parties tend to get naked and wild.
Friday Night from 10 pm to 12 midnight.
Reservations are necessary to keep things under control.
There is a $300 pesos cover charge to pay the strippers who (big surprise) will not shake their ass for free.
Because we need a room full of guys to complete the scene and motivate the strippers, I have decided to make.
Any contributions to cover the expenses entirely VOLUNTARY and I will cover the difference personally.
Please RSVP via Private Message or call me at 15-4048-2827. Thanks, Jax.

This party is free and you can "pay what you think it was worth", so why not go, meet a few people and see with your own eyes."What is boring to one may not be to you."

In my state a couple years ago they closed all the lap dance bars because of shootings, beheadings, blackmail, etc. So no más mongering here. No offense guys but I remember walking at night in Microcentro in BsAs in 2004-2005 and I felt like a king, even if today it is more dangerous than then believe me you ain't seen nothing yet!
México City is fine as long as you stay in tourist places not just for mongering but also for going to theathers, dining, etc.
OK, so here is a geography lesson: México is not in South America. The Dominican Republic is not in South America. So where [B]in South America[/B] is safer for mongering than BA?

I'm not sure I agree Santiago is safer although right now maybe it is. I definitely agree the mongering is shit. So I think about other mongering DESTINATIONS in SA and you have Asuncióand, Río de Janeiro, Lima, Medellíand, Cartagena, and Quito. I don't think any of those places is safer than BA, although I have not been to Cartagena. For that matter I have not been to Río either but SO many people I know have been robbed there that I would reject out of hand any notion it is safer than BA.
Also there is safe as in not getting robbed, and then there is safe as in not getting killed. BA you might get robbed, but probably not killed. Lima they would kill you as soon as look at you and same for Medellíand.

This is the wrong thread but I will try to explain a few things to you and I also encourage you to show up one day.
The House Rules and some of the girl's rules do not allow us to record images and although we have had a lot of good ones there was an occasional bad one , always better than the club scene in various manners.
It absolutely depends on the girls more than anything else.
You can invite wannabe Pole Dancers from any club that just want to take the money and run and you can invite regular girls that get turned on when they strip for a room full of men and forget what time it is and dance for 5 hours . Those Private parties were the best !
The Mercenaries are or may be nice to look at but they are usually shallow, conceited and heartless souls.
Bring on the girl next door that has a fantasy to strip for men and you get a winner.
Every time.
The best one of all times jumped off of my balcony and she is the perfect example of a girl next door that gets turned on as an exhibitionist.
At least when the "elexir of love" is involved.
They all do.

P.S - Sometimes you never know what to expect .
[QUOTE=Dickhead;427470]Lima they would kill you as soon as look at you and same for Medellíand.[/QUOTE]Absolute bullshit. Where do people come up with this trash. Fucking histrionics. I mongered 3 months ago, July, in Lima, went to parts of the city in the daytime I certainly wouldn't return to at night, walked around centro at night with never so much as anyone getting intentionally close enough to say Hello, used public transport without incident. Yes, the city's largest chongo is located in an unfavorable zone. Just don't go there or have a local take you. Whenever and wherever you go don't look like a mark, keep your wits about you and you'll be fine in Lima.
Mongered in Med in August of '11. Same deal. Sure, centro after dark can be dicey. Lots of mongering in Med without going to centro after dark. And parts of centro are just fine after dark. For this monger, no incidents in Med either.
For mongering my vote goes to Med over Lima, more variety. For food it's Lima.
Well, I was in Medellin for six weeks and I got mugged and robbed once, attempted to be robbed another time and hassled by cops for resisting, and given counterfeit money by a taxista who then called the police on me. In Lima the taxistas would not even take me to half the places I wanted to go, and twice guys reached in the windows of cabs to try to grab shit. Peruvian food can be very good but you have to be very careful because there is little refrigerated transport. I always get sick no matter how careful I am, and once it was quite serious. This is why Peruvians only eat fish for breakfast. All the intercity buses have armed guards riding on them and you are thoroughly physically searched before getting on. Lima is my least favorite South American city.
Medellin is without doubt one of the more dangerous citys in south america. One of my employees live there. He hates going home. Its even worse when you are almost 6 feet tall with blue eyes and blond hair. You stick out like a sore thumb and everyone knows you are a gringo. Kidnapping for money is a rt there.

I travel to nations with developing economies with some frequency. I learned (back in the 80s, how to keep a low profile). For one, I don't wear or carry branded items that confirm my gringo-ness.
Way back when I lived in Italy, wearing Nike sneakers was a dead give away that you were American (of course with a few exceptions). The only potential clothing hints are my jeans, although I only bring jeans that don't have outward markings (Lucky). I don't wear any jewelry, except watches and cufflinks. Depending upon my destination, those things may get left at home.
Wherever I am (No Am, So Am, Asia, Africa, Europe) , I commit to memory the basic layout of the city, the 'borders' and 'markers' that exist (that aid in orienteering) so that I can generally get around without ever taking the map out of my pocket. I also use two mapping aps on my phone and the integrated GPS.
In places like Dar es Salaam, it is a little more difficult for me to blend in.

I'd like to think that I am careful enough not to get sick. However, I know that no matter how careful you are, sometimes it happens. I'm fastidious about potential contamination, however, I have managed to ingest some virulent stuff. Giardia is lots of fun.
