[i]Hi!
Is it worth inviting an escort from the above agency for a weekly trip abroad? Is the agebcy trustworthy?
Please drop me some infos. [/i][/QUOTE]
Whether it is worth it is totaly up to you and how you interact with the girl, and what value you put on that interaction.
www.escorts-argentina.com and www.platynum.com.ar are not agencies, but rather webhosting services for the independent girls to put their names and photos up for all to see. The owners are as nice and honest as can be. Adriana, the webmistriss, can help you with a selection on www.escorts-argentina.com. That is totally wysiwyg.

chuckle.....good to hear....she's a winner with capital W
taking a girl out for a week is not uncommon :) you have to have had a rapport with her previously. Currently the pesos/EU/USD makes Argentina the best value for import.
I invited one for over a week, and had a rum time. She got to see London and Paris, and I got thoroughly laid :)
Dosequis,
My favorita who works just down the street in Cutty Sark tells me Lancaster is chica friendly. Here is how I normally confirm: When you make your reservation by email or by phone tell them that while you are traveling alone you would like to reserve a room/suite for two because you have several "amigas" who may visit you and you don't want any problems.....if there is a problem they will tell you....again, my favorita is in a position to know and she says there is not a problem here.....Be sure to ask for a promotional rate or discount for....a stay of more than several days or whatever...the reservationists have a lot of latitude at this hotel....I got a quote from some of the web sites, then phoned the hotel told them the rate I had been quoted and asked if I could get a room for a lower price by booking direct...."Por Supesto" was the reply....so you can probably get a suite for the price of a double by negotiating a little....and use the money you save to bring back an extra chica....
The rate they quoted me was 90pesos for a junior suite, 110 for a senior suite, 70 for a double....I didn't ask about the matrimonial suite...Another tact is to tell them you met a guy who recommended the hotel and told you he paid these prices and you would like to reserve a room if the same rates are still in effect......90p is 25-26 per night....that's with tax and breakfast included.....so even if you pay a little more for a shorter stay (these rates were for a week) you should stay within your budget......
FWIW, I found an apartment for my week in BA in October,so I will not actually stay at the Lancaster....but I would like to try it out one of these days....I like hotels with character....and that are inexpensive....
re: saftety....personally, I would not have a problem walking from the Lancaster to either Cutty Sark or Orleans...both a only a block or so away....for the clubs on Suipacha or certainly to Recoleta, I would take a taxi at night. TDuring the day it is safe enough to walk around and explore. There is a taxi stand on the Reconquista side of the Lancaster. You can take a Taxi to Suipacha for the minimum of 2pesos....or to Recoleta for about 5 pesos....
About a block from the Lancaster is the Galeria Pacifica....a large, covered shopping mall. In the basement is a food court with lots of restaurants with low-priced meals....some very good restaurants in town have faster food venues here......worth trying....also Che Bleu is a small restaurant on Paraguay....keep going past Cutty Sark, take a left on Paraguay until you come to the restaurant....the food is good and inexpensive....If you show up about 9PM it also has the advantage of being a favorite of many of the girls who work at Cutty Sark...so you may be able to see some of the chicas in a brighter light....
hope this helps
"If you are an experienced BA monger, can we buy you dinner and get some tips and trade war stories?"
Has anyone considered putting together a Field Guide for Buenos Aires? The problem for a newcomer with a limited stay is that there is so much information here to sift through, and it is a huge city. You have to be squared away a bit before you come. After going back thru the vast number of reports and jotting down addresses, you then have to pore over maps to find streets, etc.
Had a succinct guide been available before my recent trip, I would most certainly have bought one. It might include a breakdown of joints by category with reviews, lists of webpages, maps, etc.
I was also wondering if Jackson has considered some sort of facility for video clips on the site. Not of people doing it, but of the inside of some of the chica-filled places discussed here. That would really help people pre-visualize things here.
Referring to the price list someone provided below, I had an excursion to Iguazu Falls (airfare, hotel with meals, tours of both sides); a City tour; a Tigre tour, and a Tango/dinner show all for USD 220. Iguazu was really stunning, and Marcela at Camuniaviajes.com seems to know how to get the good prices.
To look good for the ladies, I had a designer haircut for USD 2.50
Hello from Moscow (still a vile, wretched, evil place!)
TWO POINTS OF BUSINESS:
1) I'm traveling to Hong Kong and Vietnam on Business next month but plan to make a side trip to Thailand (Pattaya and BKK) so all my BA brothers, please stay tuned to the Thailand Board for my exhaustive reports (I will try to be "Saint-like" in the thoroughness of my posts).
2) To Jackson, Saint, et all--I finally have managed to fanagle a divorce from my wife. Sad yes, but fortunately we have no children and we were both miserable, so this is a very good thing. I'm in my forties and want to live my life. And the last several years with the ball and chain have truly been like prison (ironically I like my wife as a person) In short, DO NOT EVER GET MARRIED BOYS! IT IS A DEAD END AND FINANCIAL SUICIDE....Be that as it may, I'm turning the page and going to enjoy the rest of my days on this earth....Which brings me to my next point. I'm going to take the plung and put my money where my mouth is and purchase a large Recoleta apartment this December. Will be looking to buy a luxury, doorman 3/4 bedroom and drop somewhere around 100-150K (a colleague "on the ground" recently married, purchased a lovely 2 BEDROOM apartment in BA (between Recoletta & Palermo) for 45K--he is from NYC and claims that the same place in Manhattan right now, would go for 600K.
As much as I find it unseemly to be a robber barren and capitalize on the ravaged economy--the fact remains that I LOVE BA and I truly want to retire there (and plan on visiting it 2/3 times per yer until I do; frequent flyer miles on United make this feasable--I only pray that UA doesn't go belly up/or cut back on their international routes). Furthermore, I (almost) want to say that I my decision to buy an apartment has nothing to do with the hobby. THE CITY IS AMAZING and I just have to believe that eventually (even 10 years down the road) the economy is going to turn around and right itself. Realistically speaking, the peso seems to have stabalized (albeit on the floor) at roughly 3.6 to the dollar. To me, that means that things probably have bottomed out, and can not go any lower. Thus, the optimum time to buy is now (hopefully).
So--LA Larry will also have a furnished residence that I will be "selectively" renting out to starting in January. (I don't fancy the idea of turning my home into a brothel, but here and there, I'll be happy to accomodate responsible brothers for their stays in BA).
More details to follow. Stay tuned....
How are the police in Buenos Aires? Are they into the bribe thing like Mexcio? Or are they more like the police in the US?
LA Larry....if you find a good English-speaking Realtor...post the information...I am thinking about a lease/purchase in the Recoleta/Barrio Norte area...although I am looking for something smaller, a one or two bedroom apartment works for me as long as it is in a secure building and relatively new or restored...
LA Larry,
Congratulations on the divorce amigo. Sounds like the best option for both of you. I hope you can still afford your BA apartment post divorce. I know mine drained me dry. But your happiness is what matters. Life is great...you just gotta live it.
I think a lot of guys are going to be buying property down there. I talk to a few dudes every week that are looking to buy. I myself would rather rent than buy right now but if I found a good deal on a 1 to 2 bedroom apartment I'd think about it.
Like Ezy posted, PLEASE anyone post if you find a reliable realtor in BA. I'm sure we could keep him/her busy.
Again, congrats amigo.
Saint/Ezy/LA Larry and Others:
I recommend that you contact a bilingual lawyer. For a few bucks he/she will arrange all the errands and save you a lot of time by not hitting the wrong reators (Inmobiliarias). In fact, a few nights saved in hotel fees for optimizing your apartment search will more than pay for his/her service.
I have lawyers friends of mine who may recommend me a bilingual lawyer versed in the real estate market. If any of you are interested, please post your e-mail address and I will ask my lawyer friends.
Dosequis:
Police won't bother for bribes you unless you do something really wrong (for instance, passing a red light when driving). If you are white skinned and gringo looking, they shouldn't harass you. However, police officers are barely distinguishable from criminals: Look at this week's issues of Clarin and La Nacion; you will find the history of 3 poor teenagers (not well educated or not very wealthy) who were forced by the police to jump into the pestilent waters of Riachuelo river because policemen thought they may be criminals. One of the teenagers is still missing. That gives you the quality of the actual police procedures in BA.
LA Larry:
BA is a wonderful city, but don't bet on that the peso took bottom. Argentina changed currency 3 times since 1980, and we suffered several hiperinflation periods. One of the keys to survival in Argentina is assuming permanent risk and changing conditions. Believe me: When the Argentine Central Bank exhauste its Dollar reserves after paying IMF-BIRF interest in loans during mid 2003 or after court orders force restoration of frozen accounts, nobody would know how many Pesos the Dollar worths (3.6? 5? 10?)
It will take decades for BA to become a Sao Paulo or a Mexico DF, but Buenos Aires will unavoidably follow the common Latin American pattern: Few very rich communities surrounded by very poor trenchtowns. Recoleta and vicinity will, of course, continue being very wealthy, so it shouldn't deter you very much from buying there.
Hope this helps,
Andres
andresg: Gracias....here is my email: unpocolocoenba@hotmail.com
Andres ,
Great analysis! Anyone that has taken economics classes in college would come up with the same rational as you posted. While I hope things don't get worse for the economy anything is possible. Personally I don't think it will get much worse than 4 pesos to the $1 US but no one knows for sure.
2003 is going to be an interesting year for Argentina. I hope it is a more prosperous one for the people of Argentina but it will take many years for things to unravel. It definitely can get worse before it gets better economically.
The new elections in March shouldn't make too much of a difference in my humble opinion. It's interesting because every taxi driver I had (and trust me I had many many....I'm lazy when it comes to walking) I asked who they wanted for President in the new election. ALL laughed and said it didn't matter. Some of the answers were pretty comical. A few said me, a few said them, a few said their wives were stupid and even she could do a better job. Most said it simply didn't matter.
I get the sense the people of Buenos Aires are just plain tired of the shenanigans of the corruption by their government. As I've posted before. We are the IMF right now. We are bailing out Argentina, one chica at a time (sometimes two)
Andres...please email me any info/contacts that you have. [email]saintofba@hotmail.com[/email] Thanks in advance.
I have a plan to save Argentina: rent out the public offices! Wanna be President of Argentina for a week? $1,000,000. Vice-President? $500,000. Ambassador to Rome? $100,000. We could send rich bored Silicon Valley billionaires down to run the country and pay for the privilege. Hell they couldn't screw it up worse than it already is! And heck, they might figure out how to fix the economy! But that's just my opinion, and I could be wroooooong.... OK I will shut up now.
chuponalgas....are these prices in pesos or dollars?
