BA in July

This is my 11th or 12th time in BA since 05, always in conjucunction with hunting in Cordoba / Salta / Uruguay. I have seen many changes since 05, with general prices in terms of eating out, shopping being perhaps 2-3 times as expensive. In relation to Chica pricing, sure its more expensive but not 2-3 times as much and still far cheaper than European prices, plus its a completely different experience on the whole, generally with chica's who are far more receptive and not as mechanical as what you would get in Europe or the States (note generally)

Got into BA on the 2nd July, have rented apartments on my past two visits and for me at least its a far better option. For the record in five years I have never had any issue with anything going missing or any major diputes or at any time felt unsafe, in terms of chica's. I was mugged on Alvear in 06, but thats another story. I rented from Apartments BA and can recomend. This is the third apartment I have rented from them and never a problem.

Kicked off with an old favourite of mine, who I saw back in 05, have kept in touch with and have seen several times on each visit. Back in 05/06/07 she was consistantly posted on and is probably known to many of the forum members, she retired from the escort sites a good year or so ago, but I guess still sees existing clients. For me this little spinner was the best in 05 and is still the best today.

The difficulty with posting trip reports is that you are inclined, at least I am, not to want to criticise chicas or post bad feedback on the basis that what may be bad for you may be good for another. On this basis I won't write about specific chicas, but more so the mistakes and lessons learnt on this trip.

I always use the services of Laura / Roxana and for the record without their help my trips would not be nearly as memorable. If you don't speak Spanish you are going to struggle with the internet escorts, both in terms of communication and pricing variations. Even when I travel to Cordoba and overnight in the City I still use Laura to schedule arrangements.

What I have learnt this trip in particular is that a greater proportion of the internet chicas than I have experienced before are more concerned now with clock watching. I had a situation two weeks ago where a girl turned up, we chatted for perhaps 30-45 minutes, her phone rang as the session was starting and it tranpires that I am being asked if I want to pay for another hour. I had paid upfront, its easier said than done not to when asked especially if the girl speaks no english, although perhaps only in 20% of cases will the chica ask me to do so. I spoke to the agency and told them that as a matter of principle I wouldnt pay a peso more, buttoned up my shirt and cut the appointment short. The agency was the one based in Puerto Madero.

Learning from this early lesson I re-worked my "shopping list" and tried to focus purely in independents, using amongst others the advertiser soloindependente's on this forum, on the whole I have had some really good girls and no issues with time keeping.

I have frequented Newport bar and found the selection to be better than on prior trips and not as intimidating as say Orleans or even the clubs. In my experience Orleans is great if there are two + of you or and if you speak Spanish, if you are flying solo and speak very limited Spanish it can be an uncomfortable place to be. Okay you could argue that Newport is a variation on the same theme, but its way more laid back and you don't feel that all eyes are on you.

I have done the clubs on prior trips and found that unless you are with others then flying solo can be awkward. I did try Hook at the start of the month and although quiet took a girl out had had a good couple of hours, although I wouldnt repeat.

I spent an interesting night at The Alamo and although I saw no evidence of any P4P there, from memory there was some that went on in 05/06. It was a good night and even solo I joined a couple of groups of both ex-pats and tourists. It was good to have a night off!

I did a quick visit one afternoon to Cielo Private and can report that its clean, safe, expensive by BA standards although I have always had very good service with pretty girls who aim to please - I would certainly return.

I have used Fred from Silver Star on the past few visits and find him to be very good and would not hesitate to use or recomend to anyone + he is pretty up to scratch on the "scene"in BA and would certainly be of great help along with Laura / Roxana for a newbie in town.

All in all a really good three weeks and although I am in Argentina for a further 18 day 's or so I am being joined tomorrow and my hobbying days are being brought to an abrupt end.
