I've been following this site for awhile without posting and reading a lot of the info and past experiences has made me decide to visit Buenos Aires. I was wondering what are the best times of year to visit and is New Year's to crazy or a good idea to travel there?

December and January would be the ABSOLUTE worst time to come here. Late September to mid November is the best time come. Book a suite at the monger mansion now.

I didn't realize that is the worst absolute time to visit there with that holiday being when a lot of people travel. I will look into coming in November then. What is the monger mansion though?

The locals do family related activities. Dead, dead, dead.
Very little to no gato action either.

If so that is great and would love if a few Spanish speaking folks showed me around when I visit

There's lots of things to like about BA, but it has the most unfestive holiday season of anyplace I've ever been.

And by dickheads I don't mean brother dickhead I mean actual dickheads
I am in a dilemma. Which "mongering" place would be ideal to hang around in South America or else where in the world at Christmas and New year?
Manila? Frankfurt? Medellin? Rio?

There is a huge party on the beach in Copacabana with literally more than a million people in attendance. Bring plenty of cash because it's not cheap and make reservations for hotel / apartment well in advance.

I forget what they call the last day of school but, they paint their faces and are hooting and hollering all over town. From that point on, until the first week in February, things start to slow down. For the rest of December, there are still a lot of people in the city but they are getting ready for the holidays and going on vacation. The holidays are family-centric. As soon as the figgy pudding is all gone, they head out of the city for four weeks or so. It is virtually impossible to get much work accomplished during January (or so I have been told). I have been to Bs As during each calendar month, with the exception of January. That said, I may have to be in Bs As this coming January for a good part of the month.

I know for a fact though that Manila is fun and a lot of places to find ladies. I was actually thinking about going there also because I have friends out there
