I have spent the past week in Rio and although I had a ton of fun it makes me realize how damn lucky and happy I am living in Buenos Aires. Rio as a sex destination has always been better than Buenos Aires with the termas but the general trend of the quality of girls deteriorating or leaving for Europe has stricken Rio as well. I noticed far far fewer hot model type girls in places like Help and Barbarellas. Help usually has several hotties and I struggled to find even 1 or 2 the past week. I did pull out 2 very pretty girls but the scene has really deteriorated there.
I am anxious to get back home as I have a lot of work to do. God bless Argentina!
I am buying an apartment in BA and will be going there in February to buy furniture and household goods.
Do you guys living there have any suggestions on where to go to buy these things?
I don't want the cheap as you can find but want a fairly good quality furniture as I need it to last and needs to show well.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Regarding buying furniture. Read this section of the forum. It has been discussed several times.

I'm planning of staying in Buenos Aires for 3 week in February and was wondering if it makes sense to shop around for some cosmetic dental treatment (like teeth bleaching). Something is telling me it must be less expensive than in the US.
Has anyone had any experience with dental clinics in BsAs? What are the prices and the quiality of service?
Gracias!
Furniture Buying: As Stowe pointed out I have already posted on this. Still, it is the New Year and I am feeling generous so I will give you a good hint at a store that has some good stuff. Some of my clients don't want to buy custom made expensive furniture like I put into some of my properties. For those I have sent to Della Casa on Uruguay Street in between Arenales and Santa Fe. Ask for Maria. She speaks English and their prices are lower than most stores in town. You can get good dining room tables, chairs, comfortable chairs and couches, TV stands, entertainment centers, beds, etc. there. Ask for a cash discount. Definitely ask for a cash discount.
Re: Cosmetic surgery: BA has excellent physicians in the cosmetic surgery area here. It's definitely cheaper than anywhere in the states. Just ask around for a good doctor with a good reputation.
P.S. Several guys from WSG have been emailing me asking me for free advice about buying property here. I have already spent a lot of time posting FREE information here about buying property. I no longer answer emails about this. I only provide detailed information to my consulting clients. I charge a fee anywhere from u$s 600 - u$s 1,000 to help you buy property here. It really isn't a lot when you consider all the problems you could have if you don't do it right. If you can't afford this, you can't afford my services.
Please no more emails asking for free advice. I feel I have already provided enough free information. I have earned a great reputation for finding many people great properties that they are making fantastic returns on. I honestly don't know any other single individual that is buying more property here than me. My predictions about real estate here have come true. Property in some posh areas of Recoleta have now surpassed $2,000 per sq. meter. I don't see a slowdown in foreign property purchases here. I'm starting to get more upmarket clients. I had a client today make an offer on a u$s 1.2 million apartment. For more information, you can always go to my website: [url]www.apartmentsba.com[/url] Good luck fellas. Living here is the greatest experience of my life.
Hello!
I have followed this and the Argentinan forum for some time (mostly the photo-section..hehe ;) ) and have now decided to go on a trip to the two countries. Well, to be honest, not only for women, but alot for the nature aswell. But hey, nature is better seen together with a woman.
I basicly know where to go to find nice girls to pay for, and more or less some clubs for freebees, but I wondered if any of you guys know a good site for meeting women? Normal chat-boards or dating-sites, like lycoos in France. Not the one you have to pay 200$ for every reply you want to make to a girl. I'm going in 2-3 month so I wanted to be prepared and maybe find some nice friends down there.
Any tip would be much appriciated!
Oh, pardon my spelling, but it's in the middle of the night and I'm dead tired... =)
Found a great little barbershop in Barrio Norte yesterday near the Million restaruant. Itīs called La Peluqueria (of course) at Paraguay 1486, near Parana. Itīs a barbershop and they donīt appear to do women (moreīs the loss...) and a guy named Omar Pezzelatto gave me a great haircut, better than I think I've had in the States. Phone 4811-1103 or 4812-6874.
What did Omar want for the cut?

I have used YUPI.com which is now a part of the much larger Match.com. Tremendous listing of women of all ages for Buenos Aires. But I assume you can at least write/read fluently in Spanish. If not, you can forget it. Also I found that the BA women were more difficult to connect with compared to Mexico or Spain where I have had great success. Not sure why. But they seem rather picky and not the least bit impressed with Americans - unlike Mexico. In the end, I exchanged letters with 3 different ladies yet didn't meet any of them. Strangely, one of them finally wrote me back after a year +, telling me she was now in love with me. Go figure . . .
Good Luck, -P
Thanks for the tip on the barber shop, went to Casa China for lunch this afternoon, very passable Chinese food by the way on Viamonte 1476 - you have to ask for the chopsticks, and walked a couple of blocks down Parana til I found the place. Omar did the cut, trimmed the goatee and the whole business for just as you say, $20 pesos. He actually listens to what you want done! While they may not do women, I think it's Salon Masculino, there was an attractive young tart that came out and asked whether I would like a cafe, water, soda which gave it just the right touch. I've never been wild about having my hair cut in a room full of women anyway.
Omar was great and remembered the rubio extranjero who had his hair cut there earlier.
Walking further down Parana, towards Santa Fe, I passed another small Salon Masculino - looke like two chairs. As I'm going to be living a few blocks from there next month very happy indeed. Always wanted to be able to get a local cut and razor shave. City life in BsAs is great!
I have been thinking about buying a small apartment in BA for some time now. I would prefer in the Recoleta area or very close. Any one have suggestions for something about $150-$200K USD? What can I expect in that price range?
Would also like recomendations on property managers for when I am not there. I only plan to spend about 3-months of the year in BA and a few trips off and on, the rest of the time I would likethe unit rented out.
The last time in BA I only briefly looked at real estate, and most of the agents where pretty lazy and not good at returning calls. I found the experience very frustrating and time consuming. I have lived in 3rd world countries for years, so it is not like I expect American work performance, but normally my experiences in other latin countries is that when they see the money they move their asses. Not so with many of the real estate guys in BA.
Any advise is welcome.
Cousin,
I suggest contacting "Saint" if youīre interesting in purchasing property. Saint helps Americans purchase property and heīs right on top of the game in BsAs. My impression here is that real estate brokers do not cooperate, i.e. there is no MLS service in Argentina, and consequently it may be advisable to contact many inmobiliarias (agents) to see a lot of different properties in the Recoleta. Aside from that, the purchase process can be very tricky and Saint is an invaluable resource. You can contact him via this board. If you have trouble contacting him, let me know and Iīll make some calls to locate him while Iīm down here.
Walking along Azcuenaga and always on the lookout for the Mom and Pop pharmacies that Dickhead said don't ask for a prescription before handing over the goods I decided to give this one a try at Azcuenaga 1235, a couple of blocks north of Santa Fe.
Bought 2 25mg tabs of Sedus Suldenafil and 2 20 mg tabs of Cialis. The Sedus brand is considerably less than Pfizer which they also carry. A local company I think.
2 Suldenafil 25 mg @ $ 5.95 pesos and Cialis x 2 @ $44.84 pesos. Today I bought another packet of 2 Suldenafil at $5.80 pesos, less than $1.00 a piece.
If you don't speak much Spanish write it down for them: Sedus or Pfizer Suldenafil . they'll bring it out for you. You then take the box and the bill to the front and pay the guy in the plexiglass box.
