First time in BA

[Digits]

Hunt, Exon and Thomaso,

I appreciate your feedback and comments. While I have never been a fan of tours or tour guides, based on the unanimity of the feedback, I think I just might this time around.

And Hunt, I will keep the exact dates secret, so to reduce the chance of you successfully getting your spies out on me.

Thanks again.

Take Exons advice. Additionally if you are here for only three days do not worry about a couple of extra dollars. Longer term stays are more in tune with greater savings. You just won't have the time to hunt out the best deals.

If anyone cares to suggest how I should plan these three days to get the most (and variety) from these three days, I would really appreciate it. Any level of detail is welcome. And if I have missed an existing and particular thread that addresses my query, please let me know.

I did a poll recently where I asked "What's your favorite mongering style?" As I see it, there are four basic styles available in Buenos Aires.

A Nightclubs / Boliches.

B Private Apartments.

C Internet Girls.

D Cafes and Coffee Shops.

Interestingly enough, the votes came down almost equally divided among the four. So for a first trip, I would advise sampling a bit of each. First timers often get a lot of help from Roxana, especially when their Spanish is less-than-fluent. She does a great orientation city tour, and can help out in the clubs if you want to hire her for that. Even though my Spanish is decent, I still use her to set up meetings with internet girls.

Another common characteristic of first-timers is that they tend to extend their stays if they can. They have so much fun, they don't want to go home. Apartments tend to be daytime institutions, as can be internet girls. Besides Orleans, there aren't any daytime cafes. Boliches are definitely for your late nights.

Be sure to eat well; Buenos Aires is one of the best restaurant cities in the world. There are many good places reviewed on this board.

Hi,

I am somewhat new to this forum, and although I have spent a lot of time on the ISG forum, I find the amount and level of available information here overwhelming; especially if you are used to the standard ISG format of threads.

I have spent a lot of time and paper printing and reading posts here (in other words I have RTFF) in order to map out an efficient and productive three days in BA (for travel in less than three weeks) but frankly I am at a loss at what to do, how much to do and where to do it.

Initially I was supposed to travel to BA in February and had booked the Marriott. I had to cancel that trip, and for this one I have so far tentatively booked the Art Hotel and the Regal Pacific, so I would have at least a place secured. Marriott just seemed to be a little too steep for a semi-g-friendly hotel.

So, to my request / question:

If anyone cares to suggest how I should plan these three days to get the most (and variety) from these three days, I would really appreciate it. Any level of detail is welcome. And if I have missed an existing and particular thread that addresses my query, please let me know.

I am also open to suggestions about changing my hotel booking from the two options referenced above to get more value for the money. To note: while I am not a budget traveler, I am budget conscious; in other words, it just kills me to pay (or have to pay) $5 for something where I can get something similar or close for $2 or $3.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings gentlemen, yes it true I finally made it to BA. I will do my best to stick with the program and make the most of my visit so that I can submit some great reports. Anyway, will there be a gathering at the Mansion or some other location where I can meet some of you, for some orientation from some of the masters. Where should I start?

Ciao,

Santiago.

PS did I mention that I am fluent in Spanish so if anybody would like some help tranlating I would be happy to assist.

[El Grandote]

Well it's official, I will be in BA Apr. 22 through May 7, all those of you that have offered to help educate me on the do's and don'ts of BA, I will definitely call upon your expertise.

See you soon.

Dolys is very much open. The cover has been raised to 15 pesos, but it includes one drink or a very large bottle of that nasty Quilmes swill. It was packed last Thursday night. There were quite a few hotties, depending on your tastes but there were snapped up quickly. 70p / half hour, 120p / hora.

I stand corrected. Thanks Seismo!

With respect to Frans, and I can't comment on the VIP selections, Dolys, last I heard was closed. And for La Biela, it depends on your tastes. La Biela is in the middle of tourist central. If you are looking for something other than that, there are many to choose from. I would check out the board for many posts for cafes. La Biela bores me unstiff.

La Biela is a traditional Porteno place for the beautiful people "to see and be seen" while sipping their cafe, so I can understand the attraction. Another is Cafe Tortoni:

Santiago:

Our friend "Andres" used to have a section of his own on the old WSG. Unfortuantely I can not find his section anymore and I assume it may have been merged with the rest of the reports.

At any rate, do a search by username for him and go back to early 2003. His posts are very factual, up to the point, informative, and without any editorials. Although some information (especially the pricing) may have become a little dated by now, you probably still will get very useful information out of his posts.

And as he would say, "I hope this helped".
