^ This is Buenos Aires ?

I intend to get there soon as it is one of the few places that is still affordable and reasonably safe. Do Montevideo as well. Maybe explore further-  perhaps Chile.

How did you find Argentina in general?

King:
Loved Buenos Aires. I had been there as a young man chasing a girl I was hopelessly in love with so did not appreciate the city. The women continue to mesmerize me because the Argentinian accent is so peculiar.
The best analogy I can come up with is that just as Puerto Rico is the most americanized latin country, Argentina is the most europeanized one. I avoided the tango scene, although I'm told some of the modern adaptations are interesting. I went to the Boca area- you do need an experienced local with you, it is still dangerous at night. But I missed a football game with the Boca Juniors, which many friends tell me is THE thing to do in Argentina- not for the timid and go with a local.
The peso is an inflated currency, so you will get your best deals paying with Dollars.
I have been told Montevideo is even nicer.

Thanks for that Chevere! 

I lived in Bs As for a few months when travelling there in 1977 (Yes!) I am turning 60 this month so remembering what I did at age 24 in the Argentine is nostalgic. I also ran around looking for boots for the weather and wish that I had known about Calzados Correa. Glad it was such a great experience as is that wonderful city on the Plate.
