		<description>Both locations are fine. Santa Fe is a busy major street with lots of traffic noise. So I would probably go for the Palmero Soho location, personally. It&#039;s closer to the better restaurants too.</description>

		<description>Hi, 

I am traveling to Busenos Aires in March and have 2 furnished apaprtment options to choose from:
*One is in Palermo Soho (La ubicacion exacta es Uriarte entre Charcas y Güemes)
*The other one is in Barrio Norte/Recoletta (I googled it and think it is located on 
Avenida Santa Fe 2630)
Does anyone know which one do you think is better located for easy nighlife and restaurants? Which is nicer? 
I would really appreciate anyone&#039;s help as I would like to book one of them and they are being snatch pretty fast!! 

Thanks so much!!</description>

		<description>If you are planning to travel to Argentina you have to practice their most popular game, POLO !!!

You don´t need prior knowledge in the sport. Believe me, is extremely funny !!!

These lessons con be taken individually or by group and take place throughout the year and are dictated by players with Handicap and vast experience in Polo tournaments. We are also accompanied by the presence of sports advisors which enrich the learning process.

We will provide all the necessary tools for the practice: stick, helmet, whip and horses.

		<description>I recently moved to Buenos Aires with a basic knowledge of Spanish, but I was looking to break away from my textbook and practice outside of the classroom. Of course, I also want to meet other expats and travelers, so I considered a bunch of different conversation events hosted in the area. I found a great one that is FREE on Wednesday&#039;s at 3:30 in Palermo!! Perfect time, perfect location, and for just $0, the price is right! There is a good mix of locals, expats, and travelers so it is a great way to new people and practice the language of your choice; either English or Spanish. They also have conversation socials on Fridays at 7 pm for just $20 pesos, where everyone goes to a local bar for happy hour drinks! This is a great, cheap, and fun thing to do while in Buenos Aires.

		<description>I have been to Buenos Aires 16 times and each time the petty crime seems worse.   In Jan. 2011 I got on the Subte D to Catedral and immediately my wallet was taken out of my back pocket.   I had known better not to carry my billfold there..but I forgot. 
  Immediately I told my friend who went immediately toto went to where I had been standing and demanded from woman my billfold...I got it back,,minus 200 pesos.

So, in Oct. I was going to meet my friend at Cafe Tortoni...so I took the Subte D to Catedtral.  This time I put my wallet in my pantleg pocket which I felt would be safe.   I looked around before getting on the Subte and even watch my leg while on the Subte...but in the blink of an eye...it was stolen.

  I was feeling bad about my experience in Argentina while I awaited my friend.  I told her what happened so we went inside to have a coffee.  While we were talking, my friend got a call to her cell phone and the caller ask if he was speaking..to Sra..........and she said yes.   He said he had just found a billford which had her card in it.   So, yes, I got my billfold back minus the 200 pesos.  I return to him and gave him a reward...which he did not want to take...but finally, he understood why it was so important for me to say Thanks to him with the money.



Several days later, I took a taxi ,,,paid my fare and got out....later, I discovered that I didnt have my billfold..and I thought I had left it at a cafe.   Later when I got back to my apartamento, the security guard handed me my billfold...the taxi driver had found it and returned to me since I had a card with address of my apartamento.  

So, yes, I had some bad experiences...but the overwelming goodness that came to me...tells me that there are some very wonderful people in Buenos Aires.

And yes,,,and now, I call myself....Senor Suerte....Mr. Lucky

PS....Think I should put my future b illfolds on a locked chain!!!!</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s what happened Oct. 25, 2011: A young American goes out jogging in a nice area of town and then hails a taxi for the return to his apartment.  The taxi then contacted a gunman and the gunman jumps in the front seat and points a .38 at the American&#039;s head. They drive him 20 miles outside Buenos Aires and steal his running shoes, his I-phone and cash. He walks back 20 miles in his stocking feet. He could have been killed. Never ever trust cab drivers in Buenos Aires.</description>
