Cool energy, Already subscribed, welcome! Also I recommend you guys check out Belgrano R neighbourhood which has a lot of british looking houses and also contains the Chinatown.

Thanks for the suggestion!!! And thanks for being a subscriber too! Sadly we've already left Buenos Aires :( and we missed out on Belgrano!! Buenos Aires is such a huge city- there was so much we missed out on, so we'll definitely need to com back and check out the other sites!

I heard you mention using credit cards. Is that acceptable at most places all over Argentina? Is the rate off by much? We will be traveling for a month there later in the year.

Yup! We briefly mentioned it in a previous vlog while in Ushuaia Argentina. We found ourselves pretty much 90% of the time using credit card. Visa was fairly reasonable compared to the “dolar blue” rate (essentially black market or street value that Argentinians go by vs federal rate). BUT the market rate fluctuates quite a bit so I would use an app called Dolar Blue Hoy. It gives you a reference on what the federal, dolar blue and MEP rate are. MEP typically sits in between the two values of federal and dolar blue and Visa transactions are pretty close to it.

Yes you can use credit cards almost everywhere. And the exchange rate is almost the same as the "black market" so there is no need to change USD to Pesos in the black market like before. You still get 15~20% more value of your cash if you still do the USD to Pesos exchange in the "black market" (dolar blue). Search about this, there is multiple videos that talk about the blue rate, but if you gonna do this remember they ONLY ACCEPT, the newest 100$ USD bills, the ones with blue stripe, WITH ZERO DAMAGE. If you have old or slightly damaged bills they are going to offer WAY less money and is probably better to use credit card. Remember also that having to carry a lot of bills is a con. The most common bill here is $1000 that is equal to almost 1usd, so imaginate the amount of cash you need to carry everyday.

@Sh4rkill3r nailed it with all the info there!! Thanks for sharing! 100% agree carrying all that cash is a big con of not using card. And yes, you need to make sure to have super fresh, clean $100 USD bills or they may not exchange it.

Ecoparque was the old Buenos Aires Zoo that existed since 1888 and was "closed" in 2016, it has more than 40 historic buildings inside that represent the architecture of the countries the species were from. It stopped bringing new animals, moved the animals that were able to move to sanctuaries, and only left the animals that were too old to move or that the move make them too stress, to live in the park until they die. Its transitioning to an open park with no dangerous animals that can walk wherever they want and even between the people.

@@ChiusTravel Kosher means "pure" according to Jewish standards, all foods are certified according to a rabbi (Jewish priest), which enables or not, their consumption, according to Jewish customs. In this Mc Donalds can enter both Jews and non-Jews.

The boy of Asian origin talks about mosquitoes as in his origin, those countries have had malaria and other diseases that mosquitoes cause, he should be accustomed to living with mosquitoes because of his DNA.

We live in Singapore which is a tropical climate, so yes, we do have mosquitoes here. But thankfully the government does a good job to minimize how many mosquitoes there are. But we do have mosquitoes in Singapore that carry dengue virus 😢so need to be careful!
