BsAs Traveller Tips: Don’t forget your credit card
Argentinian ATM’s steal your cards. It’s a conspiracy, it has to be. In the first two months here I left my card in the machine three times. Three! As el ex presidente George Bush would say; … fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — You can’t get fooled again.
Granted, I have foolish tendencies, but leaving credit cards behind is not usually one of them. In the last year I’ve travelled through USA, Canada and Mexico and not left a single card behind. (Well… there was that one card I left behind the bar at MezzanineSF, but that’s because it was holding a $160 bar tab. Plus it was maxed…. so it doesn’t really count.)

BsAs Traveller Tips: Learn a little Spanish
I didn’t know any Spanish before I got to Buenos Aires – nada. It was a little rude really, but I booked my ticket less than a week before I arrived so it didn’t leave me much time for classes. Luckily most people speak a little English and I didn’t starve; I managed to do my shopping, wash my clothes and rent an apartment with perhaps five Spanish words, a lot of hand gestures, Google Translate and the kindness of the porteños.
The first week would have been a lot more enjoyable – and a lot less embarrassing – if I’d learn at least some basics. I had many cringe-worthy moments, many blank stares, even a few shakes of the head (but don’t worry, I was always sure to wear my Obama shirts so’s that they would think I was American). And so, in the great tradition of don’t do what I did advisitorials, here is some basics to get you started.
