Queensland’s Car Immobiliser Trial: A Success Story in Theft Reduction

Queensland has recently seen a significant drop in car theft rates thanks to its innovative car immobiliser trial. This program has not only showcased the effectiveness of immobilisers but also sparked discussions about expanding the initiative statewide. Let’s explore the trial’s results and what they mean for vehicle security in Queensland.

The Need for Improved Vehicle Security

Car theft has long been a pressing issue in Australia, particularly in Queensland. With rising crime rates, vehicle owners have become increasingly concerned about protecting their investments. This is where the car immobiliser trial comes in. By implementing advanced security systems, authorities aim to deter thieves and reduce theft rates significantly.

Overview of the Car Immobiliser Trial

The Queensland government launched the car immobiliser trial in response to growing concerns about vehicle theft. The trial focused on installing immobilisers in high-risk vehicles. These devices prevent the engine from starting without the correct key or code, making it nearly impossible for thieves to drive away.

Key Findings from the Trial

The results of the trial have been impressive. Here are some key takeaways:

Significant Reduction in Theft Rates The trial showed a remarkable decline in vehicle thefts in the areas where immobilisers were installed. This reduction highlights the effectiveness of these devices in preventing crime.

Increased Community Awareness The trial has raised awareness about the importance of vehicle security. Many residents have started to seek additional protection for their cars, including installing immobilisers.

Positive Feedback from Participants Participants in the trial reported feeling safer and more secure with their vehicles protected by immobilisers. This feedback underscores the value of implementing such security measures.

The Push for Statewide Expansion

Given the success of the trial, there is a growing push for a statewide rollout of car immobilisers. Policymakers and community leaders are advocating for broader access to these security systems. Here’s why statewide expansion makes sense:

1. Greater Protection for All Vehicle Owners

Expanding the immobiliser program will ensure that more vehicle owners benefit from this effective security measure. With the potential for a statewide rollout, thousands more vehicles could be protected from theft.

2. Long-term Cost Savings

Investing in car immobilisers can lead to long-term savings for both vehicle owners and insurance companies. By reducing theft rates, insurance claims can decrease, leading to lower premiums for everyone.

3. Strengthening Community Trust

A statewide immobiliser initiative can foster trust between law enforcement and the community. When residents see their government taking proactive steps to enhance security, it can strengthen their confidence in public safety measures.

Conclusion: A Bright Future for Vehicle Security in Queensland

The Queensland car immobiliser trial has demonstrated significant success in reducing vehicle theft rates. With compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of immobilisers, a statewide expansion is not only desirable but necessary. By investing in these security systems, Queensland can protect its residents and their vehicles more effectively.

As the push for statewide expansion gains momentum, vehicle owners should consider the benefits of installing car immobilisers. Enhanced security, peace of mind, and community support make this an essential step in safeguarding your investment.

How to Find a Tango Community Near You and Why It Matters

The allure of tango isn’t just about the steps or the music; it’s about the connection it creates between people. Whether you’re new to tango or a seasoned dancer, finding a tango community near you is crucial for developing your skills and deepening your love for this beautiful dance. In this article, we’ll explore how to find a tango community near you and why it matters for your journey as a tango dancer.

Why Finding a Tango Community Is Important

Tango is a dance of connection, both with your partner and with the larger tango community. When you’re part of a local tango group, you get more than just dance partners — you gain friends, mentors, and a support system that enhances your experience. Joining a community can help you:

Improve your dancing: Regular tango classes and practice sessions will fine-tune your skills.

Stay motivated: Dancing with others keeps your passion for tango alive.

Learn cultural aspects: Tango is deeply rooted in Argentine culture, and connecting with others can help you explore its history and traditions.

1. Start by Searching Online

The internet is your best friend when looking for a tango community near you. You can begin by searching for “tango lessons near me” or more specifically, “tango classes in Argentina” if you’re considering immersing yourself in the birthplace of tango.

Several websites and social media platforms list local tango classes, tango events, and even tango festivals. Look for:

Local dance schools: Many dance schools offer regular tango lessons and workshops.

Social media groups: Platforms like Facebook and Meetup often have tango groups where local events and classes are shared.

Tango-specific directories: Websites like TangoAfficionado or Tangomango list events and communities worldwide.

2. Attend Tango Events and Festivals

Tango events are not only a great way to improve your dancing but also to meet other enthusiasts. Attending a tango event in Argentina would be ideal, but even local events offer the chance to connect with like-minded dancers. Most communities organize:

Milongas: Social gatherings where tango dancers meet and practice.

Workshops: Intensive learning sessions with visiting instructors.

Tango shows in Argentina: For those lucky enough to visit Argentina, watching a live tango show is an immersive experience in the heart of tango culture.

Attending these events will help you get involved with the community, develop your skills, and discover more opportunities to learn and grow.

3. Visit a Dance School for Tango Lessons

If you’re serious about improving your tango technique, attending regular tango classes is essential. While it’s possible to learn some steps online, nothing beats in-person instruction. Dance schools offer structured lessons that allow you to progress from beginner to advanced levels.

For those looking for an authentic experience, tango classes in Argentina are the best way to learn from true tango masters. In addition, Argentina’s schools often host tango festivals and events where you can practice and perform.

4. Get the Right Gear: Tango Shoes and Clothing

Finding a tango community is important, but so is being prepared. Having the right shoes and clothing can make all the difference in how you dance. Wearing the right tango shoes in Argentina or even finding quality tango shoes locally can elevate your performance.

Tango shoes are specially designed to provide the right grip and support. They help you execute those tricky pivots and maintain balance. When attending tango lessons or events, wearing proper shoes not only improves your technique but also boosts your confidence.

5. Network with the Community

Once you’ve joined a local tango group, networking becomes important. Talk to people, ask for recommendations on where to buy tango shoes, and inquire about local or international tango festivals. Many people in the tango community are very welcoming and will be happy to share their experiences and tips.

You can even join discussions about tango events in Argentina, especially if you’re planning a trip. The community can provide invaluable advice about the best places to learn and perform tango in Buenos Aires, the city that gave birth to this passionate dance.

Why Tango Communities Make a Difference

Being part of a tango community offers so much more than just dance practice. It’s a space for creativity, learning, and personal growth. When you connect with others who share your passion, you create lasting friendships and memories. You’ll also be exposed to new techniques, dance styles, and the rich cultural heritage of tango.

For those who dream of experiencing tango in its purest form, tango lessons in Argentina or attending a live tango show in Argentina should be on your bucket list. But even if you’re not ready for a trip to Buenos Aires, you can still immerse yourself in tango through your local community.

Conclusion

Finding a tango community near you is one of the best ways to enhance your tango journey. Whether you’re searching for tango classes or events locally or dreaming of attending tango shows and festivals in Argentina, connecting with others will keep you motivated and help you grow as a dancer. So, lace up those tango shoes, step into a class or event, and let the magic of tango unfold!

Lostcauses Fic: Buenos Aires Hora Cero

It was such a pleasure to collaborate with the fabulously talented @seitsen-sarvi for @erurivacayzine. I've wanted to write a fic set in Buenos Aires forever and Marie's beautiful art captures the atmosphere perfectly 💕

Huge thanks to the mods for running this lovely project and for inviting us to contribute.

~~

The tango holiday to Buenos Aires had been Marie’s idea. She had come home from a night out waxing lyrical about a couple of friends who had recently taken up tango.

“It sounds wonderful, Erwin. They said it revitalised their relationship, I’ve never seen them look so happy! We should try it, please can we, darling?”

Erwin had agreed without hesitation, suggesting they sign up for classes at the local community centre, but Marie being Marie, had set her heart on a tango holiday to Buenos Aires. Despite his misgivings about the extravagant cost and his ability to dance, Erwin had been only too happy to agree. Anything to make Marie happy, no?

In hindsight, he should have recognised it for what it was; a last-ditch attempt to salvage a flagging relationship that had been on the rocks for well over a year. When Marie finally announced she wanted to end the relationship a month later, Erwin was deeply hurt but he wasn’t entirely surprised. He wasn’t blind, he could see it wasn’t working, that they weren’t making each other happy. The intimacy they’d once shared was a distant memory, he was just too much of a coward to admit it. What did surprise him was the speed with which Marie announced her engagement after a whirlwind romance with his erstwhile friend Nile. Unfortunately by the time they split up it was too late to cancel the holiday. Erwin gallantly offered both tickets to Marie and Nile as an engagement gift but she had curtly informed him that they were far too busy planning the wedding, and besides, Nile had no interest in something as trivial as learning tango.

“What am I going to do with two tickets for a dance holiday in Argentina?” he moaned to Mike. “I don’t know the first thing about salsa.”

“Tango,” Nanaba corrected him.

“See? I don’t even know the difference.”

“You should go anyway,” Mike encouraged him. “Buenos Aires is an incredible city.”

“And tango is so passionate,” Nanaba chipped in brightly. “Who knows you might even meet your soulmate!”

“That last thing I want right now is another relationship,” Erwin winced.

“You should go, a change is as good as a rest and all that. You could do with taking your mind off…things,” Mike finished tactfully.

The Gods of Tango by Carolina De Robertis

goodreads

February 1913: seventeen-year-old Leda, carrying only a small trunk and her father’s cherished violin, leaves her Italian village for a new home, and a new husband, in Argentina. Arriving in Buenos Aires, she discovers that he has been killed, but she remains: living in a tenement, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. Still, she is seduced by the music that underscores life in the city: tango, born from lower-class immigrant voices, now the illicit, scandalous dance of brothels and cabarets. Leda eventually acts on a long-held desire to master the violin, knowing that she can never play in public as a woman. She cuts off her hair, binds her breasts, and becomes “Dante,” a young man who joins a troupe of tango musicians bent on conquering the salons of high society. Now, gradually, the lines between Leda and Dante begin to blur, and feelings that she has long kept suppressed reveal themselves, jeopardizing not only her musical career, but her life

Mod opinion: I haven't read this book before and personally I'm not interested, but this might be an interesting narrative about someone figuring out his gender if you enjoy historical fiction more than I do.

Day 7 - Buenos Aires

As per new norm I am awake in the night but manage to sleep in and wake up to breakfast and tea made ❤️

Yet again we think we have a casual morning until we realise we are gong to be late for our La Boca tour at 11:00, our Uber gets us there through hellish traffic at 11:05 and they are still waiting for people for a few mins - phew! We need to learn to stress less.

The tour is by an American guy who has lived here for 10 years and studied Latin American history. La Boca is so different to the rest of the city! We immediately feel that it’s a bit more gritty but as per the rest of the time here don’t feel unsafe at all.

The tour is another 2 hours jam packed with history. First of all it’s fascinating to know that 50-60% of Argetntinanians are from Italian heritage! It was a port and the area was very working class. We hear lots about the man who founded this area as the arts epicentre of BA. He made his fortune selling paintings overseas and brought money back to La Boca.

The tour ends up at La Bombonera the home of the Boca Juniors. We hear the history of the British and Italian influence, plus the reason that the stadium is D shaped is became the designer wasn’t able to purchase the last piece of land. It gives it a unique reflective sound from the chants that is intimidating to the opponent.

There is just enough time to grab Choripán (why is this not sold more widely - it’s so good!!)

We grab an Uber to the Museo del Banco Central. Yes we have on multiple occasions been recommended the tour of Teatro Colón but we have decides to do the tour the central bank because we are dorks. It turns out that the 2pm Inglés tour is not happening because of a staff meeting so we start so get ready for a self guided tour. Just in time Victoria comes rushing in to give us a personalised guided tour in English. It’s so interesting to get her vast history knowledge as told via the currency.

Lots of stories tie in with what we have already heard. My big surprise is the influence that the British had on Argentina (good and bad)… I always just thought of it as as just being Spanish influenced. She talks openly about Milei selling off all public assets and is not happy about it.

We head over to a place that does Tango shows so that we can buy tickets for tonight’s show. We have a few hours so we grab a cocktail at a bar near Casa Rosada followed by a Patagonian IPA at a pub.

Then it’s time for the show which is really good, the dancers are complete pros and the music is great!

Afterwards they provide us transport back to Palermo where we grab dinner at another restaurant recommended to us. By this time we order it’s about 10:30pm so we are starving!! We both get Quesadillas which are great. After dinner is done we head home but I can’t sleep straight away so it turns into a late night.

5 Interesting non ficction books

The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara

“Che Guevara is most commonly known as the Marxist revolutionary minister of Cuba, but before this, he was a mere medical student living in Buenos Aires, his home, who wanted little more than to see the world. With his friend, Alberto Granado, at the young age of 23, he set off on a motorcycle journey across South America with plans to see all the sites they had only ever read about in books.”

 Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read

“Alive is the story of how an amateur rugby team from Uruguay survived in the Andes after their plane crashed in the mountains between Chile and Argentina on its way to Santiago Chile. This story is so unbelievable, it has to be true”

The Tango Singer by Tomás Eloy Martínez

“Argentina is the birthplace of tango. It was once the dance known in 1880s brothels and lower class back alleys. It was fast, sensual, and disreputable. The Tango Singer follows the life of Bruno Cadogan, who flew from New York to Buenos Aires in search of the legendary tango singer, Julio Martel.”

El Túnel by Ernesto Sábato

“The Tunnel is a highly acclaimed Argentinian novel about psychological and obsessive love. It was first published in 1948 and has since become an international bestseller. It tells the story of an artist, Juan Pablo Castel, who recalls the murder of a woman called María Iribarne from the cell of his prison.”

“As one of the best young Spanish-language novelists of the 21st century, Patricio Pron’s deeply emotional story of My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain is one of the finest books about Argentina today.”

Buenos Aires’ Tango Soul: A Cultural Dive into Argentina’s Capital

Buenos Aires, often called the "Paris of South America," is a city where European elegance meets Latin passion. Known for its rich history, vibrant neighborhoods, and of course, the iconic dance of Tango, Argentina’s capital offers a cultural experience like no other. For any traveler looking to dive into the soul of this dynamic metropolis, exploring the art, music, and food of Buenos Aires provides a deep connection to the Argentine way of life. Here’s a guide to discovering the city’s cultural heartbeat.

Begin at Plaza de Mayo: A Window into Argentina’s History

Start your journey at Plaza de Mayo, the historic and political center of Buenos Aires. This square has witnessed Argentina’s most significant moments, from protests to presidential speeches. Surrounding the plaza are important landmarks like the Casa Rosada, Argentina’s presidential palace, with its distinctive pink façade. History buffs can take a tour of the palace and even stand on the famous balcony where Eva Perón addressed the masses.

A visit to the Catedral Metropolitana, the city’s main Catholic church, offers a glimpse into Buenos Aires’ colonial past. The remains of General José de San Martín, Argentina’s national hero, rest here, making it a must-see for those interested in the country’s fight for independence.

San Telmo: The Bohemian Heart of Buenos Aires

Next, head to the neighborhood of San Telmo, known for its cobblestone streets, antique shops, and a bohemian atmosphere that reflects the city’s creative soul. On Sundays, the San Telmo Market comes alive with street performers, tango dancers, and artisan stalls selling everything from handmade crafts to vintage treasures. The market is a great place to enjoy local food, so be sure to try a traditional Argentine empanada or a glass of Malbec wine.

San Telmo is also home to many milongas—traditional tango dance halls—where locals gather to practice and perform this passionate dance. If you’re feeling adventurous, join a class and learn the basics of tango, or simply watch the skilled dancers glide across the floor. Tango is more than just a dance in Buenos Aires; it’s a way of life that expresses the city’s deep emotions and spirit.

La Boca: Tango’s Birthplace and a Riot of Color

No cultural dive into Buenos Aires is complete without a visit to La Boca, the birthplace of tango. Famous for its colorful houses and artistic vibe, La Boca is where Italian immigrants first settled in the late 19th century. The neighborhood’s most famous street, Caminito, is like an open-air museum where you can see street performers dancing tango, browse through art stalls, and enjoy the lively energy of this eclectic district.

La Boca is also home to the legendary La Bombonera stadium, where you can catch a match of Boca Juniors, one of Argentina’s most famous football clubs. Even if you’re not a sports fan, the passion and intensity of a Boca Juniors match is an unforgettable experience, reflecting the city’s love for football.

Recoleta: Elegance and Art

For a different perspective on Buenos Aires, visit Recoleta, an upscale neighborhood known for its grand architecture, museums, and leafy parks. The highlight of Recoleta is the Recoleta Cemetery, a labyrinth of elaborate mausoleums and tombs, including the final resting place of Eva Perón. Wandering through the cemetery feels like walking through history, as many of Argentina’s most prominent figures are buried here.

Recoleta is also home to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, where you can admire works by both Argentine and international artists. The neighborhood’s many cafés and plazas are perfect for relaxing and soaking in the refined atmosphere.

Palermo: Where Art and Nature Meet

For a modern take on Buenos Aires, explore Palermo, the city’s trendiest district. Divided into smaller sub-neighborhoods like Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood, this area is known for its chic boutiques, street art, and buzzing nightlife. Palermo is also home to some of the city’s best restaurants, where you can indulge in asado, Argentina’s famous barbecue, or enjoy a late-night cocktail at one of the many stylish bars.

Nature lovers will enjoy a peaceful walk through Bosques de Palermo, a sprawling park with lakes, rose gardens, and plenty of open space to relax. The Japanese Garden is another highlight, offering a serene escape in the middle of the city.

Tango Shows and Theatres: Buenos Aires’ Performing Arts

For a night of entertainment, Buenos Aires offers numerous venues to experience tango shows, where professional dancers perform this elegant and passionate dance. The grand Teatro Colón, one of the most famous opera houses in the world, also hosts performances ranging from classical music to ballet and opera. A tour of the theatre reveals its opulent design and storied history as one of Argentina’s most important cultural institutions.

For a more intimate tango experience, head to a milonga, where locals gather for tango nights. Milongas are scattered throughout the city, and many of them offer lessons before the dancing begins, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in this quintessentially Argentine tradition.

Conclusion: Buenos Aires, A City of Passion and Culture

Buenos Aires is a city that pulses with culture, passion, and life. Whether you’re exploring its historic landmarks, dancing to the rhythm of tango, or savoring its world-renowned cuisine, the capital of Argentina offers a unique cultural experience at every turn.

For travelers looking to dive deeper into the city’s soul, tour operators like Roomchai Limited, Buenos Aires Walking Tours, and Tango Trip can help guide you through Buenos Aires’ rich offerings, ensuring you don’t miss the hidden gems that make this city so captivating.

Argentina 🇦🇷

Girls trip with my besties!

Day 1 - Buenos Aires

Arrived at EZE around 11AM, took an Uber to our Airbnb in Palermo. neighborhood (cost ~19USD for the uber) which took ~50-60 mins. Spent the afternoon walking around Palermo and stopping in cute stores. We had great ice cream at Rapa Nui. In the evening we went for drink at Cochinchina - the drinks were great and the decor/atmosphere were really cool. Then we went to Boticario, a cute old pharmacy themed cocktail bar.

Day 2 - Buenos Aires

Did a great walking tour of Recoleta & Rosario neighborhoods which was a great way to learn some of the history. This one took us to the fancier 'Paris of South America' parts of the city. These tours are free and fantastic (there are severa offered), tip based and the typical tip is ~10-20USD. We ended the tour near the famous Recoleta Cemetery and there was a very cute market (Recoleta Market in Plaza Francia) with craft stalls outside of it. There is a nice cultural center that is free to enter as well and supposedly has great coffee and dancing at night. We ate a nice italian meal at one of the fancy restaurants on the street next to the green space. There is also a really cool tree in the green space that is worth seeing. Then we went to the Recoleta Cemetery, the tickets were a little pricey ~18USD and we walked around on our own. The famous mausoleum to visit is Eva Perón ('Evita'), the famous singer and also wife of former president. Then we went back to our airbnb took a little rest, when to Tres Monos bar (a local favorite but I found it mid), and then went to a tango class at La Virtua Tango in Palermo (cost ~5USD). The class itself was separated by levels and then there is free dance with lots of locals who were absolutely incredible to watch. You can just show up, no reservation needed to take the class and there will be plenty of people to dance with so you don't need to come in a pair. Tango is amazing and sexy and it is incredible watching these people so in sync even though it is not choreographed and doesn't follow any obvious beat. They have several classes a few times a week including classic rock, salsa, tango and they have shows with live music and then open dance. I recommend messaging them on instagram to make a table reservation for the show portion after the lesson. This was a highlight of the trip!

Day 3 - Tigre (1/2 day trip from BA)

Took a day trip to Tigre which was an easy train ride from BA. However, once you get there it can be a little tricky to figure out which boat to take around the water ways. We waited in line and took a boat to a stop that we found on instagram, but it wasn't anything particularly worth stopping at so you could find other restaurants and go to those by boat. You have to wait on the pier and catch another boat to pick you up and bring you back, there isn't really a clear schedule coming back so allow enough time and make sure you know the time of the last boat. Then we walked along the water in town and had great ice cream at Heladeria Via Toscana. Then took the train back to BA.

There is a Palermo Market on Saturday & Sundays in Plaza Serrano in Palermo Soho 2-8PM and also Palermo Viejo market in Plaza Armenia 10AM-8PM in Palermo Viejo. Didn't make it to these but they seemed cute.

Day 4 - Buenos Aires

Woke up and did another walking tour with the same company of La Boca neighborhood (this one is not free, 14000 pesos). It was interesting to learn about the working class history of the city and see Boca Juniors stadium; only members can get tickets to these soccer games but someone always has a guy who will sell you tickets. Would definitely be fun to go to, but can be very pricey like probably 200-400 USD per ticket. Online there is lots of talk that this is a very dangerous neighborhood and you will get mugged if you are on your phone or anything, during the day it did not really feel like that to me. Felt very touristy and colorful. Had a great lunch I believe at El Burladero where we ordered the set lunch menu. We then went to El Ateneo Grand Splendid book store which is in an old opera house, definitely beautiful but not necessarily worth going out of the way for. Then we went to the airport to fly to Puerto Iguazu.

Day 5 - Iguazu Falls

Took the bus to the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls on the first bus of the day at 715 (I believe this cost 7000 or 5000 pesos), entry cost was ~50USD. We did the upper circuit first and had such an emotional reaction the moment the first view of the falls opened up to us. It is so vast and powerful and felt like some movie/true exploration like finding something amazing in the wild. There were also beautiful butterflies flying all over which felt like a disney movie. There were also Coaties animals which are like raccoon/anteater, beware they bite so don't touch or approach. Then we did the lower circuit. Then we took the bus back to town and caught another bus to the Brazil side of the falls (I think this was cheaper at 2500 or 3500 pesos). The Brazil side only had like one walking trail but it had more incredible views of the falls in my opinion and it had one section that was built out onto a water ledge next to a fall and you get soaked and it felt so good and was so fun. Don't miss the last bus of the day to the argentinian side which leaves at 5:30PM though the park closes at 6PM. You stop at customs on the bus at the border in both directions. Then we had beer at Patagonia right near the bus depot which was fun for happy hour, then dinner at an italian restaurant that sounded promising but was so mid.

Day 6 - Iguazu Falls

Went back to the Argentinian side in the morning and did a 5km hike that I would not recommend, then redid the upper circuit which was amazing as always. Then took the bus to the airport. The airport has a really nice lounge that we got into with Priority Pass, had to fly to BA (AEP airport, also with a nice priority pass lounge) before catching a flight to Medoza.

Day 7 - Mendoza

Our first day in Mendoza was kind of cold and rainy which is so sad because Mendoza has like 320 sunny days a year and was beautiful weather right before we arrived and right after we left. We did an excursion with the morning spent at Potrerillos Valley which was beautiful and worth seeing then a nice lunch and then from 3-6pm we went to Cacheuta Thermal Baths Spa (~70USD). There was a full day option and the lunch is supposedly quite good at the spa but it would be too much time in the hot springs in my opinion. It is nestled in the mountains and the water was so blue and warm and was a perfect way to spend our cold day. Then we went to dinner and Anna Bistro which was ok but a very cute setting, there's a nice outdoor patio.

Day 8 - Mendoza

Full-day wine tour that we booked on Viator (170USD) to Lujan de Cuyo. They also have a Uco Valley option. We went to 4 wineries and had lunch at the third. We were drunk by the second place and had so much fun with the other people on the tour. However, I would simply book directly through the Trout & Wine tour website because I think it is the same tour at a slightly cheaper price. Had a great time but the price was kind of high especially since we couldn't drink at all the places since we were too drunk lol. It was also cloudy so we couldn't see the Andes surrounding the wineries which was so so sad for me.

Day 9 - Buenos Aires

Flew back to Buenos Aires, unfortunately, our flight was changed to EZE instead of AEP since AEP is right in the city and EZE is about 40 minutes away. We chose to stay in San Telmo which was a great choice to see another neighborhood with cool architecture compared to Palermo. We went to Museo de las Belas Artes (free!) and enjoyed some art. Then went to the famous Floreria Atlántico bar which was good. Then we went back to our apartment to get ready and then we went to Palermo and had more drinks at Rey de Copas which had such fun drinks and a very cool interior. Then we went dancing at La Mala Pub and we stayed out until like 4AM but the place was still going strong.

Day 10 - Buenos Aires

The famous Sunday San Telmo market was fun to walk around. We had good empanadas at El Hornero. Then we did another walking tour of the City Center (with our favorite guide Jenny) which took us around Congress and the pink presidential palace. Then we headed to a cafe for a quick bite before going to the airport for our night flight back to the states.

Tips:

I would spend less time in Buenos Aires and go to Bariloche or maybe the top point of Patagonia like Calafate or north like Salta instead

The food is bad so don't center your trip around eating, though the food in Mendoza was significantly better than anywhere else

It's a huge country!

To get the blue rate you can exchange $100 US dollar bills at western unions or brave Florida Ave where you can go to cambios and negotiate a rate with individuals. At the time of our trip we got 930 pesos for $1 USD when exchanging $100 bills when the official rate was 840-860 pesos per USD. This rate fluctuates and inflation and the exchange rates are changing constantly there.

Things start very late there, bars don't get fun until after midnight and will stay open past 4AM and things don't start or feel open until at least 10AM

You can fly with 6 bottles of wine in addition to your carry on that don't count towards your luggage weight limit on internal flights! This is amazing overall the security for internal flights is fast and not strict on liquids

Internal flights and security are very convenient and move fast but there were a lot of flight changes between airports in buenos aires and the timing of flights, but the security took a long time at EZE so budget lots of time there. None of our bags were weighed on internal flights even though they are budget airlines.

Don't miss Iguazu Falls, it's a little touristy and you don't need tons of time but it is worth the trip

Pay attention to the difference between blue and red rates because it was so close that for us many times it was fine to use card which is more convenient than carrying around loads of cash

Overall I felt very safe in Argentina though was surprised with how difficult it was to get around/communicate especially since everyone in our group took spanish in school. I would not recommend it to someone who has no or very poor spanish skills. Few people spoke english in Buenos Aires which I found surprising.

We got around BA mostly by uber since the exhange rate was so good this was a cheap option; however the public transportation is quite good - you will need a Subte cards bought at local convenience store and each ride is 300 pesos. Buses are better and more popular than the underground.
