Buenos Aires is a very beautiful city and an extremely large one at that. We are lucky because there is an excellent transport system that can take you pretty much anywhere you want to go. Buses are cheap and subways are even cheaper, and if you cannot get to where you want to go by either of these systems then a taxi will suffice. Taxis are also cheap but we have often noticed that they are takin...

Welcome!
Hey Clint! I came across your post and I liked to read your first impressions about my city. Just a few clarifications: "Catellano"is not the local dialect. It is what the world knows as "spanish". There are many languages in Spain (basque, catalan, galician, etc.. but the main one is castellano, from the old kingdom of Castille). This is the main official language in Spain and the one spoken throughout latin america 9with some logical variants). As for our "slang", it is called "lunfardo", and it is just street talk with some italian influences (italians make up more than 40% ofthe population, did you know?). By the way, I recently visited your country (saddly for only three days :-( ), and I only could see a little bit of CapeTown, but I loved it! I hope to visit again your country soon, since it's on my way to China, were I have to go every year for work... If you have any suggestion for my next visit, I'd like to know (I don't trust travel guides very much). I hope you enjoy your stay in BA. Have fun! LUIS
