Guides and General Info on Buenos Aires

First of all I would like to welcome you all to Buenos Aires.  I hope your stay will be as exciting and fulfilling as mine has proven to be.  So far, I have been here since late 2006 and love every minute of my life here.

I have a website with good information regarding Buenos Aires that is in English and has some great resources, guides, etc. and events listed. 

http://goodmorningba.com

I also host monthly events as the Buenos Aires Ambassador for InterNations.org, an international website for expatriates and others with "Global Minds".  If anyone needs an invitation there just drop me an email. Also, any events I host with them will be on the Good Morning BA site.  (And there is never a cover charge or entry fee for these events and I actually manage to negotiate good specials on food and drinks.)

Also, I would recommend the following guides during your stay.  I have found them all to be very helpful.
