Post #2- What about Maps and How to Arrive Maps?

TO MAKE A START.....

Thanks to a  City Council new policy, Buenos Aires was dramatically changed from five years ago to present. I think, from tourists'point of view...it's getting better!

-You have free bikes to use with a Bike Circuit in the City

(take a look to : http://lavidaenbici.com/buenosaires/). You only need to take your ID or Passport with you....

(From La Vida En Bici, Facebook Argentina)

_Subway in Buenos Aires, has provided new Ads for example in Peru (LINE D station) with best sights in the City. And clear maps to arrive anywhere.

-http://www.metrovias.com.ar/v2/html/mapa_subte_ampliado.htm

QUICK METROBUS CIRCUIT!

Please take a look at this map and streets!

http://www.xcolectivo.com.ar/metrobus/maparecorridojuanbjusto.php

 Security advice: some robbers have used Metrobus stop. It is recommended to take a look at my security advices . Try to avoid rush hours. I will be improving and completing all kinds of advices for helping tourists to enjoy a nice time in our beautiful city!

WHAT ABOUT TRAINS IN BA?

Trains network in Buenos Aires was designed for an overeseas purpose, during the late 1800's. 

Wheat and cattle were sent in wagons to Buenos Aires Port and then put into ships.

For this reason, all  train lines converge in the Port City, Buenos Aires, but they  are not related among them.

 Anyway, you can make a mix between trains, bus lines or Metro lines and travel very easily. It is very useful to carry a map which may have all these services together or to have each one of them.

TRAIN SERVICES RELIABILITY

I strongly suggest you do not use SARMIENTO LINE, until Government improves its service!

The other lines, specially MITRE (from Retiro), used for touristic places such as Tigre, are more reliable and comfortable.

ADVICE FOR FOREIGNERS IN BUENOS AIRES # 1

ARGENTINA’S HOLIDAYS: LET’S MAKE IT SIMPLE!

I am Argentinean; my name is Liliana Ester Long. Why this handbook?

 Loving to foreigners should be a life principle which helps us to enjoy life.

We as human race are foreigners in the other parts of the unknown universe.

Everybody outside his own country is an outsider.

If we are good guests, we will be well received when we travel abroad.

Give and it will be given.

 (This is me…)  Further   questions  or comments? More services required?

  liliconfines@gmail.com or text messages only to: 54001555602304

And, apart from this post, I strongly recommend to take a look at this site:

 http://www.turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar/es  Spanish and English Version, from Buenos Aires City Council page.

Some tips to avoid robbery:

USE OF CAMERAS AND OTHER EXPENSIVE ACCESSORIES (MP5, CELL PHONES,ETC)

-When you go to see the sights, try to keep a low profile, using casual clothes. We suggest you that your cameras/mp5,   may be hidden in your bags until the very moment you use them.

- I’ve seen with my eyes an innocent and relaxed tourist with her camera hanging from her right hand, (her hand was in a loose position), walking in the street( in this case,  one of the most important Avenues in Buenos Aires). By miracle, no one stole her camera . Do not imitate her. Your cameras should be kept in your bags or suitcases or purses/handbags.

Use of the restaurant toilettes

-I saw another person in Burger King (Corrientes and Florida corner), to let her bag on the table and go to the Ladies Room. She was not stolen by miracle. We suggest you to take all your personal belongings when going to the toilettes.

USE OF BAGS

-Concerning the use of bags: you can find in our stores, special bags that can be kept safely, behind your arms or even keeping your hidden money. (Inner bags, or hip bags, made of cotton material).

 Well-known Farmacity stores and others   are selling these inner bags in different sizes.

(Note: the name of these “extra-security” accessories in Farmacity is this one: “The travel ANTIROBO SCHKON accessories). Herein I copied/pasted Farmacity addresses in Buenos Aires City and some provinces in our country. You can search other stores on the website:
