In these days of cheap peso, glowing Argentine culture and hundreds of social and cultural options is hard not to LOVE the city of good airs. The sophistication and beauty of this South American capital has become even more appealing to Americans in recent years because they conceive it as a new found paradise long term second home. Attracted by a number of different features, hundreds of middle class and upper class Americans find in Buenos Aires a perfect place to enjoy safely and broadly the life experiences of their dreams. Unlike Europe, which has become sort of impossible to visit unless you’re a truly rich person; Buenos Aires, and Argentina in general, have become a brilliant alternative to great cultural and social trips. If once upon a time, Paris was the land of lovers and Rome that of seduction, nowadays that is Buenos Aires. The sexy sensual Argentine dance of Tango is an everlasting magnet that has mutated from a short escape to a need, hence a long term relocating option. Knight Ridder Washington newspaper has broadly developed this matter throughout its pages lately. Other major American papers such as The Times have also began to inquire about this new and interesting global world phenomena that is so appealing to average culture lovers Americans. Since the crack down in 2002, Buenos Aires has resurged from the ashes as the Phoenix becoming a major world pole in terms of culture and investments. And it’s not only about the money bringing more money, for the city of Tango’s unique flavor in terms of Latin and European perfect blend shaped in the best Argentine feel interests in far more deeper ways than profitable investments. Buenos Aires has become the symbol of a self investment in enjoying life’s pleasures. Its fine dinning, gorgeous people, posh culture and moneymaking investments all converge into pointing Buenos Aires as a dream goal. It’s easy to access, and enjoyable to the most. Whether you have a million dollars and come to Buenos Aires to live like a magnate without worrying about work or problems; or you’re just on a good budget and turn to the southern capital for a lifetime experience, this is a city where you’ll find all what you’re looking for and much more than you’ve expected. A true sense of “Argentine” has developed as an outcome of the last breakdown. Sensed both by locals and visitors –even more those who from visitors become newcomers, and soon turn to be a typical local Porteno as we refer to those who were born and raised in this portside city. When importations became too expensive, and the global culture turn to be hard to approach in a complicated financial situation, locals turned to their roots and brought them to the third millennium. Fashion, arts, crafts, culture in general was re-born in a fascinating way. From eating traditions, products and cooking skills to fine artists and painters, the cultural world of Argentina developed at a fantastic rate chipping into the world’s culture basket with its own flavor and at a Tango rhythm

Being sensual, being a global tango dancer while in Buenos Aires. The great flow of travelers coming to the River Plate in search of a life experience of dance and sensuality grows by the minute. Buenos Aires is the place where the sensual dance was born late in the 19th century, and to where tango lovers from around the planet turn to for a true encounter with the dance, its traditions, its unique features and to discover its modern place in the Argentine and global culture. Tango is a dual word, for it makes reference both to the dance and the music. And while this last meaning was the one that prevailed throughout the second half of the twentieth century and the first one got left behind in the darkness of late milongas –tango dance places- and complicated cultural features; it’s in these third millennium days when and where the original dance has retuned to the centerline of society and world around attention. The ritualized ceremony of tango, the costume dress and suit, the special shoes and the rich brilliantly executed music has been exported around the globe by passionate Argentines. Now you can tango in Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco… but there’s no place like the birth place, the true originality of Buenos Aires and its people. Tango dancers from all over the globe flow to Buenos Aires for the true thing. The intrinsic magic within the atmosphere is truly appealing to those coming to BA. That individual who back home lives a pretty normal life, works every day from 9 to 5, and enjoys weekends with family and friends chilling at home or outing… when in Buenos Aires, all dressed up in tango outfit, heading towards a milonga ballroom and inviting a gorgeous local dancer to join him or her at the dance floor takes them to a world of fantasy and sensuality where anything and everything can happen. There are countless life stories of tango fans relocating permanently or semi permanently to Buenos Aires for an everlasting tango oriented life with all those things you’ve dreamed of and much more. This South American capital city is not only culturally and socially appealing to people around the globe, but it’s also really affordable in a great living sense. The local currency is 3 to one Dollar or 3.5 to one Euro, so your life expenses when in Buenos Aires or anywhere else in Argentina drop to an extent that for the same money you spend back home in an average existence, down in BA you get to live the life you’ve ever dreamt of. As the Knight Ridder journalist Anne Chalfant described in her recent piece on Affordable Argentina: “Some people, such as longtime Oakland, Calif., resident Deby Novitz, can't settle for a few weeks a year. In December 2004, the 52-year-old technology consultant sold her house in California and moved to Buenos Aires to dance full time. She picked up an affordable three-bedroom apartment in the city's ritzy Palermo neighborhood and has turned it into a guesthouse for visiting dancers. It's often booked two months in advance.” Deby though American is now a true Argentine tango citizen, living the life she always dreamt of… The testimonials of those life changing decisions are endless, for in some way Buenos Aires and Argentina have become an earthy paradise to which people seeking to enjoy life to its most relocate and make their dreams come true!
