Carlos, 

You rock.  Especially, the last sentence should come in handy to a lot of folks coming in from other countries.

Deat Takashi,

  My piece of advise is:

  • If you are going to take a taxi or remis, get it in the official stands that are just after passing customs. In the same area of customs you will find a Banco de la Nación Argentina to exchange money. Do not exchange money in other stands, the best rate will be the one of Banco Nación (national bank).
  • If you want to get to the hotel in a more inexpensive way go to the stand of Manuel Tienda León bus to "Terminal Madero" http://www.tiendaleon.com.ar/home/home.asp  It costs ARS 40, you can pay with credit card. Once in "Terminal Madero" take a taxi to the hotel. Every taxi driver should know where this hotel is and the price of the journey should be not less than ARS 13 and not more than ARS 20.
 
     If in trouble show this text to the taxi Driver:

   "Lléveme al Hotel Bauen, en Callao entre Sarmiento y Corrientes. He sido informado del recorrido y el precio que debo pagar por el viaje."

   (Take me to the Bauen hotel, in Callao Street between Sarmiento and Corrientes. I have been informed about the price of the journey)

Carlos.

Hi lists,

I'll arrive Ezeiza Airport at 09:20, Mon., Aug 24 by CO051 from Houston.
Would anybody like to share Remises to the Bauen Hotel?
Since I will leave Japan 15:55 JST (06:55 UTC), Sunday, 23rd, I hope to hear
somebody join me before I'm on board, but I'll keep effort to be
online at Houston.

Best,

--Takashi OTA
