Planning my 30th birthday trip (April 2021) and considering either going to Abu Dhabi or Buenos Aires for a week. 5 star accommodations in both cities, flight and hotel combined come out to the same for both. Never been to either. Opinions?

Skip the UAE go to BA you’ll like it a lot more. Much more rich experience.

These cities are completely different. I would personally recommend Buenos Aires over Abu Dhabi any day of the week, but it completely depends on your interests. These places are almost polar opposites

like

Buenos Aires for sure. So much rich culture and good food (best steaks and empanadas I’ve had in my life). Abu Dhabi’s nice but too manicured in my opinion.

like

Buenos Aires for sure. Loved it there.

Abu Dhabi is exactly like the US (outside of New York/ SF). Would also recommend BA

BA and it’s not even close

BA was incredible. If you're up for it, hop over to Mendoza for some vino.

Latin America is a major hot spot for the virus, best to skip it next year or until they have access to vaccines.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
