    Y si, es tal cual así pero en el area de B.A. en el norte del pais de donde viene mi familia, inmigrantes Alemanes. Provincia de Misiones, es algo distinto, el acento no es con "y" es con "LL", el mate se toma diferente y la comida varía un poco, en resumen. B.A. italiana, Misiones , polacos, alemanes, rusos y ukranianos. Argentina tiene distancias muy grandes y cada provincia casi que tiene su cultura algo diferente.

    So I'm from NYC and have traveled the entire country to Europe extensively as well as India and Canada, I'm very curious about South America and especially Argentina as it's kinda tucked away and isolated from the old world and North America, I'm a lawyer here in NYC and and am super intigued to Argentina and am thinking of living there and working remotely. This video helped a lot. Question to you is how much did you miss the states when you lived in Argentina?

    • @DontWonderExplore
      @DontWonderExplore 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Andrew, I’m happy that this video provided some help to you! “How much did I miss the states” well, I did at times like one would traveling anywhere, BUT I think the biggest factor that might help you in not missing home is “how good is your Spanish?” If, you’re fluent OR think you can get there in 6-12 months I think you will have a drastically different experience than if you aren’t! The second thing I’d say would be your network or friend group…if you plan to plug into the “foreigner” groups that are here I’d say you might not feel that lonely, isolated, or miss the US much BUT past that I really think it is subjective to each person as how much you rely on NY foods and culture vs. how open are you to adapting to new foods and cultures for say a year! My experience in Buenos Aires had me missing my family for sure and missing traveling extensively BUT I do believe it would have been different had my Spanish been better & had I worked to cultivate more of a community outside of my girlfriends family. “I enjoyed my time, but the language provided some barriers for sure”. Hope that helps!

    Many of us (Argentines) don't like to be unpunctual or hear loud noises, and so on. We are not all the same, like in many other countries. In my opinion, and I speak for a lot of locals, one thing that is overrated in many ways is passion, excessive passion. One extreme (but real) example is football, from being called "cold blood" or "cold chest" if you're not interested on it at all, to literally killing somebody else for being fan of another team. As a society, there are a lot of things we need to learn, like being tolerant, thoughtful and more respectful with each other. I think this many cultural changes got started, I hope we make it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Lovely video.

    • @DontWonderExplore
      @DontWonderExplore 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Diego! 100% agree. Everyone is different. This was just my experience of course & I was trying to give an overall impression to the viewers. From my experience “time” seemed to be a lot more elastic in Argentina and less punctual in general than in the USA where people could say it’s too much. BUT also it depends where you live of course…. BA , NYC OR the campo and countryside in my country. “Passion” yes I heard that “word” thrown around a lot AND was told that we “Yankees” don’t have the same passion as Argentines do, lol. I agree with your points of each society needing to learn new things, be more open, and adjust to the changing times!! Let’s hope more countries USA, Argentina, and others choose to go towards that direction to be more open to change and alternative ways of thinking. Thanks for your comment & thanks for watching! Cheers

    These are “culture shocks” to Americans who have never left the country, or even their state. Those who have traveled to at least Europe will not find any of these things shocking.

    • @DontWonderExplore
      @DontWonderExplore 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I disagree. I’ve lived some years outside of the USA and have traveled a good amount and yet, in my opinion, these were actual culture shocks in daily life. Like I referenced to the British commenter here I believe that a lot of these cultural norms are more similar to European cultural norms than the U.S. norms…AND when you actually live in a place for awhile versus just passing through you will experience the shocks a bit more intensely in my experience!

    I am originally Syrian living in San Diego, Ca for 42 years, definitely we have the same culture in Syria. Moving soon to Mar del plata around November this year I believe it is a great city to have fun, partying and living life like no tomorrow. Always been free spirited and loving the world. I have searching more than 30 countries to retire and living the last of my years in fun country. After extensive research, I believe Mar Del Plata is the right city for me. What do you think ? Am I right? Or you have different city you recommend ? My budget around 2500 US DOLLARS per month, however I all ready searched some condos for sale, thinking seriously to buy a condo there. Any tips or advice, greatly appreciated.

      Well, to be fare I think it depends on how much one has traveled AND what’s your “normal routine” back at home for starters. AND to your point, I feel that the Argentine culture has way more similarities to European culture than to the US culture so maybe that’s why you felt this way?

Being that the currency topic was a small part of this video 1 out of 16 shocks, I really wasn’t able to spend the time diving deeply into each topic. “The video would be much much longer.” As you know, one could talk for awhile about that particular topic. I was also in AR from about Nov. 2022 to Jan 2024 so before prices started spiking and before Millei adjusted the rates so things have changed as of late. All the best!

    A couple things for me. First lunch over here. It's a complete dinner meal haha. I'm used to eat only one hot meal for dinner and during the day not to eat that much. So you really need to watch out not get overweighted in Argentina. Second thing for me is the lack of structure and organize. In the country i'm from we over do it, but in Argentina everything takes way too long than it should take haha. Everything is way more basic and there is a lack of modern computer systems / structures to speed things up and simplify them. Also a big different is that people live way more from day to day or week to week and dont really think 2-3 steps ahead very often. They live more in the moment. I could name a couple more things but def the traffic in the big cities which is very chaotic ( again lack of structure and people just do whatever) combine this with bad roads.

    As an old retired person - power outages might be a real bad experience I'm not use to here in the US ! -- Not hearing English is not easy with all the illegals speaking Spanish everywhere I go in the US now !!! -- Uncomfortable not understanding a damn word ? -- Those others could be handled I think - even though unique and different. -- Cost of living on my fixed SS income is a bit of concern with the exchange rate so 'unpredictable' in the future ?

    • @DontWonderExplore
      @DontWonderExplore 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hello, there usually aren’t power outages in all of the areas, but it is something that I experienced more than a few times while there. If you aren’t interested in learning Spanish it could be a challenge for you, especially if that is how you already feel in the USA. Yes, there are Argentines that speak good English , like the ones who have commented here in English, but I did not experience it being widespread in my time there. Cost of living is variable at the moment. Well, there are 196 something countries out there so if staying in the USA isn’t your first choice you can look elsewhere!! Argentina is a great place to visit and live for some, depending on one’s interests and language skills, but it really all depends on what one is looking for!! All the best

    Our Spanish has a direct influence of Andalucian culture, since most Spaniards that came to these parts of the world were mostly from Andalucía. And the lunfardo comes mostly from Liguria, Calabria and Sicilia. Hence, that's why some people call us Spanish speaking Italians (It was a Fr*nch journalist, tho).

    I plan on visiting argentina for about 180 days (6 months). Plan to extend it at the 90 day mark like you mention here. My question relates to entering the country at first. Do they check if you have a return flight? Where you are staying for the duration? I am not sure if I book a return flight for 6 months later if it will be an issue, or if they let you in ez pz regardless. Did you have any return flights booked when entering?

    • @DontWonderExplore
      @DontWonderExplore 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey man! Yes, I’ve traveled a lot and this was one of the few times I got asked for onward travel plans! Actually, it’s usually the airline that will ask because they are responsible for returning you to your point of departure if you get refused by immigration. So you’ll probably be asked at your departure airport gate, if you are asked. See my YT short on the channel about more on this!! **they do ask at immigration where you are staying and simply having the address of your hotel, Abnb, hostel suffices! Onward ticket: BOOK a cheap onward ticket fully refundable to Chile, Brasil, or Uruguay and then if you decide not to use that ticket then cancel it after you arrive to your destination. (My advice) Just make sure you see the t & c’s of the “fully-refundable” part so you don’t lose your money, if in fact you aren’t taking that onward flight! Enjoy Argentina!

    I've stayed in Mendoza and Buenos Aires, but never noticed the dog poop problem, even in the park. Maybe the neighborhood? There were lots of cats! I did notice that Argentinos don't stop the party just because the sun's coming up! I thought that the people were the best part of the trip. The hugging part I kinda got used to in Chile, but a friend had to prepare me for the kissing bit, which was very nice once you got over the shock. It was NOT an air kiss! What really shocked me was that all the stores were closed on Saturday in Mendoza, because the store owners were enjoying the weekend.

      Could be. I did travel around many of the barrios and yes some had more poop on the street than others and some had none, but for me the surprise was that I never saw people actually pick up their dogs poop! Yes long parties! 😂 The people are kind!! The kissing part sure is different! Yes the business hours sure are different than bigger cities in the USA for example.
