Some of the points in this video feel normal as an Indian. Siesta is a thing is small towns here and yeah we eat dinner a bit late. Also, most people shop meat and vegetables from local stores instead of supermarkets.

The amount of free days is pretty common in Europe too if you consider the paid holidays included. No offense but it's only in the USA that PTO's not that common

I can't believe you are talking about the dollar/peso exchange rate and never mention INFLATION, local prices of everything went through the roof in the last months. Isn't that a shock for a U.S. citizen?

Nice video ❤

I'd say we are pretty good at managing the dog poop (at least in buenos aires) but I loved the inclusion of street vendors 😂

Fiy for any fellow vegans/vegetarians; I'm from Argentina, Buenos Aires. And despite the huge meat culture we have, there is an equal balance of movements against animal exploitation. I'm 26 and have been vegan for 13+ in Buenos Aires and it has never been an issue. Also you'll find a bunch of people that think similarly to you, no matter what your opinion is lol Argentina is a country of "opinólogos" aka opinologists, so we all have an opinion on sth and will for sure talk about it, we love debating

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.

We just got to Argentina and the eating times are definitely an adjustment

Was that last minute cruises to Antarctica for $1300?

The bidet is the difference between clean 🍑 and itchy 🍑 😂😅

Culture shocks day by day. YES! Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, China, Korea.... Yes, yes, YES! Are you strong? Can you make it..... YES.....If you want to.

11:30 EL CAMION CHATARRERO CON EL PARLANTE CHOTO MAS ARGENTINO IMPOSIBLE

Che la gente que conozca es puntual....

Get to Mendoza a montar a caballo! Or, Bariloche para esquiar! Yeah, I'm a country girl, but my online communiques (farms, hunting dogs and warm bloods) tell me there's a whole lot out there and it's not so different from out Midwest farms (wine there is darned good, too)

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 ?

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). PS: Bidet should be a standard to separete between civilization and barbarians 🤣

Now i am here in Salta, i must say i have never met more friendlier and helpful people anywhere in the world and i have been to over 60 countries, they remind me how Aussies used to be 40 years ago. But that changed a long time ago, Im an Aussie.

We have a dinner at about 9pm or 10pm ...but we eat ice crem at any time in everyplace every days of the year

And we have another thing very importan adding "mate"...we call us each others to have a meeting to drink a coffee...and we can stay talking for long time seetting in a coffee shop ...we don' t drink coffee while we are walking on the street, we have a meeting.

And here there is something service strange that I am sure you don' t have.. a man who is driving a bycicle shouting to repair knifes, yes to cut better...for a few money, you can have your knifes like a news to cut !!!

We are like an european city in southamerica...we have a lot options to go to the Theatres !!!! ...the last hour to enter in someone of them is about 1 am ....even that, you can go to have your dinner after the Theatre too !!! ...we love the night

In Buenos Aires city (is the downtown), we have more than 340 bus lines to travel all day and nights !!! And 6 subways lines!! ...lot of trains too (to go to the north, west or south) ...at the east we have Río de La Plata.

You forget our "kioskos" ...a shop wich is open 24h were you can buy sweets things and sodas, ice crem (we are the best in ice creams !!)....and in Buenos Aires, we have some big supermarkets open 24 hours too !!! We love the night !!!

Clickbait, 1 year living in Capital federal or porteñolandia

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?

Rio Plantense is using Ch sound not Y sound

I visited Argentina for 2 and 1/2 weeks and studied at a language university. The people were amazing! Very very friendly warm and giving. My daughters go to Argentina every summer for 3 to 5 weeks for the same immersion program at the language University. The American dollar is extremely strong and it's impossible not to have a good time! Restaurants everywhere just wonderful architecture and wonderful people.

Is that wooder I hear? 👍 🤣

6:04 is really just CABA and Rosario, the rest of cities (like mine) are more rural and indigenous related

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.

For you to stay there for one entire year did you need a special visa or is it like Brasil where they have no control over who is there?

Jajajaja come on, argentina is a sh1t hole

Bienvenidos a tu segundo hogar!! Argentina es un país poblado lleno de inmigrantes como EEUU. Soy salteño, desayuno a las 9 a 10 am, almuerzo de 13 a 14 pm, luego la siesta de 15 a 16 merienda a las 18 a 19 pm, cena 22 a 23 pm.. queda tiempo antes de ir a dormir a las 1 am jajaja, tampoco nos gusta ir con el estómago lleno a la cama. Acá se vive a ritmo pausado y logras conectar con la naturaleza, la ciudad de Salta es de mediana población en comparación con BA pero suficiente para vivir en armonía, agradezco a mis bisabuelos a ver elegido esta hermosa ciudad, llena de costumbres, tradiciones gauchas, tomo mate , vino blanco torrontes, también Malbec 🍷 de Cafayate al sur de la provincia. Argentina es un país pacífico de muy diversos de paisajes y climas. Saludos !

Woow love your suggestions, I'm planning also to go with my family :) Could you please share me, how you book the car? directly or online booking? and what is the requirement? Thx

We have merienda because we sleep from 12 am to 6 am, we need to recharge those lost hours of sleep, so we have this middle-day nap called "siesta" (literal translation of "nap") from 2 pm to 5 pm, but the times depends on the type of person, some people nap much less than that, and some people nap much more (and some people just don't nap at all). When we wake up from a siesta we're kinda hungry, so that's when we have the beautiful merienda at 5-6 pm, and then dinner at 9-10 pm. Edit: And our job schedules are usually divided in two. First half is from 8 am to 1 pm, and second half is from 5 pm to 9 pm. In the middle of the work shifts, during the "siesta" time, all of the stores are closed.

Siesta? Where in Argentina have you stayed? I live in Buenos Aires, and nobody here takes a nap in the middle of the day, because we all work from 9 to 18. There's one hour in the middle of the day, but it's for having lunch.

11:31 jajaja, We are used to say thats its always the same guy, in the same truck, and probably you can find him on the moon.

The kissing on both cheeks for men was a real culture shock. Luckily as a yankee I was not expected to follow it thank God 😂

You had me at asado 😍

Hola. No sé ingles por lo que espero que entienda mi español… Estaba mirando su video, traductor automático mediante, y me pareció entender que cada 90 días, aproximadamente, sale de Argentina y regresa para poder renovar la residencia ¿es correcto lo que interprete? Suponiendo que sí, me parece que se esta equivocando en ello.. Después de los 90 días puede solicitar una“residencia transitoria” adicional de hasta un año, sin necesidad de salir del país. E, incluso, si cumple los requisitos, puede solicitar la “residencia temporaria” por hasta tres años, la cual tiene el beneficio adicional de proporcionarle el “DNI extranjeros”. Cualquiera sea la modalidad, después de tres años queda habilitado para la “residencia permanente”, la cual es de por vida. El tema, la cuenta regresa a cero cada vez que sale del país, así que su práctica de salir cada 90 días sería contraría a su interés. Saludos desde Neuquén, Argentina.

Que les sucede en estados unidos que no usan bidet? Acaso no les gusta la higiene personal?

A very helfpul and interesting video!! One of the most beautifuls places, without doubt!! Welcome💙💙🤍🤍

Biggest shock was how little people work in Argentina.

Yendo is like im going “to your place “, but some people use that word in tricky way .. they still finishing other things to do before 😂😂

OMG, too many feriados and too many asados. What should I do?! I'm shocked! This is why Americans should stay home; you get culture shocked too easily.

The kiss greeting between men is also not customary throughout the country, in some places it is only reserved for loved ones. Like to your video, best regards!

Argentina is not just Buenos Aires, it has a very extensive territory and the accents vary in the different regions, so from the beginning of the video it is obvious that you have a wrong concept on this topic.

Woooow now they are leveled up to "loud street vendors" hahaha. But they are kinda unique to describe them with just three words. Old pick up truck and speakers are mandatory.

13:00. "yendo" es verdad... se usa un poco para disculpar la impuntualidad
