I love how she loves how cheap Argentina is... If only you now that's an issue here
know
How so?
@@jonnywilliams9867 here we have an important economic crisis for more than a decade. Every year gets a little worse. For us it's getting more harder to live here but for the rest of the world it's cheaper
Is it as bad as Americas right now?
@@jonnywilliams9867 not every country. uruguay for example doesnt have isues like that one
To know if someone is in the toilet we knock on the door and if they say "ocupado" then we don't come in
Claaro
ConnieP “OcUpaO”
Si sos hombre lo decis con voz grave jajaja “ocupado”
hahahaha the best comment i've read boludo
Estaba pensando lo mismo mientras veia el video xd
I'm from Argentina and it's the first time I've realized the corners thing
se llaman "ochavas" y estan en todos lados xd
They're called "ochavas" (because they make blocks have "ocho" sides).
They are also useful to drivers and pedestrians, to see if someone is approaching by the other street
@@mateofolgueiro8899 Man, alto mindblow con lo del porque se llaman ochavas. Gracias.
Mateo Folgueiro porque le contestaba en ingles
@@thomasdixon8874 Flasheé que era yanki
Lmao. If you’re sick or if you have symptoms of sickness as an Argentine, we always say no to the mate to avoid diseases being spread. But yeah, you’re right that it is quite unsafe for pandemics 😂
Las enfermedades las tenemos incubando durante un tiempo hasta que comienzan a haber síntomas. De hecho, es en ese tiempo donde somos más propensos a contagiar a las personas. Viéndolo desde afuera, si es muy poco higienico; pero bueno, es nuestra cultura. Por ejemplo, los sirios adoptaron el mate de nosotros y ellos en su país tienen un mate individual para cada persona. Es extraño pensar en esa situación, no?
th diseases cant be transmitted by the mate.
@@german2122 ¿Cómo no se va a poder transmitir por el mate? ¿Sos boludo?
Hey, as an argentinian women i can say to you be careful with that staring contest lol but really, it can be dangerous if you do it with the wrong people
MWMWM yeah, maybe they think you’re flirting or something and it can turns weird/dangerous
Igual eso es en cualquier país
From a porteño:
Well actually we kiss everybody in the cheek, not just doctors do lol. It can be strange at first for foreigners but it’s just our way to great each other.
The corner thing it’s not (or at least not as I know) related to robberies but to see the car or carriage coming from the other street in order to avoid collisions. This building rule was stablished so much time ago that there is little to no buildings without this caracteristic thing we call “ochava”.
The lock thing it’s very weird bathrooms should have a lock... but in many restaurants they simply don’t. It’s weird... but also they might not have toilet paper or soap.
Anyways, I’m always happy to see that foreigners enjoy my city, I hope that you will have a great experience!
Jero_ Oha no sos especial por ser porteño boludo. Todo el mundo en argentina saluda de la misma manera. Piojoso te excitas cuando ves a alguien del primer mundo? De pedo q llegas a fin de mes y vivis en un caos. Bájate de tu mundo de fantasías
Mati_ G gracias, yo también te amo
@ q le pasaba jaja
@ Qué le pasa a este socialistoide?
Germán González no entendiste nada eh?
9:03 We usually knock on the door and wait for someone to say " ocupado " if that doesn't happened we just open the door but I think we all have been in 1 or 2 awkward situation because someone was inside
Actually corners are designed that way for cars and traffic in those corners where there is no traffic light. When you get close to a corner, you can see more easily if there is another car getting close from the perpendicular street.
Y P and that’s only in the center of Buenos Aires (C.A.B.A) not everywhere ❤️
@@DragRaceOpulence na, en el interior tambien son asi
"the city is super cheap"
and that's on devaluation of Argentinian money
I really struggled with that mate cup lol
Let's hang out in Palermo ! wanna improve my english lmao
Mate it's not for everybody for his flavour BUT i always hope that everyone likes it!
OMG YOU ARE HERE IN BUENOS AIRES!!! Hey whenever you want we can meet and talk and go to a vegan restaurant 💕 And yes the bus is cheap for Europeans but for us is expensive af haha
Hahah it’s all relative I guess 😂 Hit me up on Instagram and let’s meet!!❤️
@@Dinaraxyz I dm you a few days ago!
@tincho muy de tincho ese comentario
@tincho no es cuestión de comparar con los demás países sino con el poder adquisitivo de las personas, para quienes no pertenecemos a clases acomodadas el costo del transporte público no es un chiste. Se llama conciencia de clase
Las cosas en argentina no son caras nuestros sueldos son una mierda, el otro día me pareció escuchar en un noticiero que el salario promedio eran $27000 que son poco mas de 400 dolares
'if there is ever a pandemic..'
*coronavirus entered the chat*
We have to get rid of kisses when saying hello, that'a not gonna fly anymore...

Funny enough, it actually just entered for real.

6:32 The building corners are called "ochavas" and are made to have better visualization of cars coming from the perpendicular streets.
its funny because she says things that are normal to me that I live in the city, but i love this kind of videos because makes me realise nice things about here that I dont really pay attention
pd: loved it, welcome and have a nice stay :)
Hey! I'm so glad you're loving Buenos Aires! Here are some places you should check out because they'll make you fall in love with the city!
1) El Ateneo Grand Splendid library (I spend most of the time there lol)
2) Caminito, La Boca
3) Recoleta's cementery
4) El Rosedal
5) Teatro Colón
Good luck and have fun 🧡
para mi lo mejor de argentina esta en las demas provincias , las cataratas, el glaciar, bariloche etc
@@channel1334 tenes razon, pero el esta hablando específicamente de CABA bro
El Ateneo es lo más!!!!
the soy milk call ADES, is a white box with the word ades in green
I live in cordoba, argentina im from new zealand. cool video, i use to live in brazil too.
Hope you have a great time in my city and enjoy our sierras
Enjoy fernet my dude
Hay Jacob I'm thinking of living in Argentina, I'm kiwi.... is it better than nz
Yeahhh the bathroom situation is real, i live in the same aparment my mom lived with my grandparents so the building is old and locks existed on bathrooms still, but if you go to a new building or fancy places, locks doesnt exist. It's culture tho, we are more used to knock on the door to check than try to open and notice by the lock. Hope you enjoy this beautiful city, it has it flaws like any other city but once you get used to you are able to appreciate them as well
"I just think, if there's ever a pandemic, it will spread the fastest in Argentina..."
she jinks us all
9:03 we knock the door to know if someone is inside 😄
aww I love this video! I'm currently living in Costa Rica, so I definitely relate with some of what you mentioned, especially about Spanish culture. I was admitted to minerva as class 2024 and I'm so so excited. I think Argentina will remind me most of where I am rn and I can't wait ❤❤ sending love to you dinara
Hey, sorry for the question but, how did your interview go? I'm so sad and reluctant to continue my application because I think I completely screwed up mine, 😢
@@erikaalejandra1710 oh I wouldn't worry too much! I think the challenges are meant to help them understand your stengths and weeknesses. there's no expectation that you'll do well on all of them. please don't give up, just give it your best shot, and put a lot of energy into your accomplishments :)
can i ask where you from?
Everything was so spot on, the good and the bad 😅. I'm glad you are enjoying your visit and I hope you can see other parts of the country, like Patagonia or the wine country.
Welcome to Argentina! So happy that you like it. Enjoy it♥️
I heard that about the corners on buildings too, another reason is because for drivers is easier to anticipate if coming another car in a intersection when there is no trafficlight.
I live in Buenos Aires and it makes me so happy to know that you are having a great time here 😊
A doctor also kissed me recently in Buenos Aires and I was completely shocked. You totally get the accent right by the way.
Its a normal thing for us, to kiss on the cheek instead of shaking hands.
I thought it was normal to greet with a kiss on the cheek
She doesnt get the accent much right, but it makes us all happy to see foreingers try it!
We all do that, it’s our way to greet people
I've been studying all day writing about literature. Greatfull, but exhausted. Gonna finish my work and relax watching your video. You actually just made my day by simply posting it, excited to watch.
Aww sending love!!!❤️
Argentina it's huge! You have to travel all over it! There're so many accents and traditions. Like in Córdoba there's a lot of party and the accent it's really funny
it makes me so happy to see you happy :)
Welcome to Buenos Aires City !!! nice video Dinara!!!
"If there is ever a pandemic" ICANNOT😂😂😂
i live in argentina and its so nice to hear people who come here say this kind of things. sometimes it becomes so usual that you forget its not like that everywhere, its cute thinking about it
Hey! So glad to have you in our country!!♥️ The best tip I can give you is to not overthink or to take yourself/ people seriously . We love to have fun and do jokes. So really just relax and don’t take thing seriously(I know it sounds dumb but if you really do it you will enjoy everything more)♥️❤️
Awwww
I’m glad you are enjoying the city!
hahahah this is so cute and funny!! I love listening to foreign people talking about BA
Came here to say that I'm so excited for tomorrow's video
The “rounded” corners is a visibility thing for safer circulation. When you are driving, you can see beforehand if there’s another car coming from the other way.
I am from Buenos Aires and I am so happy you like it!! It is really pretty :)
You make me feel like I’m falling in love with life again. Thank you. 💞
Omg its so cute to see foreigners getting to know our beautiful country 🇦🇷❤️ I hope u have the best time here!
I'm glad you're having a fun time in argentina
we normally knock on the toilet/bathroom door to know if it's occupied. also, the door tends to be a little open at least if there's no one inside
Cute, I miss Buenos Aires and Argentina so much!
All buildings doesn't have any corner for driving facilities, to see the vehicles that are at your sides
4:37 This is so true, At my work, I never share my mate, it´s just for me. In the public bathrooms we use the "knock-knock" system if someone says "occupied" you can not use it.
Welcome! 🎉 ❤️
haha the “non-corners” is not intended for robberies, they are called “ochavas” and are intended to see the traffic coming from the sides to avoid car crashes on intersections, in the past it was less common to have traffic lights in every corner
Can't wait to watch new videos from you every week!😍😍 But please don't pressure yourself if you can't manage it some weeks! I wish you one amazing semester in BA!!
Thank you ❤️❤️I really hope I'm able to do it! 😍 Have a wonderful time wherever you are too :)
You so cute when talk about Argentina, have a nice trip here 🦋🖤
First, OH MY GOD FINALLY YES! sending so much love to you Dinara! I've been feeling so depressed and trapped lately because of university applications and my family's financial situation. Had three essays to get done over the weekend, needless to say, did none of them. But you just make me put life into perspective by just, existing? Lol, literally you remind me how everything flows and I'll get where I need to be because the universe always works in our favor and there are no bad choices, just choices❤ oh also, the catcalling culture is sadly such a thing. I'm from Paraguay, in Ciudad del Este, which is right next to Brazil and Argentina at the triple border and oh god, it's awful. Men here openly stare, do all sorts of disgusting, deshumanazing facial expressions and even gestures, which is not only downright gross but also so, so, so humilliating. Even though I know I have nothing to be ashamed of. Also, the calling part is quite strong, they go from «love, babe» to again the most vomiting stuff. I refuse to look down when I walk, which is what sadly most girls and women instinctively do here. I tell myself I will walk as tall and straight as I can, with my chin so up my crown (had I had one) would fall. Then, if they stare, I stare back and shot them death stares. The thing is, some of them even find it arousing or challenging, it's just, awful. I'd figure Bs As would be slightly better, since it's the capital. I still remember your video where you said that in Seoul people just show so much respect, which manifested in 0 catcalling when you were there. It really inspired hope in me, but sadly South America and Paraguay are light years away from achieving that. I don't consider this place my home, but my birthplace is one of the most sexists, machistas countries you could think of. And it's worse because it is so deeply engrained in everything, that's when it's the most dangerous, insisidious and subtle. I think I'm going too far off track now, but I guess I'm trying to say that I'm sorry and that you're strong and emmanate such dignity, keep fighting back❤
P.s are you guys considering coming to the Iguazu Falls? If you are, I would be delighted to host you and show you guys around!❤
Humanity in 2020. How sad. Stay strong and best whishes for your applications! :)
Oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH for such a deep and detailed comment and the explanation about the culture!! You're the reason why I do this!🙏🏻 Good luck on your applications (YOU CAN DO IT) and I hope things get better.❤️ I love the crown idea - it's so inspiring of you. You're so right about keeping your chin up and being above the situation. Could you message me on instagram so we stay connected?
@@Dinaraxyz of course yes yes yes! I'm @eriduarte1710, I'll dm you!
Hey I live in buenos Aries argentina 🇦🇷 and i can’t believe your here! Hope I see youu
omg you're so cute ♡ I hope you're liking our country so far
Omg I hope oatly gets here soon too
the corners thing is to see the cars in the other street
Hi Dinara and welcome! I hope you have a great time here in Argentina.
Yes, we kiss on the cheek to everyone, even if we go somewhere and there's people we don't know.
Public transportation is definetely cheap by tourists pov, my friend from Germany was surprised when she even found out that we have a "free" train in my city. For locals, sometimes paying 4 rides a day at 21,50 each trip (in my city) is really expensive considering most of them barely make 10.000 pesos a month.
The "sh" sound when speaking is mostly from the city of Buenos Aires, in other places we say "me llamo" instead of "sho me shamo". There is also a problem with double r's in several places of the country, they say "pero" instead of "perro" (dog).
Buenos Aires is great, so many free activities and a lot of cultural things to learn, I really enjoyed my time there.
Try a lot of ice creams if you like it, there's also vegan options and deliveries at night.
the soft corners allow driver to see other vehicles that aproach on the other street
Glad you like it here :)
-Almond milk in cafes are a new thing here, until last year Starbucks only had SOY milk.. and most didn't even have vegan milk
-Corners are like this because of old timey architecture , not robberies 😅
I love it!!
thank you bb!!
When you go out you will notice that most bathroom doors are broken lol and there won’t be paper or soap, so I recommend bringing your own in your purse when you go out. Most people leave the bathroom door open so you don’t have to ask if it’s ‘ocupado’ so get into the bathrooms that are open, or you can knock and they’ll answer ‘ocupado’
I'm glad you like it here. I am from La Plata a city that is 50 minutes by car from the city of Buenos Aires.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Argentina is huge and has a lot of diversity in landscapes and customs. If you can travel the country a bit, you will not regret it. :)
I live in Buenos Aires! If you ever need anything or just want to hang out with someone I’m here🤗 great video
About the dancing thing, buenos aires has a lot of different ambients to dance, you can dance reaggeton and cumbia (what a lot of us call "cachengue" ) and, actually, theres a pretty wide scene of techno, i think we have one of the most important clubs in the whole latin america scene ! its pretty big here. (these are the most common rythms of the night in buenos aires today by today, off course there are a whole lot of things appart from that, tango, and a long etc but its more of popular music of the country, i mean, young people its not going to dance to that a saturday night, we have a big trap scene too, and hip hop in general).
definitely we have the strongest techno scene on this side of the world. We are not only called best crowd of the world at rock concerts, but techno party's here are whole another level compared to Europe or Spain (always comparing to mainstream scene).
@@nicolasvazquez9748 I`ve been in techno clubs in london, barcelona, madrid, amsterdam and berlin, and definetly the best crowd of a techno party its here
@Narkosmo bruh aca en capital le decimos cachengue a los boliches normales digamos de cumbia regeton etc etc
you're so sweet 🥺🥺 i'm glad you're enjoying buenos aires! btw I wanted to say please be careful during night, being a woman here (and any part of south america) can be really dangerous so always send your location to your friends and pay attention to your surroundings, don't use your phone while walking on the street at night and don't leave your stuff unattended
it's cheap for a foreigner, it's expensive for people living here. we normally knock before walking into a bathrool stall, usually, most people anyway. open corners are awesome.
Hi！Dinara. I have been watching your video for a long time and I love it so much especially when you share your life and opinions. Actually, I happened to find your vlog when I was searching for Minerva one year ago. I am very interested in Minerva and your school life. So I kept watching it and then became your fan. Your vlog is really nice and positive, and also helps us know more about this marvelous school. So I am writing to ask you if I can translate your vlog into Chinese and upload into “bilibili “ a video sharing app like TH-cam. Because I believe your vlog can help chinese students learn about Minerva and also let them see a broaden world like what is another way of education. I think it’s meaningful. Looking forward to hearing from you
Welcome to Buenos Aires!
Public transport may be extremely cheap to you, but trust me, it's pretty expensive for us Argentinians (the minimum wage is of about 250 US dollars)
No diría que es caro, diría que está bien. Antes si que era muy barato.
@@blustgt8814 Corregime si te entendí mal, pero básicamente estás diciendo que no te gustaba que antes sea muy barato, y que ahora que subió el precio está bien?
@@lasmalvinassonargentinas8661 No bro, obviamente me gustaba que era barato, a quien no? Sin embargo 6 pesos no existe en ningún lugar del mundo, era una locura. Yo pago 20 y sinceramente creo que es razonable, sigue siendo barato en comparación con otros lugares del mundo. En Europa es mucho más caro en general y en Estados Unidos también. Diría que es un buen precio y no necesariamente caro, por supuesto que entiendo que hay gente que no puede pagarlo.
@@blustgt8814 A mí no me parecía una locura pero sí, es más barato que en el primer mundo, aunque en el primer mundo los salarios son más altos y todos los precios son más altos, al menos eso es lo que sé
@@lasmalvinassonargentinas8661 En proporcion al primer mundo 6 pesos seguía siendo ridículo.
Hi to you too. And welcome to my beatiful country. Hope you're having a great time so far, even tough the summer is kicking so hard and the temperature is almost 35°C some days. But you'll get used to it, trust me. I'm so glad you choose Buenos Aires to live. It's a beatiful city and I'm really proud of the place where I live. I really enjoyed your video and I would love to teach you some spanish words if you want to. So you can express yourself better and better everytime. But you're doing really good. "Mate" it's the most important thing here. And there's not a single place where the people is not driking mate. It makes us feel united and part of a big family. We even drink mate at school (college) and it's one of our best traditions besides eating asado on weekends. So overall, let's hope you enjoy every minute of this experience. You won't regret it. I wish you the best on this new chapter of your life and I'm sending you a big hug from here. Butaway, I'm from a city called Merlo, which is on the west side of Buenos Aires. Have a nice day, bye bye. xoxo
Espero que disfrutes de Buenos Aires! Habrás notado que en realidad es muy común saludarse con un beso, inclusive entre extraños presentados por alguien conocido. Siempre recuerdo la anécdota de un amigo que viajó a USA para una competencia y quiso saludar con un beso a otra persona quien lo miró enormemente ofendido. A veces se aprende a a la fuerza!
great video!!
Yayyy im from argentina glad u like it :)
I'm from Argentina, I like your video!
welcome to my country dinara :D i saw a top country latinoamericas said argentina knows more englhis that other country, the average, so i think we know but dont really practice or talk it, but if a foreigner need help we always will try to help you. i suscribe to see how goes you here, and again welcome to Argentina!! :)
You are supposed to knock on the door of the bathroom to see if someone is in there. Xo
Welcome to Argentina!
Def go to Iguazú falls, the flights are like 20 bucks. You won’t regret! It’s one of the seven wonders
Hi! I dm-ed you on IG a few years ago about asking how to use the law of attraction to fulfil academic goals. (You probably don't remember lol)! You said you'd make a video about it. I can't seem to find that video - could you direct me to where it could be? Thanks. xx
I live in Corrientes, Argentina and we don’t pronounce the sh, we pronounce it not like io but somewhere between that two
We usually knock the door and wait to someone say “ocupado” and if no one responds we can come in, and when you leave you usually leave the door open so people know there’s no one in there
The kiss in the cheek is not used by doctors only, for example if i’m walking in the street and i see a friend of mine i would go and give her/him a kiss
I hope you enjoy the stay in Argentina!
Also you should go to other provincias there’s so much different traditions, accents, foods, habits, etc.
❤️
Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷. Volte Sempre! ☺️
ARGENTINAAAAA
I live in argentina❣️ I love this video
There is mountain in Croatia called Dinara :)
actually, bus rides are super expansive for us. they are 20 pesos, and when i was a kid they were like 25 cents (of pesos lol) for u guys everything is so cheap because 1 dollar is 82 pesos wich is A LOT for us lol
7:22 public transport IS NOT SUPER CHEAP, get an average job here and see
MrMusicopath bueno la piba habla de su propia experiencia en comparación a otros países capaz para ella lo es. Nada que ver con lo que vivimos nosotros igual
So interesting! Made me wanna go there 😊
Yay! You definitely should if you can☺️
How was the New Years party in Rio?
Another thing that seems strange to people is that between man greet giving kisses on the cheek, in some cultures it's something that would never do, and here is very normal 😂
*Buenos Aires is considered one the most beautiful city in South America. Do not forget to visit Inca Ruins , Titicaca Lake, Sacred Valley in Cusco, etc*
Welcomeeeee.
0:02 what's the name of your university (and how did u applied for the program)?? sounds so cool omg
Hi! I'm from Argentina and i live in Buenos Aires, if you want some recommendations, advice or something you can ask me! I'm here to help you, love ur channel btw 💕💕
Cool video! Only one thing that is not correct: the fact that there is no corner in buildings is due to a transit thing... not robery. If there´s no corner you can see the vehicle coming from the other street, that´s why. ¡Welcome to Buenos Aires!
That's nonsense about the corners. They are called "ochavas" and they became law in the late 1800's to facilitate people and transportation (carriages back then) to see around corners. BTW, Argentinians and Uruguayans don't speak Spanish per se, they speak "castellano".
Castillian is the language of Spanish (Spaniards) bcs in Spain we have 5 Co-Official languages (Castillian,Catalan,Galician,Euskera,Occitan) and all of them are Spanish
Es español, que tiene un acento diferente en todos lados. El español rioplatense es un acento más que además tiene su propio dialecto.
No sabía lo de las ochavas! cool fact.
It's called "Español rioplatense" tho
Do you like the bidet?
Hi, is really interesting all things that you say. I'm from Venezuela and I'm living in Buenos Aires since 7 moths ago.. I hope to meet you here 😂 I would like to practice my English, enjoy so much this country is amazing. 😊
I am from Argentina and I couldn’t belive the things that were weird to you that for me are soooo normal🤣🤣 about the bus (for us it is VERY EXPENSIVE because of the dolar prise) and about the bathroom we generally knock and ask if theres somebody
Yeah, we pronunce the "LL" and the "Y" as a "SH". So, for example, you might say "maravilloso" (marvelous, wonderful) but we would pronunce it "maravishoso". Or "lluvia", we would pronunce it like "shuvia". And we also have different ways of saying some words. Like "tú" (you), we would say "vos". But unlike Spain Spanish, we wouldn't say "vosotros" (you, but in plural), we say "ustedes". It's kind of interesting to hear different ways of saying the same words in other countries who (or that, idk what it goes) speak the same language :D.
Sos hermosa Dinara ❤️❤️
Corners are like that in some places ,not all of Buenos Aires. Mainly Recoleta or Palermo.
There are ochavas EVERYWHERE.
