- Argentina has a rich culture full of many things that you might find to be "CULTURE SHOCKS" when visiting or settling in Argentina as an expat or digital nomad!
Join me in today's video where I share my experience and insights into some cultural "shocks" experiences such as drinking "mate", eating dinner "very very late", experiencing protests, trying to understand Rio de Platense "Espanol", or simply understanding what is the "BLUE DOLLAR" and how this helps you "SAVE" money while exploring Argentina! I hope you learn a lot and enjoy the ride coming along with me in today's video! Cheers!

What is your favorite Argentine "culture shock"?
You are moving yours hands now!! Bienvenido a Argentina 😂😂
Haha si gracias!
@@DontWonderExploreYou are already one of us.
Gracias!
As frequent visitor to Argentina I love everything about it. No culture shocks for me. Just plain enjoyment!!!
That’s amazing! A second home “culture” perhaps? There’s a lot to enjoy!
I left Argentina 27 years ago, so I lost most of my traditions but tried to keep mate regularly, my boyfriend is Polish/German and he is obsessed with mate, He bought me so many mates and bombillas, all shapes and colors, he has a bunch of mate and yerba mate. It is hilarious to see him drinking mate, he is the palest person I know but he calls himself El Gacucho Jacinto, His name is actually Jacek. Funny thing, He drinks his mate and I drink from my mate, He missed the part of sharing mate around, mostly because he saw me drinking mate alone here in Europe, He lives in the UK so he assumed mate is an individual drink.
Hey Lauren, thanks for sharing!! I can relate to your boyfriend on being pale and drinking mate solo sometimes OR only with my girlfriend (not a large group) , lol! Yeah, it’s a unique experience for us foreigners for sure!
El mate, es un viaje de ida!!!😂😂😂
Very funny 😂
“Yendo” means that I’m still at home but I do not want to tell you that I will be an hour late
🤣🤣 thanks for this insight!
indeed, absolutely true!
Milanesas are the most popular homemade food. Probably the most in comfort food terms. Perhaps because it is something that you may have prepared in advance, it can even be eaten cold, which is delicious. Obviously each family has its own way of seasoning and accompanying them. Obviously the tastiest ones are your mom's (or the ones you ate at home).-
Thanks for adding to the convo!
I'm argie but I have US-born cousins... I remember one time my aunt was living here for a few years and we did sort of a slumber party; and me thinking "Why the hell are we eating dinner this early, the sun is still up!!!"
lol yeah it’s so different
Sometimes you can notice a friend saying "estoy yendo" like "I'm on my way" and actually he/she is at the shower 😂
This is my friend Gustavo😂😂
I’ve told him, he’ll be late to his own funeral. He told me I’m a brutal Yankee😂
There is no siesta culture in BA. There is what we call "horario cortado" (I'd translate that as "split schedule") where shops take one or two hours off in the afternoon. In the country side this would be the time for siesta, in BA it's usually used to grab some lunch. Most shops in BA are "horario corrido" though (no gaps between opening and closing times).
Also we usually buy our groceries in small shops (carnicerias, verdulerias, panaderias, casas de pasta) because they are of a far more quality than the big supermarkets rather than because they are cheaper. Although the later can be true sometimes.
Loved your video and your Che Juan mug 🤣🤣
Thanks for your “additional” insights and commenting here to share this info with everyone. Yes! the Che Juan mug, lol. Thanks!
Supermarkets usually have more expensive meat and veggies, but cheaper groceries
AND that ‘split schedule ‘ is only about 10% of all businesses
@@fscott1134 In Palermo, “centro”, Recoleta, etc is really uncommon, but in the suburbs Urquiza, Devoto, Versalles, etc, not that much
@fscott1134 Yes, thanks for sharing. @galgo_fran said it well above.
i’m here now wrapping up a month long visit to buenos aires and it never ceases to amaze me how the days feel so much longer here (in a *mostly* good way); also, it’s my seventh time here (i did a study abroad program in 2008 and try to come back when i can to visit friends) but because i don’t use castellano much on a daily basis back home it’s constantly like me explaining to strangers why i speak with a porteño accent yet sometimes grammatically sound like i have a head injury lol
Yes the days do feel longer. Lol. Seventh time there so I’d imagine things feel pretty comfortable, like a second home! lol the Spanish is different for sure!!
We are thinking we may retire in Argentina.
We are Vegan so no meat culture for us, football passion ?
….grew up in the US southeast…we know about football passion.
Dinner at 10 or 11 at night…We are asleep.
Plenty of cool stuff there for us and we can pick big city, little town, cold or hot weather, mountains or ocean….
We hope to visit in the next year or two.
We have lived in 3 Central American countries but we will head south soon.
That sounds great! If you jump into some Facebook groups you can see there are many foreigners who have decided to call AR home long term or for retirement! You can definitely eat vegan in BA as there are options to shop! Football passion there is Soccer, but I’m assuming you know that and are referring to the MLS in the south-East “Messi mania” with inter-Miami as of lately…and soccer you might be exposed to living in Central America at the moment! Yes, it’s a big country spanning a diverse set of landscapes so you really do have options of small, medium towns/cities or big! All the best, and enjoy your upcoming visit!! Happy to answer whatever questions I can for you in the mean time! Cheers!
Ive lived here for a year as well. It’s the most beautiful city i’ve ever been to. People are very friendly and it’s exceptionally safe. The amount of public parks and beautiful buildings will blow your mind. There are lots of Vegan and vegetarian restaurants and grocers.
@VV-ku6bk amazing to hear you’re loving the experience! Yes, I was surprised about the amount of vegan & vegetarian options as well.
El vendedor en la camioneta que pasa gritando es común en toda LATAM y tambien en Italia y Grecia segun muchas personas y videos . Es molesto a veces si, pero siento que lo extrañaria si me fuera a vivir a otro pais completamente diferente.
Muy molesto , una desgracia !
Si entendés lo que significa el emoji de "montoncito" en WhatsApp ya sos un italo-argentino más.
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.
Luved your video....I look forward to my trip this summer to BA...every point you mentioned is no biggie for me, totally doable....I lived in Mexico city for 20 years, and the old school Mexicans, like my grandmother, have many of the Argentinians, customs like the "meriendas, eating late dinners, taking the siesta, just living life at slower pace, I totally welcome that. So refreshing...Hopefully things get better for the argentines, with their new president.
Thank you! And yes it sounds like for you the culture shocks won’t really be shocks at all, lol. I agree! 🤞 things start to turn around sooner than later for everyone!
¿¿¿Siesta??? have not slept ... or seen anyone sleep "siesta" in BA in the last 50 years! Maybe in some sleepy towns in the interior or north (where temp. makes it kinda mandatory) ........
En ciudades grandes del interior se corta a la siesta, no es necesario que sean un pueblito (Mendoza por ejemplo), todo el año sin importar la temperatura.
Se corta el horario para almorzar y descansar, quizás algunos duerman, pero eso de "siesta" es por la hora en que se corta, que antes sería así pero ahora sólo es de nombre y nada más.
En Hurlingham dormimos siesta. a media hora de CABA, nomás ;)
@@patijones1979 My parents slept siesta in NY (says more about my parents habits than NY, right? They also ate dinner at 6 PM sharp in DC and there was no wine to be seen in any licor stores .......
@@mag00xyz Yes, I understand, but what I meant is that, less than 1 hour from CABA, shops close at 1PM and open back a 4PM.
In San Martín, or Caseros, only big chains and banks are open in siesta hours. Even in places like Villa Urquiza, in the city, 2 blocks away from subte De los Incas, places close for siesta. You don't need to go to the interior or to other provinces to find people that sleep siesta.
13:00. "yendo" es verdad... se usa un poco para disculpar la impuntualidad
Awesome video! It is very true. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you & thanks for watching!
All of these are so normal to us that i'd say you can adapt to any culture shock you mentioned haha i cannot fathom the fact that in america y'all eat at 6 pm like there's half of the day left!
100% one can adapt to any of them with some time! The bigger question is for anyone watching “would they adapt and enjoy these cultural shocks” or would they adapt but still prefer what they were used to like eating at 6pm lol. It’s all subjective, and what makes different cultures interesting!!
If I eat past 7:00 P.M I don't sleep well.
@@o2bkjohn I mean if you're not used to it i guess but let's say i lunch at 1pm "merienda" around at 7 pm and dinner at 11 pm
@piixiie1337 I've been to Spain once and Argetina twice. I normally have a light breakfast, lunch around 12-1 and dinner around 6-7 pm. I personally dont like going to bed feeling full. I loved both countries and will go back. It's their culture which is great. I've did volunteer work in Paraguay and Boliva years ago as well as Mexico. And I still speak Spanish. It took a little while to get my ear back in tune for Argentina's dialect. I watch some YT videos which helped. I play instruments by ear so it helps with different Spanish dialects.
You can't beat the Malbec!
I’ve had this same convo with locals and I believe it’s a personal choice. Like in the states even if I lunch at 1pm, snack “our version of merienda” at 4pm I’m personally still eating dinner between 6-8pm because any later is too late! “The cultural difference.” Lol.
This is extremely insightful and accurate. Thank you for sharing!!!
Hello! Happy to help. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!!
La cultura de la siesta, es muy arraigada en el interior del país, no así en las grandes ciudades, donde en general, los comercios no cierran, y los trabajos no tienen ese espacio de tiempo para el descanso, de todos modos, en las grandes ciudades, tenemos la misma costumbre de cenar tarde, xq en gral. llegamos tarde de trabajar muchos, además, la merienda es importante acá, precisamente xq cenamos tarde, sinó, llegaríamos a la hora de la cena con demasiado apetito…
Well done Lovely clear concise video .😊
Thank you! Hope you got some value out of the insights! Cheers.
Soy porteño no me gusta el mate, me acuesto y duermo a las 8 pm ,me levanto tipo 5 o 6 de la mañana ,no todo es nocturno en la capitàl hay de todo...
Hola 👋! estoy de acuerdo! ☝️ some peoples do not follow the “cultural” stereotypes & do things differently!! 💯💯
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!
Thanks. Yes, this is just what I experienced so thanks for adding your information as well. Cheers!
yendoooo
🤣🤣
Btw, it's ok if you don't want to share the same mate with a ton of peoples saliva. I'm Argentine and I've been drinking mate for my entire live, probably drink 2lt of mate every day. I never share my mate tho, I have my own mate and I drink it alone or with friends and family, but I use my own mate. I managed to survive, not a problem haha.
Good to know! Thanks. 🧉
We call these people "ortivas".
(j/k, you do you)
@@gorsh7870 I'm the most ortiva person you can find, keep your saliva away from my bombilla =P
@@gorsh7870 está bien, cada uno decide, yo después de la pandemia dejé de compartir el mate, ya agarré la costumbre de tomar solo y hasta es mas cómodo
I'm from Argentina and I don't like many of those things, it bothers me that they say at an hour and they arrive 30 minutes later, although where I live in Córdoba they are being more punctual than years ago, I don't wait more than 10 minutes, another thing is people who throw garbage in the street and that public attention will only be in the morning from Monday to Friday
Yeah there are definitely things from all of our cultures than can be a pain depending on our perspectives, thanks for sharing!
The pizza, milanesas , choripan, mate, alfajores mmmm, pastas, las picadas (jamon, quedo, mortadela , salame) , etc. Friend , WE HAVE IT ALL.
Yea you do!! 🤣 🧉
So funny! I remember all these things when I lived there.
Yessir! A lot to experience!
I’ve only been to Argentina once for a short business visit, so did not experience too much of the shocks described in this video. Some I did, such as: Going out for dinner at 11:00 pm. Pronouncing Y and LL as Sh…Street noise. ‘Voseo” (using “vos”instead of “tu”) is quite confusing. Some shocks, such as asado, were actually quite nice.
Yes some that are great & others that might take some adjusting to!!
I have been living in Buenos Aires for a year as well, from Chicago, and disagree with at least half of the information here. For example, I have never tasted a mate. It is mostly a ‘young person’ thing and while ubiquitous, not an essential part of the culture. Coffee is the delicious and essential part of the culture and never even mentioned in this vid! "Cortado", "cafe con leche", "flat white" and starbucks are everywhere, two on a block! If you don’t drink coffee, you will have trouble here. Also, I mostly buy all my groceries and wine, in the largest supermarket I can find, their prices and sales are more advantageous. Also, they all deliver! I have not been to a football game and have never been inconvenienced by one. No one mentions football to me. Yes, there are more holidays but the streets are deserted for all of them, soooo quiet! Overall I am happier here than I was in chicago. As Doug Casey said; "the cheapest civilized place on the planet". He shows the bus (collectivo) but taxis are as plentiful as NYC and very cheap! $3 or so for a ride across town! This vid is only one narrow perspective, I live in Recoleta/Retiro not Palermo (hippyville) and live a very different life compared to what is shown here. You can find/make whatever life you like here.
Hey, well welcome to the conversation, and thank you for sharing your perspective of life in BA, Argentina for the community here! I think one’s experience depends on a lot of factors such as if you live with locals or keep to the foreigners community. I’ve lived in many countries around the world where I’ve stuck to my own bubble and didn’t experience the local culture as deeply, if I didn’t have local connections!
Regarding the mate 🧉 experience it might depend if you live with locals or not. Do you? My girlfriend’s family members are much older than me and have mate most mornings so it seems pretty ingrained in their cultural norms and daily routine. Likewise, I saw people of all ages in the parks enjoying 🧉! “You should try it if you’re open to it!
Coffee is important to their culture, but it is also quite normal in many cultures around the world. This video was about “culture shocks” so I felt it wasn’t a necessary mention. I did personally enjoy a good amount of Cafe Martinez while I was there!
Grocery Pricing, yes, it seems you can do better at times at the Coto, Dia, or Carrefeur so my experience might have been a little different; I will add that quality is better locally and many times they gave me free fruits and veggies that were ready to eat that day when they needed to offload them!
Overall, this video was simply my experience to share as best that I could within a reasonable duration TH-cam video so again thanks for watching and I appreciate you sharing your experience as well! Cheers!
No offense dude, but maybe you weren't in Argentina at all...an entire year and no one invited you mate or talked about futbol? it's almost impossible...
That or you've been hanging with the most cold, untraditional people of the country, and knowing you've been on Buenos Aires, you bought everything from supermarkets and paid special attention to starbucks, they may be what we call "chetos" or "porteños". Those are the ones the rest of Argentina despites, including the same people of Bs As that doesn't live in the central zone, cause they desesperately try to act like yankees or europeans all the time, completelly ignoring their roots.
I was born in Argentina and lived here my entire 25 years, and by my experience working and talking with foreing people from USA, Europe, Asia and even other countries from South Amerca, i can 100% agree with this video.
I can agree with coffee being a popular drink in Argentina, but never, NEVER more than mate.
Also, no, you never buy all your groceries on supermarkets, especially fruits, veggies and meat, they are WAY more expensive unless they have good promos, if you've been doing that you lost a lot of money. Small and/or specialized shops usually have better prices and quality.
Until about 5 years ago, people bought in supermarkets for the entire month and what was missing they bought in a neighborhood business, then with high inflation the price reference was lost and it became difficult to compare so we bought anywhere, something Also common is wholesale supermarkets, which are cheaper but they sell you entire packages, for example 10 packages of sugar, packages of 20 rolls of toilet paper, etc.
@@naimlf El mate x doquier en la ciudad es una moda de estos ultimos anios ....
@@albertocullen7944 que a vos te parezca una moda no lo quita le tradicional, yo tomo mate con toda mi familia y amigos desde que tengo memoria, dulce o amargo, normal o savorizado, con yuyo o con naranja. Lo tomé en buenos aire, en tucuman, en santa fe y santa cruz. Como va a ser una moda algo que lleva vigente tantos años?
I live in Miami and I have bidet when we bought our house it was included and we love it
Agreed it’s a game changer!
Good video mate, Does anyone know of areas for panning for gold or prospecting as a hobby in the country side? I will be there in a couple of weeks.
Neuquén province, Andacollo town surroundings
Really cool video! I'm curious, why do you use the term expat instead of immigrant?
Thank you! just a choice of words in this particular context, but I’d say one could use either term. Cheers!
Not to bring you to the fire or anything, but I've read some compelling arguments to say "expat" is kinda racist, in the sense that its used, maybe without being fully aware, to avoid being lumped with the "other" kinds of immigrants. Food for thought.
Would have been cool to make the 'bidet thing' number two.
Hahaha why is that?
@@DontWonderExplore In Argentina (and I believe, this is common for a lot of other places too), we call pee "number one" and poo "number two" when you don't wan't to be too explicit. So talking about bidets and making in the "number two" biggest cultural shock would have been a nice pun.
Hahaha. I didn’t think of that right away when this was said, lol. Thanks for the explanation!
It's a good video but in my opinion, in this type of videos people (argentinians in this case, me as an argentinian) is more curious about what you think about all this items, and some anecdote maybe, instead of just listing them. I think this kind of videos tend to be more popular to an argentinian audience that wants to know what do you think about us, rather than for a foreing audience (althought I imagine it would represent a great portion of the audience too).
Thanks for your thoughts and providing your insight! Yes , as you can tell, this was produced with the idea that other foreigners moving to Argentina might be interested in learning before they arrived! I myself have been surprised by the engagement in this video by argentines! I will keep your perspective in mind for future videos that I create about my time in Argentina! More to come! 🎥 cheers!!
This was a cool video with correct info except the siesta part. There is no siesta culture in Buenos Aires. Its mostly in the north of the country.
Thank you so much! Yeah thank you for your correction! To me it seemed like there was a sort of siesta culture in the fact that the local cheese shop, meat shop, verdulería, and bakery were always closed for about 1-2 hours mid day. Maybe it was only to observe lunch time?
That "culture" Is mostly characteristic of the smaller shops, which tipically are managed by families; being so since the early years of XX century, when the mass european immigration arrived (mostly italian anda spanish but from all around too); they started their own bussinesses and shops, initially with zero employees, so they had to stop for dinner and doing family tasks; tjat's why this costume remained, until now, even if they actually have employees.
Noooo!!!!, Cómo la milanesa es un pedazo de pollo y listo??!!!, Primero que las milanesas más populares, son las de carne de vaca y luego siguen las de pollo, es muy diferente comer un pollo al horno o parrilla Vs. una milanesa de pollo, hay variadas formas de hacer milanesas, entre ellas, las que son a la Napolitana (con salsa de tomate o tomates naturales, jamón y queso muzzarella), que es un invento argentino y serán de lo más delicioso que probarás en tu vida…
Great video. All spot on
Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video, for me the dog poop thing makes it a hard no
You’re welcome! For perspective it’s not horrible, but rather something to be aware of.

Hi! Ñoquis ! Que rico 🍛
Yes the Ñoquis are great & the Sorrentinos too! 🍝 💯
Are there places in Argentina where people go to sleep early and wake up early? Maybe smaller cities or countryside?
Hello! I think of course yes there might be as all countries do have a variety of peoples, maybe a smaller subset, following their own desired schedules that might not be the cultural norms, but I did not experience this in my time there. I do know of some people who ate late & still got up early for work.
Hola! Una pregunta: no entiendo la preocupación por encontrar lugares dónde todos manejen un horario similar a los de EEUU
Porque en realidad depende de cada uno cómo vive y organiza su vida.
Por ejemplo, las escuelas comienzan a funcionar generalmente entre las 7:30 /8:00 am, y hay personal que ingresa más temprano. Por eso, quienes trabajan allí generalmente cenan más temprano. No digo que a las seis, pero seguramente más temprano que otras personas. Entonces, el horario en definitiva lo pone uno a su conveniencia.
Además, siempre vas a encontrar algún comercio abierto al mediodía. Creería que todos los supermercados están abiertos (hay alguno que cierre los mediodías?)
Tal vez esa preocupación tiene que ver con los horarios de actividades sociales y recreativas?
@patriciapa7379 gracias por este mensaje! Sí mi video es solomente acerca de mi experiencia en Argentina! Gracias por este información.
Im not from the Capital city and i can tell you that in most of the not Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area people starts 1hr or 2hs earlier.
@MatiasDypala thanks
Im not from Buenos Aires, im from Córdoba, and i know pretty much the entire country bc i've traveled a lot, all i can say is that is true that everyone Argentina likes milanesas, but only in AMBA (Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area) there's an obsession about it. In provinces like Córdoba, San Juan, San Luis, Tucuman, Santiago del Estero, Catamarca (mostly centric) the obsession is about meat sandwichs like Lomito. Also the "Choripan" is a lot more elaborated than the simple "Choripan porteño" wich only have chimichurri. In Córdoba we put a lot of things to the choripan even here it is most common to eat a Sandwich of milanesa rather than a regular milanesa with fries. To me the regular Milanesa is the simple kids choice to eat.
Hey Matias! Thanks for adding this info to the conversation here! Helpful! Cheers
@@DontWonderExplore Np! Great video!!
Thanks!
Naaa, en Tucumán por ej, hay una terrible obsesión por el sándwich de Milanesa!!! No te podés ir de la provincia sin probarlo. El lomito, choripán y demás pasan a Segundo plano
@@solv.4925 lo mencioné.
I think two things would drive me crazy, sharing the drink with others and people not being prompt.
Yes, as someone pointed out below you can opt out of sharing the mate, but that’s not as normal. AND “to be fair” not everyone is “late” but it seems to be common in my experience! Enjoy your time if you visit Argentina!
I love the Milanesa and dulce de leche, but not the mate.
Milanesas are good! I agree! Especially from the local carneceria!! Dulce de leche is addictive, haha. And mate can take some getting used to!
@@DontWonderExplore I never even drank coffee and I'm almost 60.
I don't understand what people do if they have dinner at 5:30 you fast until you go to bed? you're all doing intermitent fasting? cause if you don't eat until you wake up at least you fast for 12 horus...
Good point. For most I think 5:30 is the earliest … usually 6-7:30pm I’d say is the average dinner time in the USA. People have dinner earlier than in Argentina but might have dessert 🍮 a bit later. OR exactly like you said for the “health conscious” intermittent fasting! Lol
@@DontWonderExplore lol it looks like intermitent fasting, I know americans wake up earlier than us but still they probably got 12 hours of fasting
@nacho615 🤣🤣probably
your gringo accent when you say spanish words...its hilarious, no disrespect, its just funny
Haha no disrespect taken! My Argentine girlfriend says the same! I think it will be a long time before I ever, if ever, perfect it! lol 😂
Amigo yankee, me referiré a tu punto uno: si vivieras en otro país latinoamericano verías que los argentinos somos MUY puntuales comparados con los demás países de Latinoamérica.
Si entiendo! Gracias por este mensaje!
You sold me on punctuality not being a thing. Does that count for work?
lol. I don’t believe so! The people I know have a variety of job and like any country I think it really depends what industry you’re in! Maybe some of the other argentines here can add more to my comment and help you out! Lol. Cheers
NO.
Noo!!! Ni para el trabajo, la escuela ni la Universidad, etc. Solo para otro tipo de reuniones sociales o eventos , de todas formas no se generaliza porque hay una gran mayoría que nos gusta ser puntuales
Like/Don't like Is not really relevant. The question is: did you learn anything of value in your experiences? Looking backward will usually match 'Don't like' with meaningful learning. You gotta raise the bar, dude.
Thanks! Cheers.
Dollarization is a false campaign promise, which, besides, many Argentines would not want. So get used to the different exchange rates, because dollarization is never going to happen.
Thanks for the comment. To be clear I don’t believe it should happen, but was just sharing the latest news as of the time of making this video! Cheers!
we don't eat late, you guys eat early
Haha. Maybe? Perspective.
Argentina, la capital de Bolivia y Paraguay
Haha
WhatsApp is an obsession in Europe and around the world except in the USA.
Agreed! The biggest thing I felt was “maybe a little different” in my experience in Argentina was the obsession with the “voice message” part of it! Everyone walking around the streets and talking into their phones!!
Sounds very similar to other countries in Latina America like Mexico or Brazil to be honest. Let us remember that Latin America was influenced by Europe and they might've preserved the culture more than the western world.
Yes some things might be similar to those places. I also lived in Chile for some time and there were some similarities to the Argentine culture BUT also in my opinion not as many culture shocks!
@@DontWonderExplore I was saying it more from the point of view of a Mexican. I'm Mexican born in the USA and have lived in Mexico as well. Living in Argentina wouldn't be a culture shock for me. Great video though!
@@enigma5627 makes sense! Thanks
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.
Hey thanks for your comment. It’s hard to be able to go deep in each topic in such a short video, but yes I am aware of the different accents as I’ve traveled around the country. This video is also aimed at foreigners who for the most part their first interaction with Argentines will be in Buenos Aires hence that focus. Cheers!
@@DontWonderExplore I understand. However, sometimes people from other countries think that everything is like that in Argentina. I don't mean to criticize your video, it's just a comment, a personal reflection.
@metz I 100% understand. No offense taken and thanks for the comment as this helps all future peoples who watch the video gain additional perspective on Argentina!!
Bloody waste of time.
I’m sorry to hear that. Why is that?
God bless you to leave in that horrible place😂😂😂😂
I take it this is a joke by your 🤣!! BUT as you probably know it’s not horrible, just different for some!!
