elite as politicians? definitely true!they are an elite

Part of the beauty of Argentina, and Latin America overall, is that we are (unfortunately) used to living in political and economic crises, so we have learned to enjoy life with what little we have. The reasons for our crises are not what you just described; that's just political propaganda from a certain ideology that happens to be mainstream right now. The real reason is simply ignorance, negligence, and incompetence. Our entire continent has a pretty stable political alternance between left-wing, center, and right-wing parties, and they all have something in common: none of them know what they are doing. They just want to reinforce their own ideological biases. None of them even care about scientific evidence and applying policies that actually work; they are still stuck in the Cold War and only care about winning an argument against the other side. They are convinced that they are warriors in a "cultural battle" when all they are is fanatics. Hope will do nothing for us, and thinking these ideological fanatics will somehow make things better is just irrational thinking. Of course having smart, scientifically educated, decent politicians would be amazing, but that's just not in the cards for us. Nevertheless, most of us still think this is a phenomenal country and try to get the most out of our lives while we can.

Thank you for this input! And I agree about our politics :( We love good immigrants here, the ones that want to work and bring diversity. We will always welcome them, we love them ;)

Poor is only 40%

We were robbed by leftist politicians, not by the elite. And poverty is 40%. But the poverty line here is at 770 US dollars. Indigence is at 9%, a record high. These values are influenced by the exchange rate and the current government is trying to fix all the damage the Kirchners have done.

En Inglés se dice: "we're gonna get going" que no es tan diferente, asi que, que no se queje tanto.

it's like saying "let's get going"

Lots of "old" germans got to Argentina, back then...

@@cango5679 omg the obsession in the anglo world with this "unspoken truth" makes our country sound like some kind of nazi paradise built on deep german roots when the only thing they know about us is Eichmann was hiding here. They should make more Hollywood movies about U.S's elaborate government operation to recruit nazis after the war

It is time for you to stop feeling bad about your past, you are not guilty and you are actually an amazing culture besides what happened with the Nazi. And I think everyone in Argentina and the world knows this. We will always respect Germans.

Que raro ellos la verdad. Después se enojan si les decimos algo.

Son unos envidiosos

Que onda? tanto nos odian? Si nosotros a ellos ni los registramos. En TIK TOK nos destrosan. Se ve que son muy resentidos.

No entiendo de dónde sale esa bilis que tienen con los Argentinos si nosotros a lo sumo los junamos por el chavo del ocho. Acomplejadísimos.

Los porteños le dan mala fama al argentino en general.

Es impresionante eso. No de porque se termina dando porque tampoco hay tanta interacción más allá del fútbol. Son dos países que están muy lejos uno de otro geográficamente. Para mí se dan porque ambos países son igual de orgullosos, pero el Argentino es directo y el mexicano tiene como leit motiv una supuesta humildad que no es tan así, sino preguntar a los centroamericanos.

Es algo que jamás comprendí. Victor Hugo Morales comentaba, durante la final del '86, que jamás volvería a México porque los mexicanos silbaban a Maradona (que debe haber dado uno de los espectáculos futbolísticos más grandiosos de la historia). Algo inexplicable. Argentina tenía todo el estadio en contra, tanto es así que cuando hace el tercer gol, VHM grita "Argentina 3 - México 2".

I find irrational how Mexicans act, considering they are not a neighbouring country of Argentina. Both countries have pride for themselfs, Mexicans are not exactly humble, they are proud. I think Mexico envy Argentina or doesn't like how another Hispanic American contry could dispute them leadership in sports, development or including economy (even if Argentina isn't good right now, historically it has not been like that) and other things. Argentines are intense and passionate, of course neither precisely humble, but it depends if they are porteños or not. Obviously is a generalization for both societies. I would add Argentines has more a kind of "European vibe" that Mexicans can't emulate, that's one of the reasons how a significant numbers of Argentines goes there can be accepted as actors, models, businessmen, singers, etc; but Mexicans insist all are "meseros" (waiter/waitress) as if it were a disgrace.

Son en su mayoría mexicanos de clase alta los que actúan así, o a lo sumo los aspiracionales. Pero el pueblo verdadero no es ni orgulloso ni envidioso.

@@ElCondeFrancisco En Argentina sucede un poco lo mismo con los porteños de clase alta, son ellos los que nos han dado mala imagen, aunque no exclusivamente.

You should've come before, it was dirty cheap to stay here. Now it's getting more and more expensive.

Pero con Milei ahora todo mejorará económicamente. Los proximos años todo será más barato. El país mejorará. Estoy muy seguro.

I'm from Córdoba, Argentina, and I extend a warm invitation to visit my city. I'll gladly serve as your guide, showing you the best spots to eat and explore. Language won't pose a barrier, as I'm fluent in English. Best of all, this experience won't cost you a penny. In exchange, I hope to sharpen my English skills and learn from your life experiences. Maybe you have likely traveled extensively already, and encountered diverse cultures, and I'm eager to hear about them. P.S.: I recommend visiting during spring-it's the perfect time here, with temperatures neither too hot nor too cold." About Cordoba: Córdoba, nestled in the heart of Argentina, boasts a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty. From its captivating colonial architecture to the vibrant pulse of its modern city life, there's something here to enchant every traveler. As your guide, I'll lead you through the winding streets of the historic city center, where you can marvel at architectural gems like the Jesuit Block, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll wander through bustling markets, where the aroma of freshly baked empanadas mingles with the sounds of street musicians. When it comes to dining, Córdoba offers a culinary adventure like no other. From traditional Argentine asados (barbecues) to cozy cafés serving up steaming cups of mate, there's a feast for every palate. I'll introduce you to my favorite eateries, hidden gems beloved by locals and frequented by foodies in the know. But beyond the sights and flavors of Córdoba, I'm eager to connect on a deeper level. As we stroll through the city streets or share a meal together, I hope to learn from your experiences and perspectives. Like for example how was growing up in poland, or how polish people are in general, your stories hold the power to broaden my understanding of the world. So, if you're seeking an authentic Argentine experience filled with warmth, hospitality, and the joy of cultural exchange, I invite you to reach out and join me in Córdoba. Together, let's create memories that will last a lifetime.

Poland is a country I respect, a lot

You will LOVE Argentina then! Good luck on your journey!

You probably mean "extrapolate" instead of "generalize". But in any case, yes, one can generalize. It's just that: a generalization. Quite useful.

Yes

Thanks for taking part!

OMG. I didn't expect you to see you here. Nice surprise! (I'm happytobemyself)

Welcome to Argentina !!!!!

Con dólares es Disneylandia. El sueldo promedio es 300 dólares.

It doesn't go that far anymore. Everything is so expensive now. Food is the same as in Spain or more expensive and we eran in pesos, not Euros.

@@veritorossi I was just there like six months ago. Granted it was expensive than when I was there a year ago, but still. I have no frame of reference to compare to Europe, and I live in an expensive part of the US so maybe everything just seems cheap to me when I travel.

​@@SophiaDalkethe last 2 or 3 months this has changed a lot in terms of inflation and cost of living.

We are Americans too 😅

Yes. But do not get "european diversity" with Africans or middle eastern people like we have in Europe.

What about the Barbecues in Argentina. I heard they are incredible😊

@@Boobieprizewinner they are!

It's only in Buenos Aires 😂😂😂

As a 23 yo who has been a vegetarian since birth and has moved a lot thought the country it is still surprising to me how little vegetables people consume or even know of. There's this confusion as to how can you find enough meals to eat in a week that do not contain meat and very rigid traditions around the food that is served during special occasions or when going out/getting a group together. It has definitely gotten more open in regards to accommodating different diets in recent years but when you think of global cuisine we really do not have a wide availability of restaurants or even products as they mentioned (not inexpensive ones, tha's for sure) which is a shame.

Yeah....me cagué de risa cuando dijo esa huevada

Jajaja

@@veritorossicomentario forzado

Yo pensé lo mismo pasa que tenés que entender que la idea en el Caribe y USA, osea toda colonia anglosajona, es de que el latinoamericano es mexicano/colombiano etc. Lo que tienen más cerca ellos. Se hacen esa idea

depends

La comida paraguaya es muy famosa en bs as. Ej la chipa

I guess is the same for all Latin American countries . Every country is focused in their regional food

I'd love for us to have more options available cause, no matter how much I love empanadas and pizza, it get's boring to eat the same thing over and over again

it's the european taste, we have dishes in other provinces but those are not famous, like a dish that is cool because is from Peru but actually the locals in Argentina have the same.

tengo una experiencia completamente opuesta, siempre saludo y digo gracias a todos los choferes de bondi. Ellos se muestran agradecidos y me responden el saludo, siento que lo aprecian justamente porque poca gente lo hace. Hasta te diría que algunos te cobran menos el viaje tan solo por haber sido cortez con ellos jajaja

Vivo en Mendoza y siempre saludamos a los choferes y nos contestan amablemente.

@@user-xu3bg7zh9c pero de donde sos?? Porque yo me refiero a CABA. Lo de pagar más barato el viaje solamente se lo dan a las chicas lindas, yo cuando era adolescente pagaba solo 10 centavos 🙂

@@patriciapa7379 y en general creo que la gente de otras provincias son más cálidas y menos fría que en CABA. Bueno, yo comenté esto por lo que dijo el alemán, y él está en CABA

well, at least he's honest!

I think that's something that happens to everyone spending a long time abroad. At first you focus on everything that's better in the new country but overtime you notice the things that are good about you own, and that you didn't even notice because you took them for granted.

@@LisandroLorea that's definitely on point, and very eloquently put!

we don't need any other food but asado

The lack of variety of food is not due lack of imports. We don't eat much fish and shellfish and we export literal tons of it. Same with pork, for example. They have a gazillion different types of cheeses and we only have a few.

@@clorox1676 Argentina is a country with a huge sea (We should have much more fish menus than Japan ) and the fish is terribly expensive here just because of taxes and bureaucracy.

@@c4nchi The reason why is expensive is because A) There is little to no market for it due cultural reasons (we simply don't eat enough fish or shellfish) and B) foregein fishing companies own most of the fishing rights in our sea. It's not taxes or bureoucracy, it's plain corruption.

@@c4nchi si vas a la costa es bastante barato

The dont want to move their asses to the outside of Palermo,specially yankees they wan everything close to them and they wanted NOW.

As an expat living in Germany they don’t know what that means. If you ask someone here how they are, they shoot you this incredulous insulted look like you’ve just asked them the most personal question ever. You can only ask friends and family that question😂

@@LJBrown25 I wouldn't say only friends and family, but definitely people that you at least know a little bit. It is weird in germany to ask someone how he is, if you never met before. Thats why he probably feels like it is fake. Which it might be if you really take the question serious. Same happend to me when i was in the US and someone said, "hey, maybe we can meet one time". They didn't really mean it, but in germany if someone tells you that, you can bet they mean it.

@@Gor_Bin I would never ask a stranger in the street, that would be weird in most countries, but acquaintances, work colleagues, other parents from the Kita and bartenders from my experience, it is completely off the cards, at least here in northern Germany. You are partially correct about the honesty. They won’t initiate inviting you to meet up sometime if they don’t mean it, but if you ask them and they don’t want to, they will let you down gently by pretending to agree to it, but cancel it at the last minute.

It is a formality. Every day I greet acquaintances saying “how are you doing?” and they say it back yet neither one answers the question Que costumbre de ofenderse por cualquier crítica ínfima. A llorar a la iglesia

Is a contradiction that guy because if some argentinian ask him "how are you" he says we are fake but if nobody says nothing to him he says that argentinians are rude.

There certainly is.

But the girl who talked about the siesta only lived in Buenos Aires for a few months, so she must have lived for years in other parts of the country.

No son mexicanos. Son ingleses que se hacen pasar por...

No, son 100% chairos recalcitrantes resentidos pro palestina y fanáticos de Putin que comenzaron a vernos con un odio visceral desde que nosotros comenzamos alejarnos del narcosocialismo que ellos estan abrazando desde que votaron a amlo

Los ingleses ni nos registran, no tienen idea ni siquiera donde están las Malvinas. Muchos creen que son unas islitas sin importancia perdidas en el mar del norte que la corona inglesa mantiene por algún interés económico.

a stereotype is a real thing, generally speaking (literally). Looking at a group - any group - you'll always find common traits - stereotypes. They are obviously gone the moment you are specific, and treating an individual. And stereotypes have different degrees of accuracy, of course. They never 100% truth.

That's very bland, European this, European that, That's all Argentina have? Argentina is not only about Buenos Aires, 90% European ethnicity? Come on, there's a lot of Mestizo and indigenous people, nothing wrong about it, it's a mix race country.

​@@ericktwelve11They have a huge complex with this, they need to assert themselves as Europeans and Italians, sometimes I think they are embarrassed to say they are Argentines for some reason, so they prefer to talk about their European ethnicity, and the funniest thing of all is that Argentina is one of the countries with the most psychologists in the world, but apparently the entire population lacks psychological care

@@ericktwelve11 No one said that we do not have a population of indigenous ethnicity, but the data I am offering goes from various foreign reports, including data from the last census. In fact, I did not clarify that depending on the report, our population contains between 50% and 60% of Italian origin. And just in case, I am not from Buenos Aires .... Argentina and Uruguay are the two countries with more than 90% of European ethnicity. Another confusion that I understand that can be generated is some skin tones, which are mostly due to having roots in southern Italy and Spain, where the tones tend to darken a little, which does not affect the ethnicity of the person. In fact I am snow white and my brother has a darker skin tone and we are both children of the same parents.

@@LamuelHenrique you are probably another frustrated latin that hates the Argentines only because they are white

​@@ericktwelve11pero si es verdad. La mayoría vino arriba de un barco y es más hay más italianos con pasaporte y españoles que en otro país de sudamerica. La próxima le digo a mi bisabuelo que no venga de el pueblo de salmur norte de Italia.

Not much germans in Argentina , they are a little more in some parts of the countryside.

Es imposible explicarle el problema, si Ud no ha probado la comida tradicional de otros países (como Jamaica). Le comento mi experiencia, si vale un botón de muestra: estaba en un shopping en Mendoza capital y se me ocurrió pedir sushi en un restaurante atendido por peruanos. Me sirvieron el pedido, pero el wasabi que me dieron sabía a pasta dental. Fui a reclamarle al manager, que admitió que lo tenía que preparar así porque si usaban la receta peruana, no podían vender el plato a los mendocinos. Acto seguido, me preparó otro sin cargo, e igualmente estaba a un 70% de picante de lo que comía en Osaka.

Es una expresión de 14 millones de personas si contás el área metropolitana.

El 30% de la población de Argentina te parece"tiny"? Sumá la provincia de Buenos Aires, influida por ella, y es la mitad. Típico provinciano resentido.
