Haha “everywhere” . 🌎 Love that! Yeah man miss ya as well!

Lol. It’s all perspective. I can’t say what the average dinner time is across the 197 recognized nations in the world but definitely compared to North America and most of the northern euro countries the dinner time in Argentina is “late”, lol. Works for some and is difficult for others!

@DontWonderExplore in Spain they usually have dinner late too.

@@mraleister666 yes, I agree. I’ve been and experienced it. I believe in general the southern European countries/cities in the south have that schedule but I can’t confirm for all! Anyhow, yeah it’s simply a choice. Some people like the alter lifestyle and some are the early birds! And some people just don’t sleep, lol.

@DontWonderExplore in Argentina it has changed over the years. 40-50 years ago it was almost unthinkable to make a phone call to a house after 8 p.m. People went to bed earlier. By 10 p.m. people were already sleeping. And now you see, almost 1 a.m. and still up. Lol.

Dieciséis = 16

Haha yes

Thanks for sharing!!

Hahaha happy to hear of all of the things you truly enjoy about Argentine culture! AND although you weren’t born then it’s great you have gotten the chance to live in Argentina for so long!

Thanks! You should!

Haha.

Gracias!

Yes it was! Thanks!!

Hello! & yes 100% subjective! Others shocks are ones favorite parts! lol. Happy to hear you’re enjoying your decision from 30+ years ago. All the best!!

Haha! Yup so you can relate!

Yes, it definitely was! Here’s to more motor home adventures! 🙌

Yessir not a bad trip at all!

Happy to help! If there are any other questions that I can answer just lmk! Enjoy the trip!!

It is beautiful

Well, there are plenty of places to live in and around Sydney if that isn’t your vibe! Overall, I’d say people can “fit in” there if they would like to!

Thanks. Have been to Bariloche , but didn’t hear a major difference while there. Maybe i missed the subtle difference. Mendoza some day to hike for sure!

Thank you!!

Hello, and yes of course thanks for mentioning these here! Yes, the timeline for things is a lot earlier. We snack but still eat dinner earlier than in Argentina. The nightlife scene definitely depends on what city you are in but probably on average things are open later in Argentina!

Thanks for the update!! Makes sense that they increased the fee. To be honest I’m surprised that they didn’t increase it sooner. 🙏 Happy to hear that this video was helpful for you! Enjoy your extra time in Argentina!

Haha thanks.

For us, the roads were very good. No issues at all. We had a jeep; the one that you can see in the video and that was more than sufficient, and we chose that to have a good space for our luggage in the back. Hope that helps! Cheers

Haha. Well, enjoy your dinner!

Sounds good! AND yes it is not so much as “having a problem” with or NOT having a problem with the culture shocks , in my opinion, THE IDEA of the video is to educate others who may never visit or those who might visit as to what to expect and then they can form their own opinions if it’s a lifestyle for them or not! Thanks .

Thanks for adding this for the community

Hmm interesting. Thanks for the reply.

Hahaha that’s great! Enjoy your milanesa!

Hahaha quite possibly

Hey thanks for your comment! Overall, the places were great. It really is subjective as to what each person truly enjoys on a trip. Hope that helps give more clarity. Cheers!

Thank you

Hello, it all depends on each persons lifestyle and work schedule. Some people do eat late and stay up late even if they have early work AND others , of course, may not follow this schedule.

Hey thanks for the comment! my partner, a local, explained to me their purpose but yes I didn’t think to mention that in keeping the video from being too long!

Thanks for sharing!

@@DontWonderExplore hay pocos paises en el mundo con este nivel de diversidad, mis abuelos alemanes vinieron a trabajar en este hermoso país que estaba entre los primeros 7 del mundo

I live in a very small country town in Costa Rica. The street I live on is fairly short but turns into a big "u" shape that finally runs back into the main road. There are a couple of cars/pickups that travel on the street at least 2 times a week. One is selling eggs (in cartons of 30) eggs and the other is a truck picking up recyclable trash. Their loudspeakers are so loud that they wake people up if they're not used to them, such as my cousins from the US.

@stevekollen1672 yeah it can be an adjusted , as you imply.

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!

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

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!

Thx for your comment! I think this might be a comment best answered by any Argentines here in the comments! It does sound like you’ve done a ton of research & are excited so why not give it a try, and if you like it then possibly purchase a place. Best of luck!

en argentina existió una de las comunidades sirio libanesas mas grandes del continente,comunidad que aporto muchos rasgos de nuestra cultura actual y aunque pasa desapercibido su origen, igualmente esos aportes culturales están presentes todo el tiempo,y asi como siria colaboro en nuestra cultura ,argentina comparte con siria el gusto por el mate ,siendo siria el tercer mayor consumidor de yerba mate en el mundo ,más que uruguay ,investiga un poco en que provincias están las comunidades mas grande de sirios argentinos ,estoy seguro que te va a gustar recorrer el pais y encontrar esas influencias ,abrazo y bienvenido

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?

Thank you!
