Hi, what were the roads like in the dolomites? Trying to decide on a suitable car

I'm from Argentina, and I'm watching this video while I'm waiting for my dinner, it's almost 23:30 haha

I have no problem with any of the 16, thank you. Perhaps, because at the age of 20 yrs. I lived in Mexico City and studied my last college year in a private Mexican university with Mexican students. Keep up the good work!

Also the public transport system being pretty robust it's interesting, you can pretty much get everywhere with it. I wound't call it clean or pleasant, but it'll get you there

Did you leave the microphone in another country? Can barely hear you.

Milanesa obsession: I'm eating milanesas for breakfast while watching this video 😅

the lack of bidets in english countries tells me that the 1st world is definitely not in the english world but the latin and asian world.

Looks like he is not that impressed with any of the placed he had been..

Not having a bidet in your bathroom is very primitive hygiene and hopefully will take over the world soon, toilet paper is a disgusting way to clean yourself, especially women.

Hey it was great to see you here I’m the kid of Carlos

I'm in bed by 10 pm, up by 6 am, can't imagine eating & immediately going to bed. What time do these people go to bed & get up?

Gotta love that he mentions the loudspeaker vendors, but doesn't explain what the hell they are/do. Seriously tho, most people have no idea, I didn't know until like half a year ago even though it's a noise I've heard every couple days since I was a child.

Y si, es tal cual así pero en el area de B.A. en el norte del pais de donde viene mi familia, inmigrantes Alemanes. Provincia de Misiones, es algo distinto, el acento no es con "y" es con "LL", el mate se toma diferente y la comida varía un poco, en resumen. B.A. italiana, Misiones , polacos, alemanes, rusos y ukranianos. Argentina tiene distancias muy grandes y cada provincia casi que tiene su cultura algo diferente.

Love the street vendors . Common to my country, not so long ago . But they weren’t that loud .

So I'm from NYC and have traveled the entire country to Europe extensively as well as India and Canada, I'm very curious about South America and especially Argentina as it's kinda tucked away and isolated from the old world and North America, I'm a lawyer here in NYC and and am super intigued to Argentina and am thinking of living there and working remotely. This video helped a lot. Question to you is how much did you miss the states when you lived in Argentina?

Many of us (Argentines) don't like to be unpunctual or hear loud noises, and so on. We are not all the same, like in many other countries. In my opinion, and I speak for a lot of locals, one thing that is overrated in many ways is passion, excessive passion. One extreme (but real) example is football, from being called "cold blood" or "cold chest" if you're not interested on it at all, to literally killing somebody else for being fan of another team. As a society, there are a lot of things we need to learn, like being tolerant, thoughtful and more respectful with each other. I think this many cultural changes got started, I hope we make it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Lovely video.

These are “culture shocks” to Americans who have never left the country, or even their state. Those who have traveled to at least Europe will not find any of these things shocking.

I am originally Syrian living in San Diego, Ca for 42 years, definitely we have the same culture in Syria. Moving soon to Mar del plata around November this year I believe it is a great city to have fun, partying and living life like no tomorrow. Always been free spirited and loving the world. I have searching more than 30 countries to retire and living the last of my years in fun country. After extensive research, I believe Mar Del Plata is the right city for me. What do you think ? Am I right? Or you have different city you recommend ? My budget around 2500 US DOLLARS per month, however I all ready searched some condos for sale, thinking seriously to buy a condo there. Any tips or advice, greatly appreciated.

Do Americans just get culture shock at anything that's not American??? Because , as a British European, there is absolutely nothing here that would cause me any kind of culture shock

nice vid, thanks

You keep saying Argentina but you mean Buenos Aires😂

Retiring and landing in BA 9/19/2024 to make it home...well most likely Pinamar or MarDel depending on which the wife likes most.

Todavía la tienen adentro argenturros 😂

What company did you use to rent a car? Also where did you pick it up from Venice? Thank you!

I've moved to Argentina from russia about a year ago. So long I feel amazing here, this country literally helped me to restore my mental health after years of opression at my now former "homeland". Here I can study, work and create a brighter future for myself and for that I am very grateful. I don't know where will I be in 10 years from now (nobody knows) but what I can tell for sure is that Argentina from now on and forever will have a very special place in my heart and my memories ❤🇦🇷

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 !!!
