Differences Between Argentina & USA


  1. The people here can't drive I don't understand how did they get a driver license. They drive bumper to bumper and cut each other off with no problem.
  2. Don't know how to pick up girls here. I don't know what to say I really can't explain myself  after the introduction is Spanish. This may sound stupid but I just found out that it is rude or too aggressive to ask a girl for the phone number off the first conversation. When I went to Gualeguaychu I did it and got turned down. Thinking back I could have got her but just had the wrong approach she choose me out the crowd and I dropped the ball. What you do is ask her for her Facebook and talk from there that way she can check you out and read some things about you.ie( just learned that today btw).
  3. Dinner time here is around 10 or 11 pm not like 5 or 6 as it is in America. Also breakfast is normally a bowl of cereal, toast or fruit with a coffee no big breakfast ie( eggs, pancakes, grits) 
  4. You don't drive here the transportation is via ( bus, train/rapid/subte, taxi, walk)
  5. There is no personal space people talk close to you and when you greet another you give them a kiss by their the cheek even the same sex.
  6. Can't find certain foods here peanut butter is rare 
  7. No place to buy Jordans and soccer here is big not American football or basketball
  8. Night life is different you don't go to the clubs till 2am and generally you don't get home till the morning like 6ish maybe even 7 
  9. Alcohol here is cheaper 40 oz are common and the best way to go far as bear wise a 40 oz of Stella can be 8 pesos which is near 2 dollars
  10. Merchants may try to over charge you by being American they have a stereotype that we are all rich. I had an experience when a taxi driver drove around freely as the meter was going and tried to charge me full fair still. I wasn't having it.
