Things to Know About Living in Buenos Aires  Honest Advice From a Local
"Buenos Aires is warm, expressive, and deeply social, and as an Argentinian, this feels completely natural to me. Often, when I meet someone for the first time, regardless of gender, I greet them with a hug or a kiss on the cheek, even if we've just been introduced. For visitors, this level of closeness might initially surprise or even shock them, but it's simply part of how we connect."
"Our conversations are usually lively, full of Italian-style gestures, and often passionate (especially about football and politics). We tend to be direct, sometimes even unfiltered, but this frankness almost always stems from friendliness, not rudeness. We're not exactly the most punctual people. When we meet up with friends, usually nobody arrives on time, and some even arrive more than half an hour late. Our dining habits also reflect this relaxed rhythm. Dinner rarely starts before 9 PM, and cafes stay busy well into the night."
