Dos and Don'ts

Dos and Don'ts

Dos:

  • Engage in discussions on topics such as sports; especially soccer.
  • Specify How You Would Like Your Meat Cooked, unlike in the united states, the default style of meat is extremely dry and rare.
  • Know when foods are labled spicy, they will be extreamly spicy, in argentinian cuisine spice is a key ingredient, and often there is alot of it.
  • Get a light snack around5- 6pm, in argentina dinner is commonly served starting at 9:00 and most restaurants only open for dinner around 8:30
  • Be considerate of how you dress. Many Argentines put much effort into dressing nicely and being presentable.

Don'ts

  • Be offended by argentinians’ more direct style of talking,
  • Call Las Malvinas ‘The Falkland Islands’ while the english name for them is the Falkland islands, Argentina has a rocky history with them, and they stand as a reminder of colonialism.
  • Leave the House Before 10am, as a general rule of thumb, aregnitina runs about 2 hours slower than the rest of the world, workdays start at 10am, and meals are served 2 (or more) hours later on average.
  • Stir the Mate; when you order a drk in argentina, stirring the mate is a wsy way of telling the bartender that you do not think they made it correctly, adn it will be taken as being very disrespectful
  • Open the door if you are not expecting anyone; while secrity will not be an issue in the hotels provided, you should still not open doors unless you know who is on the other side.

Language

Language

Most basic Spanish phrases would be helpful to know, however, most of the places that you will be visiting will be heavily touristy, so the majority of people will speak english in some regard. However, some common phrases you my find helpful are “¿dondé está el baño?" (where is the bathroom?), and gracias (thanks!).
