Argentina is flat?? Men, you need to travel a lot through all the region, Córdoba has a beautiful nature for example

With the issue of the schedule it is a custom, an Argentinian who goes to another country is bothered that everything closes at 6 pm and cannot go to a restaurant at 10 pm, in terms of landscape, the geography is similar to the United States Most of it is flat but the mountain parts are few in relation to the size of Argentina, but it must also be said that the part of the mountains in Argentina have a surface area larger than an entire European country.

As an argentinian I can see that this guy doesn't know anything about Argentina.It just another tourist who see Argentina as tourist

I love the way you're so straightforward with certain things, unlike other youtubers who are always very careful with what they say to avoid offending anyone. Fuck political correctness! 🤣🤣

Neither member of Messi' family has been kidnapped in Rosario. That is a false and misleading statement, You should take back your words and apologize.

We have a very European lifestyle more than a Latin-American one, thanks to our European ancestors who built this country. About 80% of the population here is Italian and Spanish (mainly), then German, French, Polish descendant because of the massive immigration that happened in the 1800s and 1900s. In America, Argentina welcomed the most European immigrants after the USA. It´s common for people here to have dual citizenship even if you weren't born in Europe, because of the Italian and Spanish laws of inheritance. We also have the biggest Jewish community in America, besides the USA -You don't see Kosher Mc Donald's outside of Israel but we're the home of one in our historic Abasto neighborhood in Buenos Aires. We're very italian culturally (Pasta Sundays with la nonna and the whole family are sacred) with French bits and pieces. Add a bit of Latin-American flavor and you've got Argentina. The city of Buenos Aires is like a melting pot of different kinds of people. You'll see more of this European heritage in more of the conservative areas of the country, like rural areas in the province of Buenos Aires and the upper-mid, mid to southern part of the county, other cities like Cordoba a or Rosario for example, Patagonia, etc. We once were the most developed country in America after the USA and Canada. Sadly communism took our future away and after the 60´s things started to slowly change. For some reason, though, we're still going strong as a community, we're still very patriotic and defend our nation despite all the negative. Weatherwise and geographically, Argentina is like the USA but upside down, because of obvious geographical reasons, with the exception of Brazil that has the tropical weather and the best beaches. Economically, we're a muddled mess but we're the great grandsons, great grand daughters, grand sons and grand daughters of those who came from the old world, meaning we have the ethic and the work culture that was passed along. And that my friend, is what's keeping us somehow alive.

Hi! I’m an American expat currently living in San Rafael, Argentina. Interesting video!

Argentina safety has nothing to do with “demographics” - it’s because it’s not directly in the major drug routes.

Argentina is the BEST because is unique and incomparable with the others capitals of the región. Greetings friend.and enjoy it B

There is NOT siesta en Buenos Aires you are so wrong

[jairojaviermedinazeledon]

They follow a Spanish system where all restaurants close at 1 pm and reopens at 7pm. If you are hungry you need to settle with bakeries for a small snack.

Jake Runnels, nice video keep up the good content

Also, there darker, more Latino or indigenous looking people in Buenos Aires, but they tend to be more in certain barrios. There aren´s so many on the north side.

As of this time, the US$ = about 1100 Arg. pesos. The money changers on the street aren´t getting much business now. I can get a decent rate from a Travel Agency on the block I´m on, which I have come confidence in. The general inflation has slowed recently, but prices remain not much less than in parts of USA. It´s because of the US$ devaluation vs. the peso. I am in Congreso in central Buenos Aires. There are 10 Western Unions within about a 10 minute walk. I am in budget hotel for US$26/night. Real estate prices are often in US$ and are good value given the quality of life in Buenos Aires.

Thanks for sharing real facts about my country.

[freelancelady]

I believe we live a time where we have to avoid big cities no matter where you live in the world. Big cities are no longer very safe at all. Living in the country side where everybody knows everybody is a much nicer situation😊😊😊

[raphaelturrasprenger]

Argentina is quite safe, in my opinion.

[jeoboden]

What I spend in a day / weekly / monthly budget vid, how to get residency, etc are what I'm looking for. Investor visa only 2k usd but they still have to approve it

Jake, I read that the people of Argentina are less friendly to Gringos than other Latin American countries. What is your experience? Also do you have any knowledge of costs for personal services like personal trainer, Spanish lessons, and salsa lessons? Thanks
