As an Argentinian, I can say that everything Nicki said in this video is 100% spot on!

The smallest correction I will make is that, while true that ordering water at a restaurant will result in you getting bottled water that you have to pay for, you can instead ask specifically for tap water (agua de la canilla /ka-NEE-sha/) and they will bring you a glass free of charge.

THANK YOU for saying that Buenos Aires is NOT the Paris of South America!! I have always hated that comparison and it doesn’t let BA shine for all its own amazing things. BA is so much better than Paris❤️

Love you Argentina 💜

[lucasomalley]

Wow. This was like a crash course. Buenos Aires 101.

[robertsears]

Ok...I am just a guy from New Jersey. I came to Beunos Aires in 2016 and Santiago, Chilie at the same time. It was really an overnight decision...talk about it at a bar at 8 p.m.
At 700 Am...you are on a plane. Actually on Route to see the Stones in Santiago of the opening night of the south American tour...south America is really really special..talk about fans...I probably have around 500 American concerts under my belt. You go to Santiago and actually survive...you travel to Beunos Aires to see the Rolling have to say one thing...the fans are second to none...Beunos Aires...was especially..probably..most likely...the craziest crowd ever..a really grass roots fan base...quite frankly you made Philadelphia look like sleepers...I will have to deal with that later

Tap water: You won't get sick as the water is clean but many buildings still use lead piping so you just shouldn't drink tap water over a longer period and make sure you let the water run for several seconds before drinking it.

[bosteroxeneize]

[robcook]

I just came across your videos today and I find them to be very informative! I’ve been to Argentina once, in 2019, and can’t wait to return. After traveling all over Europe and once to Argentina, Argentina has become my favorite county to visit. Thanks so much for all of the great information. Your videos are very well done! Look forward to view more of your videos!
