I just got back from there in June. I spent two weeks and traveled to Buenos Aires, Iguazu, and Mendoza. I'm not sure if you have specific questions or not, but in general:
People speak Spanish (they call it Castellano - which is the Spanish from Spain). A lot of people speak English in BsAs (which is how they abbreviate Buenos Aires) but I encountered several who did not speak English, but if you only speak English you can still get around). The people were friendly but I got a lot of stares as a blonde. There just aren't a lot of blondes there. They love to drink yerba mate (which is the national drink and submarinos - which is sort of like hot chocolate). They tend to eat dinner around 11pm and many restaurants open for dinner very late. They go to work, go home and nap, then go out on the town around 10:30pm. The clubs are open until 6am. There is no siesta in BsAs, but in Mendoza there was (so everything is closed from 1-4pm). Iguazu is beautiful but you need to take a flight there from BsAs. A really fun area of BsAs is called La Boca - great artisan shopping, tourist, artwalks, restaurants. There are no vegetarians - everyone eats meat and lots of it. Portions are huge in restaurants. When you order water, you will order it "aqua con gas" (sparkling) or "sin gas" (plain bottled water). In restaurants, they don't bring you the check when they notice you're done- you have to ask the waiter to bring it. People in the city tend to be very educated but on the outskirts, is where the poor people live. You will see shanties (like in Mexico) where the poverty-stricken live. The city is very clean, taxis are very easy to get, and taxis are cheaper than major cities in the U.S. I suggest going on a half day city tour as soon as you get there so you can see the different barrios (or neighborhoods). Each has different things to offer. They grow Malbec grapes in Argentina and the wine is very good. The drinking age there is 19 I believe.
Hope that helps. |
