Have YOU visited Argentina? What are some cultural differences YOU noticed?! 🧉😲🇦🇷
Samuel y Audrey, en el campo , para que no se quemen los artefactos electrónicos, se instalan pararayos, entonces no te afectan porque la descarga del rayo irá a tierra, el pararayos también evitará que te caiga un rayo si estás a 50 o 100 metros de tu casa bajo la lluvia.-
DEAR AUDREY..IN BRAZI1 WE A1S0 HAVE THE BIDET....WHEN I WAS A KID I HAD A S0RT 0F ACCIDENT...(DIAHRREIA)..

When I was at the beach in Mar Del Plata a little boy couldn't find his parents, so this man put the boy up on his shoulders and everyone started clapping. The beach was full of people, and they all stopped what they were doing to clap. It was pretty amazing. It worked of course and the little boy was reunited with his parents.
Bidets are more common in Western Europe and even some Central European countries. Yeah, we in North America are the only ones stiuck to the “ Charmin Ultra” technology. Bidets are much cleaner and hygienic and I don’t know why you want to remove it. You probably want one in your house in Canada rather than taking the one out in Argentina 😀
The Japanese take it to a whole new level and you can get the Japanese toilets called “ Toto Neorest 750” and costs $7000 ( USD not CAD ) a pop.
The spray thing is called the “ Bum gun” and it’s ubiquitous in SE Asia where they have adopted the Western Style toilets in the recent decades but they are hesitant to use T.P post business. The bum gun is a cheap and efficient solution to solve that crisis. In fact, other than luxury hotels, toilet paper is difficult to find and you have to go on a scavenge hunt to find the shops that sell TP in SE Asia because the locals don’t buy it or use it.
Argrntine here! I dont use the bidet, dont like the mate xd!
i still remember when lived in Argentina, getting ready to move back to North America, and they told us "in Canada dinner is at 5pm" and i thought "that's meriendatime". As a 9 year old! And now in my 30's i can't even imagine having dinner at 10!! 😂
You have heavy dinner at 10, you go to bed at 12 and you fart and burp all the way thru your nightmarish digestive dreams.....🤣...no, no !!...not the crocodile eating my leg again ....pero c'eme I' favo' !!
@@darioburatovich2240 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
@@AshleyYourLifeHisVoice" don t laugh, this is serious"
Famous phrase from an old Australian cartoon.(look for it )
Great video. I spent 9 months in San Rafael, Mendoza and a month in Claypole Buenas Aires. I too learned to tolerate mate and Malbec lol. I'm from Alaska and we are community oriented here for the most part The closeness/friendliness of the Argentine people really shocked me. From the kiss greetings, to being invited to all kinds of events by complete strangers. It was great!!. I made lots of friends. Still in contact with most a decade later! I look forward to your next video, ciao!
Side note. I had a bum washer too. But I couldn't get used to it. I'm a wet wipe person 😂😂
So cool to hear about your experiences in Argentina, Aaron! It's nice to hear that you also made lots of local friends and got invited to random outings. Those always end up being the best nights and what great memories!
Tolerate Malbec?? It's a great wine. You didn't have to drink it, if you didn't like it. Argentina is the fifth top wine producer in the world.
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires until I moved to the USA twenty two years ago, and yes, you are right about everything! Two details: first, back in the day when I was a kid, mate cocido was prepared by boiling yerba mate in water, then strained and served in cups (with or without milk), we didn't have the yerba mate in the tea bags style by then, and second, the way I used the bidet: there was a rubber plug attached to the bidet by a little metal chain, I plugged the bidet drain, filled it up with warm water and washed my bum with soapy water and a sponge, basically I used the bidet as a bowl since I never liked that 'rain' pointing to my 'cucurucho'. Anyways, thank you for your friendly review about our culture.
What do you mean by cucurucho? Your penis? Because cucurucho is an ice cream cone.
Speaking of friendliness. I have noticed that people in richer countries are more constrained and guard their personal space. In my time I worked in 1 of the poorest part of India; I have never seen more hospitable and generous people, despite their poverty. They actually dragged me into their homes by force to treat me to freshly baked tortillas with hot sauce. ;)
Argentina is not only poverty.Rich and middle class people live here too. You are wrong
Argentina is a G20 country,. It's not a poor nation. It has healthcare for all and free universities. The Teatro Colon, according to National Geographic, is the third top rated opera house in the world thanks to its perfect acoustics. Buenos Aires is called the Paris of the South. Argentina was one of the 10 wealthiest nations in the world until WWII. Around the Gilded Age era, they hired architects and landscapers from France to redesign the city. Of course there are poor people there, and they're going through an economic crisis right now, but I've seen plenty of poverty right here in the U.S.
I came across you guys like 6 or 7 years ago while I was planning a trip to Europe and yours became my go-to travel channel since. It's funny and kind of heart warming you are living in my home country. Big abrazo from Villa Crespo, CABA, Argentina.
Yeey Bangladesh follows the same time for eating like Argentina. Actually Argentines seems exactly like us 😁
Wow, interesting to learn that! Is there also an afternoon siesta or nap time?!
@@samuelandaudrey yes Bangladeshi people love to have a nap in the afternoon if we get the chance. We call it “Bhat ghum”. Specially we have it more in summer.
Muchaaachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar!!!! 🎶
Thank you for the support during the World Cup to all Bangladesh !!
Seguramente te sorprendería también el hecho de que se toma mate hasta en las universidades, entre profesores y alumnos. Saludos.
Doy fé. Y sino de que otra forma podriás aguantar una clase de matemática para ingeniería? hay que bajar tantas ecuaciones con algo...
For the thunders: You need a good grounding. Not just a metal stick 1 meter in the ground, it must be more profound. It must be in wet soil. E.g. the base concrete plate in the basement is a common grounding, there is a special metal which can be inserted into the concrete when pouring. Or a deep metal stick hitting deep into the soil. A fountain is also good, as there is water. Water makes the electrical connection to the soil.
Then, and only then it makes sense, you can install such thunder protection. Those make a shortage when the voltage increases.
Same to the telephone line. If this is strained from pylon to pylon, it is a perfect antenna to collect voltage while a thunder is lighting, as this thunder is a lot of current which induces voltage in every wire. Every wire acts as antenne. Also cables in the ground, depending of how deep those are in the soil.
And at every end of a cable, there is the high resistant for it, every thunder impact acts as a wave, and then it releases its power. This is the flashover inside the sockets.
Especially when a house is at the end of a street, that means, the cable power supply also ends there. It get the most of that flashovers.
That is on the land, as long cables are needed to get the power and telephone to the houses. In the city, most of it is underground, protected in the grounding soil, and then thunder strike cannot induce voltage. I hope I could explain the dilemma.
Unplug all important, expensive and high tech stuff, that is the only insurance to be safe, of course. But if you cannot, as you are traveling or forget to do it, the protections in the power junction box is a must, also in the telephone box where your house is connected, and the house cables start. You can ground this box and insert over voltage protection. Ask your telephone company to install such protectors.
Being a Californian and a 9 time visitor to Argentina, I loved this video! It is spot on.
I also have lived in Porto Alegre, Brazil for a year. That is the capital of Brazil's southernmost state. The citizens there are actually called Gauchos (pronounced gah-oo-sho in Portuguese) and have steak bbq's all the time, drink mate (called chimarrao there), have bidets and show up 30 minutes or more late to everything.
Other than the bidets, none of these things are common in the rest of Brazil.
I am also an architect and am enjoying seeing your hotel transformation!
come back to Argentina
Love videos like this! And agreed, Canada is really reserved - I noticed with American friends who moved here, and then with my spouse and I when we moved to a new part of the country together. It just takes FOREVER to make any friends, and the ones we have made are other immigrants/people who've lived abroad. It's kinda tough, but different countries certainly have their own ways of doing things.
OMG YES RE: VOICE MESSAGING! North Americans haaate that. I feel like it's just a slower form of having a conversation, but I always feel terrible sending them to North American family/friends who haven't lived in a normal place 'cause it's "such an inconvenience" for them...that being said, I hate voicemail. No idea why it's different in my head, but I can't stand that kind of voice message lol
Bidets seem to be big in Italy. I found them in many places I stayed. In India the offices had short hoses in the toilet stalls and often no toilet paper. And late dining...oh, the challenges! Like you, I am up very early and eat dinner at 5 pm. Many restaurants in France, Spain and Italy don't open until 7 pm or later!
The comment about eating late made me laugh- it is crazy how late they eat. Dinner at 11pm is relatively standard. Also, the Argentines are always late. I remember on my first month in BsAs I invited my new friends for dinner at 8pm, and they arrived just before 10pm. No one called to let me know they are running late, and to my questioning, they happily responded " you're not in the UK anymore'. Time has a different meaning in Argentina:)
Jajaja
There is a bit of disconsideration in my fellow Argentos, I've been living in Australia for only the last 42 years....there are many boring features in Australian customs, but we Argentinians are a bit over the top ...we are "slightly" selfish some times...let's leave it at that ...😄
Lateness is a South American characteristic, and it is really not acceptable. When other people are counting on you to show up time, you are disrespecting them by deciding to show up whenever you feel like it, especially if it is a business meeting. Who wants to do business with someone who can't even show up on time for a meeting?
I am Argentine and I think that those new Argentine friends are irresponsible, it is good that for us 8 pm is very early but they cannot arrive 2 hours later and not notify us.
@@claudiopiazza3793 Yes, very disrespectful. Especially if you have all the food ready at 8
In general as an Argentinian and for all those wondering, Argentina is a country that places a great deal of importance on respect, despite our... well, our general behavior when seen from outside.
We may seem rude and crude, but that's just our general demeanor and is not necessarily an aggression. Respect goes both ways, and we'll be very friendly as long as we believe you're a "respectable" person (AKA you haven't straight up insulted our country, our food or our sports stars... and depending on political leanings, you can shittalk the government (though you can always shittalk governments in general if you're nonspecific)).
Re: Clapping:
It used to be a lot more common in cities when doorbells weren't so common, and you can still see people clapping to call the homeowner's attention when there's a blackout somewhere or when, say, a young boy is sneaking into his girlfriend's home while her parents are having a nap, because the doorbell will invariably alert them.
Banks:
In cities, Banks are open 9-15, but they remain in operation until 17:00, though they don't allow people into the building past 15 they will continue their business until 17:00, and electronic business goes on until usually 18:00 or 18:30.
We are proud of our land and culture and we want tourists to feel welcome and know our traditions
Don't forget Argentina is a mix of so many imigrantes we made them feel at home ..so is in every Argentina genes
QUE BIEN SAMUEL CON SU MATE SE VE MUY FELIZ
😊🧉✨
Best thing ever, and sounds like the best place ever.❤
Learning and experience the different cultures of countries is so good and helps you grow to be a better person
Great video! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Uhuuuuu!!!!, a disfrutar un nuevo video!!!. Listo el 👍🏻 y vamos!!!!!!
El videito del día Domingo. Esperamos que los disfruten. Saludos a la familia!
With everything you are telling us, I would not mind living in Argentina. I am social and I see people every weekend because on week days it is much harder with my schedule…Argentinian people have a great sense of family and friendly relationships. 😊😊😊
As far as I know, the bidet is part of the building code, you can't remove it or it doesn't count as a bathroom and it doesn't qualify as a family home without a bathroom, so you probably can't legally remove it from a home or a hotel. Also the middle knob is not exactly to adjust the height of the spray, it diverts the water so that it falls from the sides, then you can plug the drain, and have a little pool filled with water, I guess to wash your feet. Your bidet might be broken if that doesn't happen when you turn the middle knob. Also you'll often see a small plastic plug for the drain attached to the bidet via a small chain
Sí, Audrey y Samuel hagan más videos de este tipo, saludos!
It sounds exactly the same when we were in a village in Malaga, Spain. I thought "Oh. they are 50 years behind!" but I liked it.
???
Love seeing these differences! Such a great job describing how things have been different!
Hello Sam and Audrey, we don't miss a video. We have relatives who live in Buenos Aires and have visited many times. You were spot on with cultural differences. One of the differences when
it comes to electricity, the wires in many homes are not grounded which causes those electrical surges. If you decide to redo your electricals in your renovations, you might consider grounding
wires which prevent surges. Don't know if that's possible there. We did figure out that when our cousins said , meet you at 6 expect 8. We like the idea of naps and bidets . As far the phone,
We also think it's a generational thing that young people text more and us older folks leave audio messages like voice mail. WE do text more now. We think the biggest difference we noticed is
in Argentina is the pace. Slow down, you're going too fast. As always, a great video. Love you dearly ❤❤ La Paz y la Prosperidad siempre te acompanen Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
so glad you guys are still making videos. !this one is great! thank you!
Love this video on Mate! Also, Sam's hair is looking the best I've seen on any of you guys' videos, lol! Have fun in Argentina - we just got back from a 2 week family vacation in Buenos Aires and Bariloche - love, love, love ARGENTINA!!!
Haha, thanks Angela! Those ginger locks are still growing and looking pretty fabulous. 😅 It's so nice to hear that you had a good time in Argentina. Ahh, Bariloche in the summertime! We're hoping to get down to Patagonia soon too.
Bariloche was amazing! I had seen a previous video you guys did on the boat tour to Isla Victoria and the Arreyanes Forest, which inspired us to take that same trip 😀
It was amazing, absolutely enjoyed our day!
Thanks for the recommendations and keep doing what you guys do 💗
Very cool video and very educational. This explains a lot from my visit to CABA a few years ago.
In Florida we use what’s up a lot more than other States…it is consider more friendly…
Hello Audrey and Samuel, what a beautiful place where you live. It looks peaceful and inviting.
I enjoyed this type of video. It brings so many memories of when I go visit my homeland Chile.
In Chile we drink mate as well, but not as much as in Argentina, at least not in Santiago, more so in the south. And regarding punctuality, non existing, which drives me crazy when I go visit, since I have been living in Canada for over 40 years. But is nice to enjoy the friendliness of the people, our latin culture. I would enjoy more videos like this one. Enjoy the summer and keep safe!
This was very fun and interesting. The friendliness sounds wonderful and welcoming. I imagine the people in town might also be happy to see you guys renovating the hotel/bringing back that history.
Hi guys, that was a great video! I enjoyed it a lot. Keep them coming! I'm living in Buenos Aires, here I don't unplug things... I used to that in the past though, particularly when I was living in my hometown in greater BA. There, stores also close during siesta time, and having lived in big cities, BA and abroad, I also find it annoying not having stores or banks open during siesta time or longer hours. I do remember calling a bank or going to a bank on a Sunday while abroad. The same goes with the "tomorrow" culture/standard. That "tomorrow" may come 2, 3, 4 days later or even never. Or else, they come for an hour or less and drag getting the job done for days!! Luckily I have found a couple of repair guys that even though are bit more expensive, have never stood me up. Fingers crossed, I still need to find a gas technician, LOL. I do love that people are very spontaneous in character and sociable, and also find it more genuine than in other countries. Having to schedule meetings, errands, appointments and gatherings so well in advance makes me anxious because I keep worrying that I might forget about them.
Excelente video! Me sentí muy representado por todas jajaja saludos desde Salta 😁💚
😂😂😂
The mate "obsession" hahaha . Great guys!! I love this video," soy una matera", the bitter one. Un abrazo chicos desde La Plata, Argentina.
Thanks for sharing! ❤
Very very nice video. Learning about a new culture is better than reading a book. I have been to Argentina and know what you talking about. Yes, do more videos like that. 🙏
Just a huge thank you, I think I watched all your food and life tip's for my trip to Buenos Aires, just got a fantastic blue dollar rate from a little store opposite our hotel $360 to the US$, going to grab pizza at Guerrin's early evening and finish with Malbec on the waterfront at Puerto Madero, watched the other video's on the Welsh speaking Patagonia folk heading there as I speak Welsh, and head down to the end of the world Tavern in Ushuaia.
Thanks for the tips
Welsh speaking,beer drinking professional chef and travel junky.
Great video guys! You explained everything pretty well!
thank you again!it is an interesting video where i can note the cultural differences between france and argentina as well
Jajaja!!! Muy bueno, sos una buena embajadora excelente video!
Hi Guys, I’ve never been to Argentina but I like the customs you mentioned. One specifically I agree with wholeheartedly! The bidet 😃 I have one and I love it! I use it on a daily basis! Looking forward to your next video 😊
🧉🧉😂 excelente! .me encantó como nos ven los extranjeros, son cosas tan cotidianas para mi y tan normales que me sorprende que sean raras para otros😂
Interesting video indeed. Cheers from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Guys,
Thanks for sharing the culture shock.
I loved your video!!Iwas born in Toronto,Canada but I grew up in Cordoba,Argentina.I visited Canada in some occsasions since I have relatives there.Listening to you helps me a lot to get to know Canadians better.More videos are welcome.
Que lindo verlos!
Gracias Debora. Saludos!
AUDREY AUNQUE NO ENTIENDO EL IDIOMA TE ESTOY MIRANDO ME GUSTO MUCHO EL VIDEO QUE MANDASTES DE TU PAPA UN SALUDO PARA TI Y SAMUEL URUGUAY
Tienen este mismo video en el canal de español
¡Hermoso les ha quedado el parque!
Ahí es donde alquilamos. A nuestro parque le falta mucho todavía!
I always learn something in your videos! 👌
Que lindo ver a Samuel con el mate🧉
Hello Audrey and Samuel!! What an interesting video! I really liked it and I love how you appreciate Argentine customs. . Although some of the customs you mention are country customs... And they don't occur in big cities like Buenos Aires, the Capital of Argentina where I live, which is a very big city and where most people usually don't take naps because they don't have any time and life is not as calm as in the country side or in little towns in the provinces, in fact life in Buenos Aires is more hectic.. jaj.. I love all your videos!! Best Regards!!!
Hi Audrey and Sam!
Yay! Sam loves mate 🧉
Yes, mate is addictive 👍🏻
We also prefer drinking mate cocido 🍵
You can also use the bidet to wash your feet 🦶🏻🧼🦶🏻
Loved it! Our next Airbnb has a bidet ... soooo ... ready with the instructions. I wonder where the bum towel section is in Dia ..?
So, you are becoming a truly and real Argentine person
Argentine's have tea between 4 - 5 PM in the afternoon, like the British. Of course they are not ready to have dinner at 5 or 6 PM. Personally, although I'm in the U.S., I hate having dinner so early. By 10 PM I'm hungry again. The mate thing is more a tradition in the provinces. I know very few people in Buenos Aires who are "obsessed" with mate. I never liked it. I do like "mate cocido", though. The clapping and unplugging of electronics must be in more rural areas. I went to boarding school in Bs. As., run by Irish-Argentine nuns. It was a school for girls of Irish descent. It's an actual castle. I love Buenos Aires, it looks like old Paris. The older buildings are stunning. I'm going back in August, I can hardly wait.
I like your video summing up key cultural differences. It reminds me a lot Spanish habits especially Andalucia as well as Morocco and the south of Italy, not really surprising to find these customs there as they shared the same culture with Arabic civilization in the past. very interesting to see that it’s still going on in some regions of the world 👍👍 thanks for sharing
In uk is cold .rain ..so people in uk is like their weather..miserable..close. reserved. In Argentina is land of sun and fertility that's why we smile and friendly
Hi guys! I love your videos! I'm from Argentina and I'm living in Toronto. I like to watch your videos in English so I can practice the Language and of course, I watch your videos in Spanish too!
I spend three long years without drinking mate until I found where I could buy yerba! hahaha! Now happily I drink mate every day and I always have two packs of yerba stored in the kitchen, just in case one day I can't find some again! hahaha!
I wrote some differences I found when I came to live in Canada in your Spanish version of this video.
Now I just remember another difference we found here in Canada. In Argentina when we wait for the bus at the bus stop, we have to raise our arm to make the bus stop. Here people wait at the bus stop and the driver just stops so people can get into the bus.
My English is not very good yet! sorry about that! hahaha!
Keep doing more videos like this one!
Great video 😊
Capo , Samuel!! El mate no gusta de inmediato...lleva su tiempo , y luego es un vicio... hermoso!!
Es una infusión absolutamente sana y energética!!
Huuuuuuuu!! jajajaja nunca ví a alguien asombrarse por un bidet 🤣
Just got back from Argentina after a month - agree with everything you covered 😄
Que bueno amigos. Se los ve muy felices. Audrey aca somos muy amigueros, somos muy de divertirnos todo el dia y de estar continuamente reunidos.-
Loving the Moosehead t-shirt!!
Always interesting to see differences in countries other than our country m
We have mate in the US. I started seeing it 30 years ago when I started going to health food stores and Whole Foods came to the area. It’s prepared like regular tea (bag or loose). The stores also have the traditional cup and straw. It’s all a caned and bottled drink you can get at convince stores and any grocery store. At least here, in California, it’s not exotic. But, no one is sharing. 😊
I’m in my 50’s, and I was taught to unplug the small appliances as well. My dad never unplugged the TV. 🤷🏽♀️
They live in the mountains in the province of Cordoba and it is a place with a lot of nature where many electrical storms occur. I live 100 miles from that place and when I was 15 years old lightning struck and burned several televisions in the area, It felt like an explosion.
Hola ! Muy buen video ! Tienen toda la razón en lo que cuentan ! Les agrego algo: el saludarse con un beso en la mejilla entre hombres o entre personas de cualquier genero que recién se conocen ! Saludos desde Bs As !!
Entre hombres es mas en Buenos Aires y algunas provincias, no en todo el país.
Ing.... característica asombrosa ........... Costumbres notas diferencias en las formas de convivir según los horarios importante es eso. Más vecindario hay, más vida dentro de la vivienda. No compañerismo en Buenos Aires, es como si pertenece exclusivamente a la institución donde cursé. Mis hijos mejores compañeros ¿por qué se quejan si nacemos y nacen ? No es búsqueda de problemas, que empiezan en alguna amistad de la institución.😮
Enjoyed the video. I'm used to having dinner around 5 pm too. I wonder if I could hold out to 9 pm 😀
Hello, I am from Jujuy-Arg now living in Texas. I was very surprised by the unplugging of electronics. We have big electric storms in Jujuy and I have never seen anyone unplugging stuff out.
About WhatsApp, I do send audio messages all the time LOL. I think is better and easier.
Mate has the same effect as coffee. it is addictive and keeps you alert due to the mateine which is caffeine in the mate.
Hope you enjoy your time there. :)
Great video again Audrey
Thank you, Effie! Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you guys had a great time in Thailand!! 🤗
@@samuelandaudrey We had a great time in Thailand for 3 months but we are happy to be back in Canada
The peculearetys was interesting and amusing
Austrian here. You need to unplug stuff during a storm cause the lightnings can hit the lines. I heard of a dishwasher that caught fire in Germany cause it was plugged in during a storm
😄 Oh cool! My grandparents in poland also did that: oh a storm is coming, we have to unplug every electric item we have!
But they were right, once they stopped being so careful, a flash really hit their antenna on the roof and the TV died 🤷♀️
Love your videos!
Tremendo video como siempre Chicos!!. Pues si, en mundo anglosajón es muy diferente a los latinos, aunque en Chile en muy raro el uso del bidé, creo que nunca he visto uno. Ayer vi a Daniel, casi me hizo llorar, esta si vino!!! 😩😩😩😩😩, acabo de mundo 😂😂😂. Somos Plinio, Luisa y Plinio Jr. desde Talcahuano, Chile!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Pregunta...si no usas bidet, how do you wash after number 2 ? Usar papel únicamente es de alguna manera ir afinando capas del número 2.... Yo no entiendo como viven si no usan un bidet.
Audrey, I can tell you than when a Venezuelan said “give me a minute”… means an hour or more. Appointment for a meeting or a party for Venezuelan means appointment time plus 2 hours or more…we are notorious to answer to the question: Where are you?, with something like… we are close or almost there but we still at home far away…!!!
Me maté de la risa!! Todo es tan cierto!!!! Normalmente cenamos entre las 11 y 12 de la noche, con un buen pedazo de carne (asado, o bife de chorizo) con papas fritas y ensalada. Excelente video!!!
Since you have dinner so late.....
What are the hours most people sleep in Argentina?
In the USA most of are in bed by 11 pm.
We sleep until 6 or 7 am.
HOLAAAAAA CHICOS!!!
Hola Audrey y Samuel.
Me gusto el video.
Abra versión en español de este video.
Saludos desde Córdoba Edgardo 🍷.
Wow
wow it's amazing to me that opening at 8 o clock is too late! i never heard of anyone eating dinner before 9 unless it's an older generation. some of our grandparents used to eat at 8, but they were considered maniacs by most of the people who ate at 9 or 10. i usually eat at 10:30, 11 pm. sometimes at 12 pm.
I guess the difference between "audio notes" on "What's App" and voice mail messages on a telephone service is that with the latter, there is a chance the person you are contacting could pick up the phone and you'd need to be ready to talk to them. Is that correct?
I don't use a smart phone and mostly use a land-line and expect people to call me and leave a message if I can't pick up and it never occurred to me that people might be afraid to call me on the phone. I remember back in the 60s and 70s my father saying my mother was afraid to use the phone sometimes. I could barely imagine it could possibly be a problem but I guess it can be. Thanks for mentioning it. These days, if people are afraid to talk on the phone, why can't they just send an email? Why do they have to "text" everythiing?
In Argentina, older people talk on the phone, those under 50 send a message on Whatsapp and if we have to talk we send them a message asking if we can call them, it's so as not to disturb them, I always have it on silent on the phone so that they don't make noise
Wow, I like the clapping part. I wonder if you guys were wondering why someone's clapping at your front yard the first time😄 Oh yeah, once you have a bedit, you will never go back to the old way. The voice note would be awkward for me too, since I stumble on my words whenever I leave a voice-mail. That would definitely take time to get used to. 😂 Argentina sounds so laid back, love it!
22:51 You should buy a voltage stabilizer (estabilizador de tensión). It keeps the voltage flow without any variance ratio. So nothing will "burn"
El bidet lo heredamos de los italianos. En toda Italia podes verlo en los hoteles. The Italian immigration inserted the bidet in the argentinian culture. You can see the bidet in many Italian hotels or houses. You can check it watching in booking or Airbnb.
I'm like Daniel an argentinian immigrant who lives in Ireland. Also as a plus you can see a bidet in a very famous American movie called the shining.
Exactamente
Cómo llegó el bidet a la Argentina? "Hacia 1880, cuando París era la meca cultural de los argentinos, los que iban a París lo conocieron y se enamoraron. Fueron ellos los que lo trajeron. Así fue que se convirtió en el cuarto artefacto imprescindible en cada baño. (Museo de agua e historia sanitaria de AySa)
All of your Canadian experiences are similar to mine, growing up in Edmonton, Alberta.
Excellent cultural comparison. In short: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
Aquí en Uruguay se usaba el videt una fuente en el.baño 🤣 ahora se usa la ducha iguienica es como una ducha al lado del wather o inodoro saludos desde URUGUAY 🇺🇾
Give me the tea bags!

Hi Audrey and Sam. I am a follower from California, USA. I am Italian, Venezuelan and North American now… In Venezuela all the bathroom has a bidet as the Argentine bathroom has…!!! But nothing in USA.
About punctuality, you haven’t met my older aunt, she is 1/2 hour earlier to every thing , specially the busses , Lunch is 11:30 , tea time at 4:00, dinner is at 8:00;( very early for Argentina) then going out for a promenade! . Restaurant open late, specially in summer, because in the past it Would have been too hot at 5:00 o’clock.
Mate taste a lot like green tea. Probably a little stronger. It's an herbal tea. So, if you only drink herbal tea this would work for you. In the US, you can buy it at amazon or Argentine stores in your area (if you have one). I drink it as mate cocido (tea bag). I like mine with sugar.
Great video! I'm going on holiday to Argentina from 17 March until 2 April: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, and El Calafate. This will be my third visit to Argentina. However, my previous visits were a long time ago: mid 80's and early 90's. I am going to see if Argentina is a good country to retire to when I finally retire in '26. Besides the unstable currency, my greatest concern about Argentina is that I'm vegan. During my first visit to Argentina, I was a carnivore. On my second visit to Argentina in the early 90s, I was a vegetarian and did not find BA vegetarian-friendly at all. Hopefully, the vegan/vegetarian situation in BA at least has ameliorated in the last three decades.
Nice to see the video eating. It starts with a bide jajaj😅
Hi Audrey...absolutely loved this video. Thank you. Ummmmm I feel like I should message you on What's App!!! Lol. Take care.
Hello Guys. Interesting video about habits. Audrey, mate is drunk not only in Argentina, but also in Uruguay (uruguayans are terribly adicted to mate), in Paraguay and in Brasil in the states of Rio Grande Do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná (gaúchos, with stress in the u) and in Mato Grosso. So you have there at least 80 million people that drink mate. There are a couple of known english football players that also drink mate, because they've had argentinians or uruguayans teammates that lead them to drink mate. Cheers!
Holaaaaa chicos!!!!! Hoy un video diferente pero muy real.
Las diferencias culturales o costumbres fueron cambiando a través de los años.
En la medida que haya más intercambio entre los pueblos , muchas costumbres tienden a generalizarse por sentido común.
El bidet por ejemplo, no viene de la cultura española, si fue tenido en cuenta hace poco más de 100 años cuando familias adineradas argentinas iban de vacaciones a Francia, precisamente Paris y los veían en las grandes residencias u hoteles de allí
Al regresar nuevamente querían ese artefacto aquí, así fue que se incorporó.
Las amistades de compartir entre conocidos que después terminan siendo amigos, se da más en el interior del país que en las grandes ciudades, igualmente esa tendencia de reuniones en las casas está presente.
Sigan subiendo vídeos con otras diferencias que seguramente aparezcan y también cómo sigue la construcción.
En el video de Daniel, las pizzas se veían espectaculares pero Togo no apareció
También estaban los niños y nos imaginamos que fue por eso.
Chauuuu hasta el próximo video, cariños de Graciela y Carlos de Ezpeleta Quilmes Argentina ❤❤❤❤❤
