- The first time traveling to Argentina and on the first day of getting settle in, we have to overcome some of the struggles here in Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
(***NOTE: This Buenos Aires travel video was filmed in March)
ABOUT BUENOS AIRES:
Buenos Aires (/ˌbweɪnəs ˈɛəriːz/ or /-ˈaɪrɪs/) is the capital and largest city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the South American continent's southeastern coast. "Buenos Aires" can be translated as "fair winds" or "good airs" Buenos Aires is the fourth-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas, with a population of around 15.6 million
Buenos Aires is a multicultural city, being home to multiple ethnic and religious groups. Several languages are spoken in the city in addition to Spanish, contributing to its culture and the dialect is spoken in the city and in some other parts of the country. This is because in the last 151 years the city, and the country in general, has been a major recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it a melting pot where several ethnic groups live together and being considered one of the most diverse cities of the Americas

Those old elevators.. man .. brings me back. Buenos Aires feels like being stuck in Europe in the 1950's. It's such a cool place.
Europe and the Americas were incredibly good in the 1950's for it was an era of economic miracle supporting the common man to thrive well. However 21st century is a completely different game much like that before WW1 and WW2 except this time everything is almost completely globalized through standardization. I'd love to time travel back to be stuck in the 1950's for a nice house or building was attainable simply by working a regular average Joe kind of job. Yes, I'd give up all this high tech fabulous science fiction becoming real thing to return to the era of post WW2 economic and social stability where national security of what seemed to be sovereign nations was for a good several decades protected in high esteem for there was great hope and glory.
It is not cool, it is actually really sad.
@@migueltaranto9679 Exactly, only foreigners would say such aa thing
@@migueltaranto9679 es verdad nos caemos a pedazos
Brings back Memories.. haven't been to Argentina since summer of 2015.. damn time flies.
Its an incredible place :)
I lived in Buenos Aires for nearly 10 years. I return for at least 4 months out of the year. I try and avoid the Chicago winter. But the coronavirus pandemic hit and I have not been to Buenos Aires since March of 2020. Man do I ever miss Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷. And all of Argentina 🇦🇷 also. Argentina is an awesome country.
Everything seems expensive because you exchanged your money at the official rate by using an ATM to withdraw money. A travel hack for people who want to travel to Argentina is to bring cash with you and exchange money on the streets of Buenos Aires at the unofficial rate which is much much better than what the bank offers you. As a first time traveler to Buenos Aries a few years ago, I was asked to go to this one particular street where individuals would walk up and down the street to offer "cambio" discretely. It was quite an experience.
Sounds like excellent advice!
wish we got advice from you before traveling, this is definitely helpful
@@DivertLiving I couldn't remember the name of the street where I did the currency exchange but after reading a few blogs of people who had done the same thing, it jolted my memory... Calle Florida. You can get like 30%-50% more than what the bank offers you depending on the denomination of USD you have on hand and your bargaining skills. I was perpetually short on cash because I refused to use my ATM card or credit card to pay for anything... basically to avoid the official exchange rate that comes with using them.
singlah is Calle Florida
That's exactly how Myanmar was 10 years ago when it first open up to foreign tourists. The official rate made the country expensive, but the unofficial rate from a Scott Market seller was incredibly exponentially better by many times making everything most unusually nearly free where I only spent like $200 in 2 weeks despite having a couple thousand USD in cash at the time. It was odd that only the oldest people spoke English who were all about afternoon tea eager to purchase any and all US dollars they could from foreigners.
Argentina is a great country. Buenos Aires is amazing. I have lived in BsAs and Santiago, Chile on and off for many years. To call it 'expensive' for people from north America or Europe is ridiculous. Argentina is extremely affordable. Dinner for two in a fairly nice restaurant is about $25-30 USD, with a bottle of wine. A beer in a local pub is about $2.25 USD. If you go out to a really expensive top five star restaurant, dinner for two is $50-70 USD.
We arent comparing it to North America, we are talking about Argentina vs the rest of South America :)
@@DivertLiving Ahhh...gotcha! Always enjoy your videos.
and Mexico is in North America.
Been wanting to go to Argentina - love the European look of Buenos Aires
It really feels like that!
@Deinis de Sousa
And a comment like yours reminding us that still are very ignorant people in the world!
Regards
The architecture of buenos aires almost reminds me of some of the classical very old style architecture in new york city. Alot of the old luxury buildings look almost the same! I have definitely been in an elevator like that in old NYC buildings!! They are always a little scary ! LOL. Excited for the argentinian steak content!!!!
Yes! They really are a little scary!
Recoleta is a perfect base to explore BA from. Hope you had an amazing time there!
We did! It was such a nice place!
Good to see you guys are safe. Sweet vlog.
I love watching ur videos🤗 thx for making ur vids and putting the extra time in to filming and editing them so we can watch the different styles of life
Thank you so much for noticing :)
It’s amazing how far you guys have come since I first saw your videos
I remember when you were at 2k subscribers
Its our claim to fame that you commented on a couple of our videos a few years ago!
Please keep doing what you’re doing
Looking forward to future videos 👍
Thank you so much! We really do love what we are doing
I'm living my dream through you guys haha!
Keep it up
Thank you so much!
Argentina is such a beautiful country! 🤘🏻
Truly ! There are more we want to explore !:)
wow how cool the video with subtitles, I'm learning english .. and very incredible. congratulations for the videos. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Looks exciting. 👍
Amazing!
Yay. been waiting for this.
Cant wait to share more!
Thanks for nice video
Thankfully I have some good content to watch here during lockdown in australia, thanks guys!!!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
@@DivertLiving My pleasure stay safe!
Love those restaurants where you can sit outside. Awesome video!
Us too, Thank you !:)
The classic high culture kind of cobbled walking street with bistros, small businesses of every sort, and buskers performing is lovely. I wish we still had that in the USA, but all that sort of traditionalism got destroyed by corporations. Those sort of high classy small businesses did incredibly good gourmet food and experiences which was once the common standard of living.
Argentina is fantastic country, try the Malbec (red wine) cheers Steve
We didnt try it :(
I’m so looking forward to your Brazil content!
Me too can't wait
Guys, really we are so excited to share our Brazil experience too. But after Argentina series though!:)
Yes so European looking! Have a great Easter weekend guys!
You as well!
Love you both so much!!!
Thank you so much!
Since you're in Argentina, if you happen to come to Córdoba, drop one of those hoodies.
I hope you 2 have a great experience in Argentina 👍
Thank you! They are available online with free world wide shipping :)
we miss you so so so much guys!
Miss you two as well!
So far, a beautiful city.
it really is !:)
love your vids! 😁
Thank you so much!
Always wanted to go there right after Colombia. Hope you had a great time
we have a blast ! Thank you ! Stay safe:)
Yeh, I remember being in BA and carrying the bag 4 flights because the elevator was so dicey. Somedays it worked somedays not so I got my sweat on the couple days I was there. Wow, I remember when the peso was tied to the u.s. dollar how times have changed.
So interesting! I hear that a lot of elevators are like that here!
It was artificially tied. It brought an economic crisis a couple of years later (2001 crisis)
The currency rate is now 160 pesos to 1 dollar
zhu creo te hås equivocado de ciudad-- me parese hablas de tu Pais - Yo navegante e conocidos Paises de TODOS los continente aparte de meternos x lugares no turistinfo e visto el infierno -- mejor cierra la boca ok
Nice travel bro
If you like the river, the coast and the city, go to Rosario (300km to Buenos Aires)! and if you need a guide in Rosario... tell me!
Love yall
I really Like you Two and I trust what you say to be Authentic and From Your Heart. Thank you for your Videos and Time Put Into. In these times it is HArd to find people to relate to who do not have an adgenda . You deserve all the Goodness you get out of This Channel. Love and Light
Thank you so much
12:45 they have those "Freddo" gelato places in Miami....super good.
I'm in love with your titles.
Thank you haha
The elevator was the highlight :)
i would say the same haha
Wowww argentina 🇦🇷 very good
Ver very good!
You shouldn't translate addresses. Each country has an order, and types of streets may be badly translated. For example, the streets in Spain when are names of famous people may have the name first and then the surname. In Argentina, you'll find first the surname. In London you have too many types of streets: lane, crescent, avenue, passage, street. And you may find them with the same name but in very different places.
Wifi in shops is usually free.
You should ask in your bank if they have a corresponding bank in Argentina. I know that Spanish tourists with accounts in Santander Bank, may use the Argentina's Santander ATM without charge. The same bank bought the private banking of Citibank, so it may also be free for the customers of Citibank in USA.
If you'd eaten one more plate of spaghetti, you couldn't get in the elevator! ! nice experiences ! a bit late but welcome to BA Argentina
hahahahha this is so true! Thank you so much!
everyone is commenting they did not like the elevator, there was stairs right next to it, only 4 floors...lets go! also were you complaining the meal cost $6.40 US ? that's hilarious you can not even get a Bigmac and fries in the USA for that price....and for that meal in an Italian restaurant in USA would be 20 dollars each or more!
It's an old world charm on a budget kind of place as long as gun men on motorcycles don't show up to rob you. I guess the stairs are really narrow and almost as steep as climbing vertically straight up a ladder for this is that compact classic European style of architecture. I will most certainly pass on a Big Mac and other corporate rubbish. For a nice restaurant serving good food and a couple glasses of fine whine, you'd be looking at $100 to $300 per person so it's only business executive oriented instead of people oriented. This is where a simple old house starts at $400,000. I wish every day the USA wasn't like it's become for I really wouldn't want to be a foreigner in another country despite how alienating the USA is becoming. Hopefully things don't get so bad the money, economics, and geopolitical causes the big WW3, 'accident,' to actually happen, but it's not looking good at all. In any case, affordable food and housing is fast becoming a thing of the past.
Hi Jimmy , Tah another nice video , haven't messaged for awhile but always watch your videos, take care , keep safe during this difficult time
Thank you so much!
Jimmy patience level is zen!
I was trying so so so hard haha
Divert Living you did well!
I think I would like Buenos Aries. Great vlog guys. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻
We really loved it!
I would have to make two trips in that elevator to get just ME up there!!
It was very small haha
Yes, we buy boiled sweets before a flight as I have big problems with pressure in my ears. I still end up getting my hearing back halfway to the terminal after landing!
Wow thats so interesting! I just yawn haha
Divert Living I’ve tried that and it only does a little bit.
Descent to land is sometimes like enduring a torture session involving piercing ear pain and screaming kids you can't even hear. With the horrible xenophobia and racism playing out all around the world today, I doubt if I ever get on one those again even when services reopen. The entire sinister ordeal fully global in scalel is far more complex than just simply being a virus shutting things down for a few weeks.
Thank you for taking us on your wonderful journeys. I’ve often heard that Argentina is the most expensive country in South America.
It is more than the other ones we have been to.
4:29 Yeesssss ! Your spanish is very good !
hahahahha
Great content as usual taking a big yawn immediately relieves ear pressure on the plane no need for any remedies.
Shhh that’s my excuse to have candies 🍭
great video! how many days were you in recoleta? would you like come to argentina again? thank you!
That kind of snafu is exactly my experience when I travel to new countries without doing my research!
Every travel has its own struggles. Glad you made it to your hotel quickly and also the elevator looks scary.
Quality content every time.
thank you so much !:)
👍🏻🇦🇷
next year i'll move on to Argentina , i Don't know if it is a good idea or not but i hope that everything will goes well and I'm planning to start a business there , like opening a shop or something like that
What kind of business? The economy is not that good now with all the covid situation.
No sé permiten extranjeros por Corona virus. Y tendrían que poner subtítulos en español
Next destination Maldives and Japan 👍👍
Ahh we really want to go to Japan so so bad!
That was funny, why not just show the address to the driver from the beginning?! hehe.
Because you need to put the address into the app :(
@@DivertLiving It's one of those inconvenient translate server errors encountered during international travels. Korea and especially China were funny and tricky 10 or more years ago where electronic translation didn't work and few people over there spoke any English.
Hay quá
The house took out the touristy feel..
Saludos de Brazil
ING is the best bank to be with i havent paid atm fees in 4 years of traveling not 1 cent
ha, we had that same elevator in Venice. still don't know how you are supposed to get in with a suitcase.
That's awesome, we come to love this kind of classic elevator though (as long as nobody forget to shut the elevator door) Stay safe in Venice !
Ignorante criticones ARG es una ciudad moderna y no existe tal elevator solo en algunos edifisios historicos a cerrar el pico --A y x casa como andamos --Salen ål mundo y se creen PROF
👍 🙏💪
Once this South America series is over I’ll decide where I’ll fly to next, post quarantine 😂
I know how you feel. I left my heart in the Philippines !
We cant wait to share the rest of it with you!
@@smilinazzdoggy825 I'm from the Philippines and I swear this country is becoming the worst place you can live here in Southeast Asia in all aspects.
Nice overview did you go to wine tours? Been looking how to receive text messages from USA while overseas is there any worldwide sim card that allows access
In order to receive SMS, you could buy a local sim card, or use yours ( but either way you're going to get charged by the telephone company). Usually when I travel abroad I buy a local sim card and use imessage or WhatsApp, that's always cheaper.
I really would like to visit Argentina but their is a little history between us and I don’t know how welcoming they would be towards the British . I’m sure it’s fine as I’m 49 so it’s an older generation thing I think . Looks beautiful and colourful 👍 loving the South American series guys. They do seem very nice people
They are super nice people
Hi, I'm from Buenos Aires, and i had a lot of friends from the UK who came here to visit and no one had a problem here. As long you are not using an union Jack flag as a Cape, I don't think you will have a problem 😂😂
Hola te comento yo embarcada Marina Scandi y un companiero Electricista de Liverpool cuando podriamos ir a Tierra juntos Tema MALVINA saliamos ål regreso los otros tripulantes nos gritaron estan er guerra y ustedes juntos a Johnny los paro y les dijo NOSOTROS no estamos en guerra somo amigos -- de Liverpool
Might be a little history for you. You better stay home or be respectful when you invite yourself to foreign countries.
2nd!
YAYYYYYYY!!!!:)
In Buenos Aires, 11:30 or 12:00 means 12:30
omg
Why didn't you just give the address in Spanish to the driver
Schwab is the best!!
It really is
Jimmy "almost" losing his patience
Held great composure.
"almost"😂
Very strange place financially. Peso drop against the dollar so huge over the years and makes it difficult to understand how the country manages considering oil/commodities are priced in dollars so causing imports to be very expensive, crazy expensive is more like it. Did you guys witness any currency/affordability issues of any sort which you haven't seen elsewhere?
Today the currency rate is 160 pesos to 1 dollar
Sorry I know you’re back home in the States, take care guys.
You as well
Divert Living in New Zealand
Buenos aires is for the blue skies and the good air 😅
It sure is beautiful there!
Buenos Aires looks like a European city but in South America, that elevator looks scary lol, great vlog guys.
It used to be called the Paris of South America, but today is corrupted out with poverty and high crime. There was a more colonial high culture high style era back when that building was built where the Americas was a big extension of European countries seeking the lands of opportunity.
It felt like it as well!
No entiendo de que acensor hablan de Baire todos modernos solo hay en algun edificio como parte de la historia y bien cuidados -- ok
That last scene with the windows tho....... Lol.
hahahhaha
Id like to order some clothing, is it free postage to Australia ?
Yes we cover worldwide shipping :)
Kjjjj terminó en Laferrer al principio
6.00 usd meal for one person or both?
Per person
Are yous still travelling or are these old videos
Old videos
Just like the elevators in Russia
That’s awesome! Russia is on our bucket list!:)
Those crazy "micro" elevators are insane
Watching from Brazil
Skelotin key.
Love it!
Isn't Argentina on lockdown as well?
Ryu Ken yes it is
@@P4ULK4LKBR3NN3R Damn, doesn't look like it.
This is old ... they already in their home ...
This is their backlog of videos they pre filmed :)
The lift is just like the one in athens
They can we scary!
Cliff Richard Exactly what we thought!
The directions there was not a translation mistake. You got hustled. More than likely by that “nice” guy at the airport. Your host sounds super shady as well. Shoulda taken public transit.
no motion
You guys are traveling? In the midst of a pandemic? Wow..
Absolutely not this was filmed 2.5 months ago :)
I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. You are acting like tourists so yes everything will be much more expensive if you live like a local you will find Buenos Aires Argentina is one of the least expensive international cities to live in the world 🌎. Also here is a tip if you can afford it bring cash and avoid the ATM 🏧 machines. And finally it seems to me you should of researched your trip to Buenos Aires a little better.
Why are you still travelling ??????????
We arent :) If you watched our previous videos you will see that this was filmed over 2.5 months ago :)
I seriously doubt there's a place on Earth today where you can go out to a sit down restaurant and go out to bar a beer and live music except in privately owned venues of the rich financial elite by exclusive invitation only. They sure changed up the game on a fully global scale and they'd be the only ones still traveling and doing anything while their propaganda machines in every country is telling everyone to just stay home and feel shamed and guilty, but that the governments are coming to our rescue with free money and services. The 99% are no longer allowed any more liberty than food shopping and essential work like food prep, cleaning, and retail sales which pays almost nothing. crazy, crazy, crazy...
Not gonna lie I would have snapped if that dude told me that candy was not in my diet and then proceeded to mansplane something I already knew.
I want to meet you once
Thax
Please meet once
What do you do to the world
My God! Go home and quarantine yourselves!!
Filmed beginning of March
thank you Spizz
That's reassuring! I should have seen it in the notes.😉
They love dollars in buenos aires. Locals hate the currency(ars peso). They just arent supposed to take it.
We love dollars because our currency is shitty and unsafe
Why would you translate an address?
Para mim um lugar nada interessante, não tenho vontade de ir uma outra vez.
I miss my Thai gf
