[@danmur2797]

Eh. I think Argentine culture is interesting and part of the reason why I've wanted to visit Argentina. But Spain and Mexico also have had great artists, musicians/bands, etc. In fact some of my favorite are from those 2 countries. Argentina is sort of the 3rd leg. I do like some of their films and series absolutely. Unfortunately because their Spanish is less diffused than Spanish from Mexico and Spain, most Spanish speakers are not used to these (and their media presence globally hasn't traditionally been huge compared to Mexico and Spain). They gotta work on their distribution. In terms food, all subjective. I'm not a big meat eater, so I probably wouldn't find living there day to day very appealing. Mexico has a lot of the same foods Argentina has, just more diversity. One thing that is on point is when he mentioned older Argentines are very cosmopolitan and highly educated--like any first world country. A lot of it a legacy of its wealthy past and focus on universal education early on. That created an educated society on a par with any developed nation. Unfortunately its these you often see that have moved abroad. Brain drain is an issue. Wherever they go though, you usually find them in professional positions and settings.

[@MaxZagar]

Hi, What you explained is interesting, as we discussed this with a friend in Finland yesterday. People complain about salary, as they have a job that they more or less can not get fired from, they have paid vacation, they have paid sick leave. "What is the point of improving things, because I do not benefit from it", " I'm not going to study this thing because the employer might benefit from it, and I do not get paid for my time more ...". The thinking processes is upside down. You want to develop and do your job excellently, because you learn personally and increase your value. You become more independent and flexible. Do you think that I will give bonuses to people who do not actually want to grow personally ? If you are a street sweeper and your streets are the best in the city, even though it is a cheep area, do you think it will not be noticed ? The value of the area will grow, they know who did it, and an other area will also want to improve and get better. The money is a positive side effect. Take pride in your work. Finland is the tax champion in the world 56,5% tax, so yes it it is bugging me and others, that the state buys crappy fighter jets for 35 billion €, when the whole countries annual budget for education is 600 million. Or when they give away 8 billion € to southern Europe or 2 billion to foreign aid, or 10 billion to Greece, and pay for 100.000s migrants which cost billions. It is a disgrace that the politicians behave like this, but the fact is, I will develop my skills, network and freedom. It is a question of attitude.

Hello I think that you've left the country right when things were about to change dramatically for good... Didn't you see that people voted a libertarian present?

[@bhuvneshwarkumargupta9843]

Good video.

[@MrAmhara]

You are trolling for saying Argentina is the cultural powerhouse of the Spanish speaking world. lol

[@pablokaufervinent8012]

This is definitely subjective, but i dont think there is a cultural center in the Spanish speaking world now. Each country is doing its own thing. In the past , between 1910 and 1960/70 I think Argentina was indeed a cultural powerhouse for South America, less so for Mexico and Central America which had their own thing. But now for instance, Mexican modern culture is practically unknown here in Argentina.

Now that Milei is in office, have you changed any of your opinions?

[@NearShoreLiving]

Nope. Many influencers will make you think that this is a definite turning point but these people have not followed politics in LATAM. Guys like Milei come and go. I like Milei and even made a video about him a year ago or so because I am so impressed by him. But, the idea that a single man is going to fix what is centuries of systematic and cultural problems is a bit naive. Maybe he can be the start of something but you're looking at decades worth of time. I could be dead in 20 years lol

[@yaimavol]

@@NearShoreLiving That is true because, like Trump, he doesn't seem to have enough like-minded allies in the government. It only takes a few left-wing judges to over-rule what you are trying to do and say it's not legal etc.... to stand in your way. Look what happened to Bolsonaro in Brazil.

[@pablokaufervinent8012]

@@NearShoreLiving You are absolutely right this is not something that will change overnight, it will be a slow process with advances and retreats. The only thing i would say is that things are so bad they are bound to get a little better. If he is succesful this will probably last ten years or so, and then there will be a reckoning and see if the country has learned its lessons or not. The safe bet will be it willl not have learned but hope springs eternal.

This video blows my mind. Been here two weeks and so far they're in competition with the Philippines for the worst 2 countries for food on earth. I started going to the same restaurant every day because the quality of food at so many expensive places was SO BAD. Well, the 6th time was a charm. My regular reliable place gave me a dessert that had such a fowl stench to it I was scared to death I'm going to come down with food poisoning. Threw it away after 2 bites.

[@YoLo-sq8kq]

curious, do you find Argentians to be more honest and friendly compared to Colombians? I find Colombians to be cold and dishonest.

[@NearShoreLiving]

A lot of these cultures tend to be more indirect when speaking so if you're coming from the anglosphere or German/Russian etc. It can be frustrating when people say something and mean something else. I speak Spanish and I find it frustrating that I can't just tell people directly what I want to say hahah

[@yaimavol]

@@NearShoreLiving That is true. It is more of telling people what they think you want to hear rather than being openly dishonest

[@lorenzoc9880]

Colombians tend to be very fake (not necessarily that they mean it, it is cultural) everything is about appearance, they tend to be very "seemingly" friendly but they couldn't give two shits about you at the end of the day, a lot of interactions are just about getting something in return or just for chisme. Generalizing obviously, there are plenty of colombians that aren't like this but I would say a great majority are. You still find some of that in Argentina just like any latin american country but colombia is worse in my opinion.

Words have different meaning in different languages. In Spanish, sure. That would be the best word for it but not in English because there are different meanings to words. I can highlight many cases where Spanish speakers in Spanish use words that have different literal meanings than the meaning that is given to the by the culture.
