When Argentineans talk, they can promise everything but that won’t mean that they will do it. Anyway in that non-stop conversation it is difficult to identify those “promise” words. One more thing is punctuality, it is not on the local list of priorities, and feel free to come 15-20 minutes later and even then you will probably wait more but this information does not touch business sphere here Argentines present themselves as punctual hard-workers that now what they want and do it well.

Argentineans love to party, they stay up and get up later then Europeans, they love to dance, it is believed to that every real Argentinean know how to dance the most passionate dance tango. Tango in Argentina is danced almost everywhere including bars, cafes, dance floors and even streets.

Their love to flavored food is connected with hot mate and red wine, Argentina food is a combination of European traditions and Latin unpredictability.
