I'll be visiting Buenos Aires sometime between August and October. Is this a good time (weather-wise) and what weird shit should I look out for (good and bad)?

Also Amerifag, will I be accepted or shunned?

Its Argentina, fuckface, its almost exactly like Europe down there.

From what I know, Argies are all white people, and if your comfortable dressing kinda like a soccer player, you'll fit in with everyone. You won't even stand out untill you open your mouth. Even if you speak spanish your amerifag/mexican-picante' style spanish dialect will give you away. They don't even use the same words for shit over there and they will look at you like you got a dick growing out of your forehead if you misuse a word not in common use there.

If they speak english, which alot will, they will want to argue politics, but will otherwise be friendly. It helps to just say your from Canada, and you will avoid any 2 hour discussions with drunken foriegners about Iraq or how much Bush is an idoit.

Some of them, espeically the younger college students will be really excitied about politics.

If your worried about people talking shit or whatever, just say your from Canada, none of them could tell the difference. Just make up some shit. I always said I was from Yukon province, Yellow Knife. Nobody knows where that shit is, so they believe you.

And yeah, Patagonia is awesome in the fall, its a nice country with nice people.

Pretty much this- you'll be fine as long as you make a casual joke about how stupid Bush is, and virtually everyone here speaks some degree of english.
As for bad shit... be careful where you shop. Some shops have different prices for foreigners and locals, since trying to be a smartass is the argentinian way of life, heh. Also, the crime rates are.... er, just don't look like a stupid tourist.

And anyway, post again once you get here, I'm from Buenos Aires myself and I could try to guide you around or something!

Yeah, pretty much the universal survivial trick to anyplace you ever visit, in which you are foriegn is, you juts put on an air that "I belong here, get the fuck out of my way" even if your hella lost and totally don't belong there. If you take that persona of a hard-ass local, most people glancing at you will buy your bluff and not fuck with you, if you look like you know where your going (a brisk pace walking, eyes fixed forward, with a scowl on your face) and react with a sense of humor if people confront you or "interact" with you.

Yes do that and you'll be fine, and don't say you are from USA, say Canada and talk very bad about USA and say shit like 9/11 was a conspiracy by the CIA.

Why does everyone think its bad to say you're from america. I have yet to have any problems. I just tell people up front to shut the fuck up if they start trying to talk politics.

Or maybe it's because I don't walk up to foreigners and criticize the social and political status of their country unprovoked just to vent my anger towards said country. Seriously, not every traveling American is a fucking ambassador to the Bush White House and we usually don't give a shit what you think.

Eurofags. God.
You have beautiful countries, and Amerikkkans by vast numbers respect and even secretly envy you. There's a reason why the smallest accent will get you +10 points with any American woman, regardless.

The only country that Americans genuinely hate on is France, but that doesn't sound too different from most of the Eurofags I know. Whenever this conflict starts, I can't help but compare Europeans to that one kid that we all knew who would join everyone else in making fun of someone, but only did it coz they thought their neighbors would think they're cool, but everyone still thought THEY, too, were retarded.


TL;DR Europeans are acting like the people who most likely did the same thing to them in youth-education.

buenos aires is cool. i dont think u need to pretend to be canadian . yes they dislike bush like in any other southamerican country but they wont mistreat you just because you're american. you better say IM FROM UNITED STATES instead of IM AMERICAN though. "IM AMERICAN" sounds arrogant and self-centered since we're all in the american continent, we're all americans as well "_"

there are 2 famous avenues that you may visit, FLORIDA and LAVALLE. both is full of people trying to take some of your money. dont be friendly with people offering you stuffs or trying to stop you to tell you 'hey you should come to my store blablablabla', just ignore them.

IT is cold and rainny in august, when i say cold i mean 10-20 celsius (idk about farenheit), if u live in alaska that may be pretty hot to you.

if u have any questions just ask, i'm not from argentina but i know their country very well

The problem with you is that if you see your president is declaring war for some oil don't just sit on your ass and get mad on 4chan, move your ass and go in front of the white house with lots of people and do that for about a week and done. Every country has strikes, gues why? because theyre more efficient than blaming bush on the internet. The rest of the world can't go there and do it for you, you must do something. Untill that happens expect to be hated all around the world.

No. "American" generally refers to a citizen of the United States of America. Pretending otherwise isn't going to change it.

Argentine guy here.

August and October is a great time, it's the beginning of our spring. You might catch some cold climate, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The climate of Buenos Aires is similar to cities like Houston or Sydney.

Needless to say, nobody gives a shit if you are American, Swedish, Canadian or from the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. In fact you'll be able to pass as one of us with no effort. Language is not a problem either as most people here speak some English since it's taught at schools.

What else to say? Buy a lot of leather and eat a lot of beef, since we have the best cows in the world, enjoy the nightlife because it's absolutely awesome, and visit Lavalle and Florida streets as well as Plaza de Mayo for the typical touristy spots.

Always the same stupid argument, eh?
See my pic.

In Spanish, French and other languages, we use a different continental model than the one used by English speakers. According to our model, "America" is one single continent from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
Also, nobody cares.

Y la junta militar de Videla entreno las guerrillas terroristas de los contras en Nicaragua y ningun argentino hizo nada al respecto. Videla murio pacificamente bajo un comodo arresto domiciliario sin que a nadie le importe un carajo. Es muy facil ver los errores del otro pero nunca los propios.

Ningun Argentino hiso nada al rspecto? teolvidas de los 30.000 desaparecidos por oponerse al regimen de Videla. Y tambien te olvidas que a dictadura fue apoyada para que tome el poder por Estados Unidos, para evitar el avance del comunismo en America Del Sur. O crees que de casualidad la junta militar era ultra derechista, al igual que las demas de america latina? Y la junta ilitar era una Dictadura con Represion, no podes compararla con Bush.

Hubo leyes de obediencia debida y punto final o no?
Se perdonó a los militares o no?

Por los doce años que estuvieron Menem y De La Rua, a alguien le importó? No lo votamos a Menem dos veces, sabiendo que no le importaba juzgar a los militares? Hizo falta una crisis, que caiga el gobierno de De La Rua, y que Baltazar Garzon empezara a pedir la extradicion de nuestros propios militares desde España para que el sistema judicial argentino se pusiera las pilas.

Asi que no me vengas con pelotudeses. Todos los pueblos del mundo cometen errores... es idiota prejuzgar a alguien solo porque nació en otro pais.
Hay que juzgar a la gente como individuos, no segun su nacionalidad.

Ademas, Bush tiene menos del 20% de aprobacion. La mayoria de los yanquis lo odia.
