From one laid back culture to another…
In today’s busy world many people struggle to find time to relax, take a breath and enjoy the present moment. This is something Argentines have a particular knack for!
Argentines are proud of their laidback lifestyle, that includes an afternoon siesta in some provincial towns, family gatherings which go on for hours and hours, and dinners starting at 11pm. It’s true! It is not uncommon to see a restaurant empty at 9pm, but bustling with hungry diners from midnight onwards.
This easy-come, easy-go attitude may be irritating at first for us Westerners who live life by the watch and are used to buses running on time, but it quickly becomes infectious, as we too start to appreciate the more relaxed pace of life. Living in Argentina, you will soon begin to delight in sharing a drink of ‘mate’ with a friend and discussing the ways of the world.
It is difficult not to fall in love with the Argentines’ attitude. Their easy smiles, generous hospitality and lively nature make this a winning destination!
