Well, I have officially begun a blog about 3 months too late! In August I came to Argentina to study abroad at La Universidad de Palermo. During my months here, I have had the wonderful opportunity to not only learn the language, but observe the many cultural differences between the northern and southern hemisphere. For whatever reason, cultural differences interest me greatly, and I hope to spend the rest of my life learning about them!
As usual, I have a myriad of ideas as to what the theme of this blog could be, but for now have settled on recounting the aforementioned cultural differences I have observed during my time here. Maybe I'll throw in some advertising observations as well!
1. Argentinians do not cross their arms as much. Not sure why.
2. The service at restaurants is decidedly WORSE. But, the explanation is that time is different in Argentina. You can order a cafe con leche, sit for hours, and nobody will bother you! See, everything has a positive and negative side!
3. Rubbing upwards on your neck means "I don't know," NOT "fuck you." :)
More to come later!
My Life
- megvic
- Buenos Aires, Recoleta, Argentina
- I am a 4th year American college student at The University of Georgia. My majors are advertising and romance languages. "Romance languages" means that I have elected to study 2 languages (Spanish and French) out of the romance languages offered. I work at The Home Depot as a lead generator, in the flooring department, cashier, phone operator...basically whatever they ask me to do! One interesting thing about me is that I do belly dance. It all began my freshman year of college when I made a promise to myself that I would try 1 new physical activity each semester...just for kicks! I picked the most random thing I could find, and ended up sticking to it for 3 years.
