Argentina

Respeto y modales

• Argentines greet with a kiss on the cheek, even men among friends.
• Dinner is late: restaurants fill up after 9 or 10 pm.
• Tipping: about 10% in restaurants, in cash if possible.
• Exchange rules change often: check the current best way to pay (card or cash) before you go.
• Share mate if you are offered: it is a sign of friendship. Don't say "thank you" until you want to stop.
• The Falklands/Malvinas are a sensitive topic.
