    I agree and disagree. First don't use a debit card or a credit card. Pay for anything in cash if you can, use the blue market rate you will double your money 💰. Next use public transportation it is cheap and safe and efficient. You noticed he didn't mention any gun violence you don't have to worry about that in Buenos Aires. A personal tip use a money belt you can put your money, telephone or any important paperwork that you may need you will find Buenos Aires Argentina safe,clean a beautiful city. You will never get bored in Buenos Aires. And they have many many open green parks that are clean and safe and totally free to use and the people of Argentina use them day and night. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. Oh I forgot if you are coming from the United States use Western Union to send money 💰 to yourself and pick it up in Argentina you will get more than double the official exchange rate. And another thing that I discovered go to the Western Union office and pay directly in cash. Because you can send a 1000 dollars to yourself and pay only a 8 dollar fee, but if you use a debit card you pay a 54 dollar fee and a credit card you pay a 87 dollars fee.

    This is no different from being in NY, or any large city. I never had a problem in Buenos Aires, and I've visited the city several times. As a matter of fact, I'm going back in August. I have felt far more unsafe many times here in the U.S., than I have ever felt in Bs. As. One has to always be aware of one's surroundings, that's just common sense.

    Dude, wearing your backpack in front tags you as a person who doesnt know where he is going. Its easier to target you that way. Do that inside public transportation but walking on the street like that is just marking yourself as lamb down here.

    Cars do NOT have the right of way. Even by law. If you are crossing the street on a zebra pass and theres no traffic light the person walking has the right of pass. And i can asure you most of the time drivers will let pedestrians go first. The bag on the front he is over exaggerating. I mean he is walking through Palermo on the day, really no need at all for that. Many people do that when in the subway, train or bus when its full, but that's something you would do on any crowded city in the world. "People are trying to take what you have and re sell it" lmao dude nobody is trying to grab anything from you. 100% exaggerated video.

But in general even if they want to yield to me, I yield to them so that if theyre going to turn, they can do so faster than me, then I can just take my time.
