What do Argentines think of Americans? And making friends as a foreigner in Argentina

Hello everyone!
In this video, I will be going around different areas of Buenos Aires asking people a couple of questions about their opinion of Americans and The US in general, for anyone who might be feeling a bit intimidated to come and visit Argentina for fear of being discriminated or things like that.
I also talk about what many people may be wondering when they decide to travel for a short time or spend a few months living in a different country from their own: How do you make friends as a foreigner? Which is honestly something that even I struggle with till this day even though I am fortunate enough to have awesome friends.
I'm really glad because I got to talk to people from a few different backgrounds, whether they had been born in Buenos Aires or moved to the city from other provinces or even a lovely Russian couple who decided to make Argentina their home.
Overall, I am very excited about this one as I tried my best to get out of my comfort zone and give you something a little bit different from the content that you usually see from me and I hope you like it!
I hope you it helps if you're thinking about possibly coming to Buenos Aires.
As always I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below and as always thank you for the support!

    Hi, Sabrina! Another great street interview video. You are right that there's just something about Buenos Aires that makes it special--honestly, I think it's the people--they're so social, talkative, the architecture...just everything about it comes together to give it a unique vibe. Making deep friendships when you move to a new place is challenging, and I don't think it's necessarily a Buenos Aires issue that it's hard to make deep friendships with locals who've lived there their entire lives. I have seen that here in the United States as well. If you are new, you will probably be friends mostly with other new people, lol. I think that if you really want to meet people, you can't just sit in your apartment: you need to get out and do things, like one of the interviewers said. Doing that is hard anywhere, but I think it would be harder here in the US than in Argentina since people are less social and so busy with their own lives. Thanks for another great video!

    Guuuuurl! You hit the right spot on the friendship conundrum. And the older you get, the harder it gets. Does anybody know a place where you can go and interact with people in English in Buenos Aires?

    I think it's easier to make friends here when you are in group related activities. Like in university, those people who struggles with you even if you meet them only in one class can be one of your best friends. Of course, of a group you might get one really best friend and the rest Will be just friends, not superficial nor deep friendship, but in the middle. As a porteña, I love my city ❤️

    I think the problem of living in those fantastics cities is that Smaller Cities lack infrastructures. OK, It's amazing to spend time there on vacation an example: you cannot find a simple good internet service. this was another good interview . thx :)

    I do think you are right, the options for some service providers in smaller cities are very very limited and that is quite the disadvantage. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

    We are interested in Argentina for retirement and doing research we think we may like- BA, Ushuaia, Bariloche, Mendoza, Cordoba, or Salta. It looks as though BA would by far be the most expensive, right ? Thx

    ​​@@sabrinahuykeNow whether this is true or not? ,but i've heard people say,that those from the Capitol are pretty ' Stuck up'on themselves?( But u often hear this about many people who are from a countries Capital,but this was said by a Argentine,who was from Cordoba ) But yrs back, i did work in a Hostel in Vegas ( US) and met quite a few People from Argentina,& they did seem a little reserved& cool! ( As opposed to Brazilians) But i'm curious,what is there perception of the Brits? They've had quite a contentious relationship throughout the yrs( Do they still care about the ' La Malvinas'?) or is that something which is exaggerated by the MSM! But ur interviews were fair & balanced,(not full of ' Soundbite BS) And i'm no Meat eater,but have heard their Beef is the best!

    ​@@jerryoshea3116 Argentines do not call or perceive people as British, they divide them between Welsh, Irish, Scottish and English. The only people who Argentinians find rude are the English people and they think that the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh are friendlier. If you are English and you go to Argentina: 1 Don't talk about or call Falkland 82 war/conflict (you'll find monuments about it all over the country, literally all over the country, so avoid that point, it's like you're talking to some Spaniards about Gibraltar). 2 NEVER ask or talk about Lady Diana's accident (just look at how many memes they made about Queen Elizabeth's death). 3 Never, NEVER talk about any war conflict in the world or politics (it's as if everyone can talk about it except the English or the Americans because they will probably talk to you about one of the thousands of territorial conflicts in which England or the United States were involved). 4 Take a look at how the term Americans or Americanos is used because they use that word to identify people who live across the continent, so if you refer to people from the US as Americans in Spanish (now you probably understand why I wrote the term that way) they probably hate you. 5 Points 1, 3, and 4 could apply to people from the US in similar contexts. Finally, my summary is that they are kind people but don't remind them why they hate England, they are people who try to separate what people and governments are because for Argentines they aren`t the same.

    @@jerryoshea3116 Yes, maybe you're right (at least that people who have that mindset, they could come from everywhere), but if you follow the advice I wrote, you'll be fine. I think it's not a big problem, for example in Buenos Aires, but in some provinces some people can judge you to see if you fit in the "English stereotype" or not (as if you were a cocky person who thinks you can do whatever you want without consequences or something like that; they just evaluate the hooligan side even applied for politic or war).Even some they feel invaded if you are rude. Well, so you asked, I answered, just don't take it personally just think that some English people went to Argentina and had a good time cause people is kind. Just avoid political topics, be neutral and enjoy life. Oh, I almost forgot to NEVER mention anything about Margaret Thacher.
