[By Wiki Travel]
Argentines are very engaging people who may ask very personal questions within minutes after first meeting someone. They will expect you to do the same. Failing to do so would signify lack of interest in the other person.
Don't be offended if someone calls you a "boludo". Even though it's a swear word, to Argentines it means "pal", or "mate". Argentinean people curse a lot when they talk, so if they are talking to you don't pay attention to the cursing. If Argentineans are mad, teasing you or making fun you, you will tell by the expression of their face or the tone of their voice.
Try not to compare "dulce de leche" disfavorably with anything else in the world, likewise for Argentinian meat; doing it will be considered somewhat insulting.
