Habits and customs in Argentina

Habits and customs in Argentina

• Tango is not just a dance to me. The tango is sensitive and it is based on improvisation. When going to tango events, I always wish to be more feminine in life. Dancing through life with high heels and a nice dress. In Buenos Aires they dance on the streets, like it is common to dance the salsa in Cuba on the streets. Can’t wait to join!
• Asado - An Argentinan habit is to eat a lot of meat. Asado is a way of preparing, barbecue style.
• Clap your hands, when you like to enter a house, most of the time there is no doorbell and even when there is, still clap.
