- Argentine communication is expressive and direct; personal questions are often asked out of genuine curiosity. Public conversations can be loud and passionate. Greetings include cheek kissing in cities (especially between women and men) and handshakes for initial meetings between men. Social events have flexible timing, but punctuality is expected for business meetings. Sensitive topics include the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and politics, which should be approached with caution.
About this holiday
