- Argentines can be direct and inquisitive in conversation, and answering personal questions when asked is customary. Greetings often involve cheek kissing in cities, though handshakes are common among men. Travelers should be mindful of sensitive topics like domestic politics, the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), and comparing Argentina to neighboring countries. Regarding time, social engagements may be flexible with lateness being common, but business meetings require punctuality. When dining, beef is highly valued; traditional accompaniments are preferred over ketchup.
