- Argentinians are expressive and direct. Greetings often involve cheek kissing (starting with the right cheek) in urban areas. Be prepared for personal questions, which are generally asked out of curiosity. While profanity is common, it is usually not meant to offend. Punctuality is expected for business meetings, but social times can be flexible.
About this holiday
The May Revolution occurred in Buenos Aires (then the capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata) between May 18 and 25, 1810. This event resulted in the removal of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and the formation of the Primera Junta, the local government, on May 25.
