• Greetings typically involve cheek kissing among women or between men/women in big cities. Other regions usually require handshakes. Argentines may be highly expressive, direct, and conversational, and are known for using profanity. Be prepared for inquisitive personal questions, which are considered a sign of interest, not an interrogation. Punctuality is flexible for social events, but expected for business meetings. Avoid discussing politics, the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), or comparing Argentina to other regional countries.
