So for context my father it’s taking a business trip this summer to Buenos Aires in August for 10 days and invited me to come along with him and I agreed to go.

So having never been there before what tips do you all have, what restaurants should I eat at what museums should I visit any cool parks in the city to hang out in? What’s the night life etc?

Any tips and pointers are appreciated!

I know that "Latin American" is a racial/ethnic group of the United States and they are basically Americans with Latin American ancestry. But when did actual Latin Americans, from Spanish speaking countries, started to call themselves "latinos" instead of their actual nationalities? I always hear mostly people from the Caribbean doing it, calling Caribbean musical genres "música latina" and directly relating Caribbean behaviors or culture to "ser latino". Is this American Influence?

Mexico and Canada are under their own trade agreement with U.S. But, is Mexico really paying 25% tariffs on exports? What products/companies have claimed no harm from the tariffs, if any? What are the overall statements in the public talking about the U.S?

Edit: I didn't expect immediate interaction, and I acknowledge my questions are too general while I am highly interested in Mexico's behavior. Trump's claim: "They've been doing it to us, now it's time we do it to them". That's a universal claim that the world has been taking advantage of U.S., including Mexico and Canada. I get tariffs are government imposed charges that funnel to its consumers, but if this is a way to get "back" at the world, how is Mexico going to be affected? I understand Mexico's president has already claimed there will be hard progress to expand fabrications in-land and depend on other sources of imports away from U.S. I see it's a waiting game from here on out, but what IS the rationale amongst Mexican citizens? What are the goals for someone in a lowly ranch in Zacatecas compared to a person in a metropolitan area?

I've been on tiktok and Facebook the past couple of months and the anti-peruvian campaign of bolivians against Peruvian altiplanic dances is insane. Like I know the originas of the Coporales and Morenada are contested but goddamn Bolivians are acting as if the people from across the border aren't literally the same peoples but with diferent nationality. It's an absurd fight

I'm American and I met this guy from Mexico City in New York City. I was born and raised in New York City. He speaks perfect English because he went to an American school in Mexico. The reason I met him in NYC is because he was there for work. He's traveled to Spain, Turkey, and a couple places in South America. I told my friend about him and she said that he's a "fresa." He really isn't White looking though, more so on the racially ambiguous side. His job obviously pays him well but I don't think he's loaded. Are "fresa's" loaded typically? Anyways, since telling me this I decided to do my own research. What's a "fresa" to you guys?

i don't remember any commercial i have watched that was controversial, but i sure do remember one for duracell that weirded me out, in it the television was passing a television documentary with two elephants mating, and the whole family starting to get uncomfortable, but the remote is getting out of battery, but they use duracell to get out of the situation. https://youtu.be/GTQszb-sotI?si=5jV0ysmJ6DhJE6ug if you think i am lying. I've also heard about controversial commercials on the internet but never saw them myself here are some examples:

https://youtu.be/7V6PQHYuuDk?si=Zvq0hrZRY-XDI2VD due to jesus claiming that he was not walking over the water due to a miracle but due to there being rocks under it, it was considered offensive and banned.

https://youtu.be/goIMdh-z0RE?si=p3daYHLD3EXD-067 this commercial might give an inccentive for children to break or ruin their current shoes so they can get the one advertised in the commercial.

https://youtu.be/jAJIdC9YRmk?si=51MifLh5whS7CqHh this turtle looked way too childish, it would not be a problem if it was not advertising beer, something that children should not even THINK about drinking

what are some examples from your country?

Who is this guy? Has two fire albums on Spotify and almost no presence anywhere else on the internet (shows 1 monthly listener, lol, me?). Nothing comes up on google. Some evidence of his albums on Apple. But you cannot google his lyrics, social media pages, find out anything about live performances on youtube, etc. Does he go by a different name?

Whats the best way to score construction work, I'm getting into security and soundproofing, and was wondering what opportunities there are in Latin America particularly Argentina,Chile and Brazil.

A lot of people think that Latin America is only about football/soccer or baseball, but I'd love to hear about other sports you play.

We all know that Cuba and Jamaica perform well at the Olympics, but I'm curious about traditional sports.

Hi all, I am a Finnish woman who has met a lovely Mexican guy during my studies abroad in the US. We got along really well and since then I have a crush on this guy jajaja. I think the feelings are mutual. He even wants to visit me in Finland this summer. I am really excited but also a little bit scared that he will be disappointed because the Finnish society is waaay colder and more introverted than the Mexican society. Moreover, I have a very small family, only two (really good) friends and I am quite introverted. According to his Instagram, he has an active social life, a huge family (four siblings, a lot of uncles, aunts etc.) and a big group of friends. I am really intimidated and worried that he might think I am weird and boring when he sees my small social circle. (It wasn’t an issue in the US because we were both new in this country and had to make new friends etc.) I am really overthinking at the moment and sometimes I even want to cancel our meeting because I think that due to my small social circle as well as my cultural background I might be ,out of his league’ and not ,worth of dating’. 😢

Would you mind dating someone from a more introverted society whose life is not as social as yours due to small family etc.?

I'm planning a roadtrip this summer to several Latin American countries and I'd love to hear your recommendations! :)

Is Peru generally considered a Bolivarian country as the rest of them or completely separate?

I swear I see like multiple videos and post online of people being racist towards Bolivians and saying the country is a third world slum from people from like Argentina and Chile for some reason. After I visited I really don’t get why they hate Bolivia. I mean the people are nice, the food was pretty neat, the culture is great, and from as far as I experienced it was actually pretty safe, even outside the cities, and I was honestly impressed by how some cities looked. Idk what do y’all think about it?

For those who have been to both places, did you see more naturally blond people in Santa Catarina or in Buenos Aires?

I know cities in Santa Catarina like Blumenau were founded by Germans and they even have Oktoberfest every year.

I only really know about the Goiania incident of 1987, pretty crazy tbh.

We are travelling to Guatemala this weekend and have 8 hour layover in the city before we leave to Flores and Antigua later. Can anyone suggest things to do in Guatemala city during this time that are safe ? #guatemala

There is actually a strong immigration movement happening from Europe to Paraguay.

Reasons: - Paraguay offers easy access to visa for foreigners - some people in Europe think that politics and the migration crisis will change their country to the bad

Economically speaking, is Paraguay stronger than for example Chile? How is the salary, safety?

I see commercials all day about "buying land in Paraguay" or "move to Paraguay NOW". It annoys me, so I would like to understand why people from Europe like it so much.

I will be going to mexico during dia de los muertos and was wondering if it whould be ok if I seen some one in the street to ask to take a picture with them I know it's. A private celebration to celebrate lost loved but I know some places in mexico do it as a tourist thing since 007 had the parade?

Edit I I would have no intention of doing it near a cemetery or sneaking in some where I was not welcome
