Student Blogs/Peter in Argentina
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Peter and I’m a third year BIB student majoring in Finance. I chose Spanish as my language of concentration and Buenos Aires, Argentina as my destination for the study abroad year.
To start off, living in Argentina is nothing like living in Canada. The differences in lifestyles, attitudes and cultural norms can be shocking at times for any foreigner. Living for just one week in Buenos Aires taught me many valuable lessons. I will list them below along with a quick explanation and my personal advice on how to avoid simple but costly mistakes.
A word of caution: don’t look at the figures I provided above as something concrete. Due to the high level of inflation and the continuing financial instability, the prices here will change very quickly.
Questions, comments and suggestions are more than welcome! If there is anything you want to know, comment below and I will try to respond as soon as I can.
Thank you for reading!
