    DNI vs Cédula

    I understand the Cédula is no longer being made. It was a separate ID with a different number, for police use mainly, and valid as passport in neighboring countries only. The DNI number was on it as well. I'd go back and clarify the whole thing.

    How do Argentines refer to their DNI cards?

    "De-eneí" or "deneí". When asked, "documento" or "número de documento" are probably more common. "Documento" stands for DNI and its earlier versions "Libreta Cívica" (women) and "Libreta de Enrolamiento" (men) many elder locals still carry. You don't have to be specific unless asked (normally...

    Towns in Argentina Where I will be the only Foreigner?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I've been to MDP three times this year alone and haven't seen foreigners, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. It's a big city.

    Best Thing about this Culture?

    But... what if it's the other way around? "Amablemente" (Tango) La encontró en el bulín y en otros brazos... Sin embargo, canchero y sin cabrearse, le dijo al gavilán: "Puede rajarse; el hombre no es culpable en estos casos." Y al encontarse solo con la mina, pidió las zapatillas y ya...

    Expat Names that sound strange to Argentines

    People... unless you're being mocked like the OP, nothing wrong if you don't get you're names pronounced perfectly well. Especially vowels. We don't have mixed vowel sounds. Someone mentioned Facundo... I met a Facundo in college, in the US. He was an Argentine, too. Faekiundou was just about as...

    Best Thing about this Culture?

    Not all of us accept infidelity. I take my fidelity to prostitutes very seriously. I can be tolerant, though.
