Hi Expats!
I´d be interested in hearing funny/ embarassing/ shocking stories of intercultural misunderstandings as expats in Argentina.
When you arrive to a new country, things seem easy at the beginning. But at some point, things can go slightly wrong. You have a hard time communicating with locals. Or you say a joke in in a meeting and unexpectedly, locals won´t laught at your joke. Or you have trouble with your boss at workplace and cant figure out why.
Any interesting stories you´d like to share? How did you figure out what the misunderstanding was? ...and how did you manage to solve it?
Your stories will help other expats be prepared for similar situations...
Look forward to your comments!
