Peculiarities of the country

1. Argentinians don’t take off their shoes when they come home. Lying on the sofa or on the bed with shoes on is a usual thing here, although not all streets in Argentina cities are clean.

2. When an Argentinian turns a finger to his temple during a conversation, it means that he is thinking over the interlocutor’s words, rather than questioning his mental health. 

3. Argentina does not deport anyone, even those who violate visa regulations and stay in the country illegally. There is simply no deportation law.
