Are Argentines Lazy?

[Uncle Wong]

I still get a kick out of @CraigM's post about his friend's Argentine girlfriend admitting that they are lazy and all the people in Argentina are lazy. That has been my perception as well in my trips back and forth. I'm not blaming them but it seems like compared to the USA, people here don't like to work at all. I saw @BuySellBA's post about this and it has some interesting comments but most agreeing that Argentines are very lazy.

What do you think?

Argentines are definitely lazy. Even the ones I know will admit they don't like to work. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.

Agree with you. I have lived in a few countries and never met so many people allergic to work. At least the girl admitted it @CraigM. Most of my friends also admit that they hate working.

Haha nope. If anything, Argentines are expert multitaskers: work all day, study at night, and still have energy to hang out with friends until 3 AM. Not lazy, just big on enjoying life when possible!

That is true! Each time I am in Buenos Aires with @earlyretirement we are out and about until almost 4 AM each night! It is crazy. We are only going to dinner sometimes at 11 AM or even midnight. Argentina is crazy. It takes me a while to adjust once I get back to the USA.
