¿De donde sos? We get asked in San Telmo

Something foreigners are asked all the time in Argentina is where they are from. For those unfamiliar, ‘¿De donde sos?’ incorporates the use of ‘vos’ for the second person singular (informal ‘you’) instead of the ‘tú’ utilized in most other countries. This is important to know while traveling in Argentina because visitors will be asked, ‘¿de donde sos vos?’ instead of ‘¿de donde eres tú? or ‘¿de donde es usted?’ .

Graffiti on the Streets of San Telmo

Graffiti artists paint the walls of San Telmo in broad daylight. In Buenos Aires graffiti artists are relatively at liberty to express themselves, and it’s hard to find an unpainted wall in the Argentine capital.

Laws against graffiti are virtually non-existent here. Current Mayor, Mauricio Macri is not a graffiti fan, but so far no efforts to squelch street artists have been undertaken.What do you think? Vandalism or art? Let us know on our youtube or facebook.
