Crossing the street
It´s amazing (or stupid) how I notice this stuff as I jump from country to country.
So if you remember, crossing the street in China was like performing a stunt and in Egypt it was like playing chicken with the cars. When I got to Spain it felt weird to cross unless the green man came up and said you could cross. I felt like an escaped convict if I crossed in the middle of the street by myself.
Well in BA, it´s like a mix of the 2. You can run across the street wherever if you want, but you´ll stand out. If you wait at the crosswalk for the green man to show up, you´ll feel like a oversecure loser. The way to go with the flow here is to get to the crosswalk, then start crossing when you feel the street is safe, no matter what the light says to do. So if it´s a one way and you don´t see cars coming from the one direction or they´re far enough away that they won´t hit you, then just cross the street.

Whatever the situation, simply, take all your caution for traffic accident. That is the most danger in any countries.
Just think, cars never give way to you.
you should put up your hand and stop the cars as you cross the street
