We occasionally hear of quaint differences in the way things are done in Buenos Aires, compared to what we’re accustomed to in the U.S. Here is an interesting one:
Julia (the youngest of the daughters) has been living in Buenos Aires for a year now, working for a translation company. She has been interviewing like crazy recently, looking for a better paying and challenging job. Suddenly, she was presented with an offer that she immediately accepted. Her next step was to follow this custom: She went to the post office and sent a telegram, giving her employer formal notice. I didn’t even know that you could still send a telegram!
