My bad experience at language exchange meeting (part 1)
I had read a man who said he had gone to one by diary from here. So, I searched on Facebook for "language exchange meetings" in my city, and I found an only one event which there was that kind of meetings.
That meeting, was formed by a people group. They used to organize meetings so often. Then, when I went there, I knew they did those meetings once in a month. The group was called "MDQ exchange". MDQ, is my city, Mar del Plata, in Argentina. Every event had a topic from a place in the world, which were voted for people. This time, topic was Mexico and there was a trivia. Those meetings was organized in a bar, which had 2 floors.
On ground floor, there was an ordinary bar, instead on first floor there was the language exchange. On ground floor there was, besides, games.
At the entrance of the place you had to pay a contribution bonus of $50AR and then you had to say country that you came from and the language that you wanted to learn. In some cases, you could choose between various flags, depending of the country that you wanted to learn, or somehow, focus your language in. I was with my grandad who wanted to improve his French and I wanted to improve my English.
The big problem was that when I arrived to the place. There was a lot of people from my country, but nobody (at least at my knowledge) who was from other country, except a Germany woman, who I didn't see, but my grandad did had seen that.
We were late and that's why everybody (or at least the most) had eaten. I didn't find anybody who gave me to eat, I mean, a waitress, and I wasn't encouraged to ask for food to anything. I couldn't eat anything and then my grandad had to asked a pizza and a Coca-Cola at final of the event.

My Bad Experience at The Language Exchange Meeting (part 1)
I've seen a man saying he was attending a language exchange meetings in his diary on here, so I searched Facebook for "language exchange meetings" in my city and I found only one event of that sort.
That meeting was formed by a group of people, who used to organize meetings often. When I went there, I knew they had those meetings once a month. The group is called "MDQ exchange". MDQ is my city, Mar del Plata, in Argentina. Every event had a topic on places around the world, which were voted by people. This time, the topic was Mexico and there was a trivia. Those meetings were organized in a bar, which has 2 floors.On the ground floor, there was a bar and on the first floor, there was the language exchange meeting.
At the bar entrance, you had to pay a fee of $50AR and then you had to say what country you were from and the language that you wanted to learn. In some cases, you could choose between various flags, depending on the country or the language that you wanted to learn about. I was with my grandad who wanted to improve his French. I wanted to improve my English.
The big problem was, that when I arrived to the place, there was a lot of people from my country, but nobody (at least to my knowledge) from another country, except a German woman, who I didn't see, but my grandad did.
We were late and that's why everybody (or at least the most) had already eaten. I didn't find anybody who would give me food. The waitress was idle and I wasn't encouraged to place an order. I couldn't eat anything, so my grandad had to ask for a pizza and a Coca-Cola after the event.Check out the second part of this text. I'll leave the link in the comments below.
