ARGENTINA | Tuesday, 29 April 2008 | Views [199]

It´s difficult to sum up a country that you spend less than 3 weeks in, but following is probably the best and most eloquent-like summary yousell ever see.

Bottom five:

5. The waitresses never smile. Never.

4. Their fascination with meat. GET OVER IT!!

3. The plethora of taxi drivers refusing heavy-luggaged gringos.

2. The lack of the concept ´queue´ and others before you in aforementioned concept.

1. The Argentinean ability to smoke anywhere, anytime. Just gross.

Top five

5. Corner stores selling chocolate EVERYWHERE.

4. The ubiquity of trees.

3. The completely awesome vegetarian buffet places they had (helps make up for overindulgence of meat)

2. Mendoza - gorgeous.

1. Iguaza falls. Just stunning.

That´s about it folks. Will update for Santiago soon.
