So my time is wrapping up down here in Argentina, and I must say there are things that I will miss a lot.
1. Milka Chocolate. It is a GERMAN brand of chocolate like Hershey's, except 100x better than Hershey's chocolate (which they don't even have down here). I find myself buying a chocolate bar almost everyday.
2. THE BEEF. I mean it is Argentina. I don't even need to put a picture... look at my entry from Uruguay.
3. Facturas! These amazing little pastries usually filled with dulce de leche and powdered sugar. They're addicting.
4. Dulce de Leche.
5. Empanadas. These fun filled bread pockets have been one too many meals for me down here. And I still love them.
6. Choripan. Chorizo between some french bread. Simple, easy, cheap, and delicious.
7. The Political atmosphere, I love how EVERYONE has an opinion, and how people are constantly standing up for their rights and beliefs (even if I don't agree with all of them). They definately exercise their right to protest here, and they always speak their mind.
8. The Night Life. I'm not one to go out and party much, however the night life here is incredible. You can find anytype of bar or club that is playing any type of music, and they're all open until 6 am.
9. The Cafe Culture.
10. The lack of political correctness. The US idea of avoiding specific vocabulary or expressing certain points of views as to not offend somebody doesn't really exist as much here. In other words, Argentines will tell you like it is, and not make any excuses for it.
11. The cheap and pretty efficient public transportation. Roughly 30 cents to ride the bus or the Subte (Underground, subway, metro etc..)
12. The way to greet people (which might get me in trouble in the US now that I'm used to it here). Here people greet eachother, no matter who you are, even if its the first time you meet, with a kiss on the cheek. Even two guys. I think this is a much more personal way to greet someone, its friendlier. Sometimes in the US we just stand there and say hi, and its so disconnected and impersonal.
13. The traveling. This country is HUGE (in fact the largest in terms of geographic size in the Spanish speaking world). It has such a variety of landscapes and things to see with in its borders. Tropical jungles, deserts, snow capped mountains, beaches and ocean coast lines, and even graciers,
14. The Amazing people I've met from all over the world, Argentina, and different parts of the US and that I am now able to call friends!
I will miss Argentina, very much so.
