Flag of Argentina  ,
Sunday, May 18, 2008

As we leave Argentina for the last time, I wanted to note down some of the idiosyncrasies of Argentina and Chile. So here goes: 

- The Argentinians love Ducle Con Leche and buy it by the tub
- Argentinians are the only people in the world who can make a mullet look fashionable
- When Argentinian men grow old and fat, they all end up looking like Maradonna
- In Argentina the Dandelion is considered a rare and exotic plant
- In both Argentina and Chile all the school girls wear mini-skirts even in Southern Patagonia in the cold
- In both Argentina and Chile they donīt eat vegtables with their meals, and on the rare occasion they do, they are served cold
- In Argentina and Chile there is no such thing as a plug (i.e. plug for the sink)
- Parts of the Chilean Lake Distrct look just like southern England
- In Chile every uses huge calculators, and I mean HUGE
- In Chile there is a saying that when a manīs wife is pregnant he will get toothache

So thats about it. Onto Bolivia.
