Argentina

Welcome to Argentina!

So , the first few days in Argenitna have been a little bit of an opposite culture shock. I feel like I ma back in the developed world now.
The shock came rather quickly, on the first bus-ride into Cordoba.

WHAT? no garbage lining the roads?
WHAT? organized farming with Tractors?
WHAT? Seats on the toilets?
WHAT? No vendors hounding you at every turn?
WHAT? A taxi-meter?

All things that have changed drastically from my first 3 countries.

ANother shocker is he time frame here. Let me explain.
People here go out ridiculously late. In fact, you cannot even eat dinner here until after 9pm. Most restaurants will not serve dinner until that time. SO you eat dinner until 10 or 11, then go home and get ready to go out, start pre drinking, and then actually go out around 2am. That is correct folks, people go out after the bars back home would close. It makes for an evening that stretches to 6-7 am....kinda kills the next day but is super fun.


ANother difference here in Argentina is the accent. I was doing great in Bolivia with conversing in Spanish but this accent is goignt o take some getting used to . WOW they speakl fast. It is like the Newfie of South America. (sorry if any wonderful Newfoundlanders are reading this)


Cheers
