What I learned in Argentina


- All sandwiches come with some form of meat and a fried egg. Man that´s addicting.

-Maté drinking is truly an art form. You can determine where a person is from and whether they like you or not by the way they take their maté.

-It is common to drink anything in a bottle with a straw. This includes water.

-Northern Argentina is a hidden gem of the world. I´d like to spend a good year here, with a car.

-Salta may have the best ice cream in the universe. Okay second to Italian gelato.

-It is not possible to see Buenos Aires in a couple days.

-It is not possible to walk Buenos Aires.

-Don´t ever expect to eat salad.

-Lines on the roads are just suggestions.

-Pedestrians do NOT have the right away.

-Tip the bag man.

-Wine is cheap and really good.

-Even if you speak spanish, you don´t necessarily speak Argentinian spanish.

-Couchsurfing is everywhere!
