Argentina fun facts

1. Every other person smokes in Argentina
2. Argentinians don't understand the concept of vegetarianism
3. For every one Argentinian, there are seven cows
4. Argentinians have very low tolerance for cold weather, it was 20C and they were all bundled up like Eskimos, especially our tour guide, Jose
5. The McDonalds fries here taste the same as in the US, but they also provide mayonnaise as well as ketchup to dip
6. Matte is very popular here, lots of people walking around with their cups and straws sipping on matte
7. 3million people live in Buenos Aires
8. Buenos Aires is considered the noisiest city in the world- I can't believe that, next to Paris and London?!
9. At interceptions that don't have stop signs or right of way indicated, it a free for all
10. Traffic and congestion in Buenos Aires is comparable to London
11. In Buenos Aires, it is illegal for women to prostitute, however not so for transvestites
12. Buenos Aries is a city that lives at night, things start kicking off around 1am
13. Almost every tv screen at Buenos Aires airport had highlights of the football on (see pic)-- nine screens with football, my brothers heaven!
14. Only airport through all my travels have I encountered a windows error appear on the departure terminal screen- ouch Gates! I knew there was a reason I hated Microsoft! This classic error requires the application to be terminated and restarted - all I wanted to know was my gate number. Sigh.
