2 worlds, side by side

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

 

Just got to Argentina yesterday and wow!! You cross a border and it´s not just the time that changes. I feel like i´ve jumped a few decades. Coming from a country where teeth are a fashion statement to a country where not only do they have supermarkets, with a whole toothpaste aisle even, but if I wanted to, I could probably buy nail polish to match my backpack. Culture shock or what?! You can get things here. It´s like being in North America, only people are speaking a different language. There´s something to be said about countries that have more than one kind of cheese and it doesn´t all come from goats. And the wine is still less than a dollar a litre. Best of all worlds here.  South America kicks ass!
