Argentina is the latest installment in our overseas adventures. We are both really enjoying living and working here and discovering all there is to Argentine life.

The Good

  • Beef – everything people rave about.
  • Beer – available everywhere, cheap and good.
  • Wine – available everywhere, cheap and even better than the beer.
  • Mountains – spectacular.
  • Rules – drive as fast as you like, sit in the back of the ute to go the pub, get as pissed as you like and drive like an idiot

The Bad

  • Driving – people drive like there’s no rules and they’re drunk
  • The footy – only place where you can’t buy beer
  • The humour – Argentine humour is centered around rootin’. Bit of toilet humour would go a long way.
  • Smog in Tucumán – cane burning season breaches world standards by about 20 times.
