Argentina, why:
1. ..do people sell socks on the public busses?
2. ..is there no iced coffee culture here?
3. ..do taxi drivers claim their arbitrary up-charges are in fact "law"?
4. ..is a bottle of water the same price as a full meal?
5. ..is it impossible to find a nice salty snack?
6. ..did you invent your own form of Spanish?
7. ..is it okay put an entire ham and cheese sandwich in the toaster? (delicious but seemingly dangerous? see below)
8. ..can all of your people dance so well? (this goes for Brazil too)
9. ..are your dogs so well-behaved? (saw a dog walk itself - leash in mouth)
10. ..do your busses insist on turning while I am crossing the street???
