The Argentines and my dad The Argentines are not well-deserved reputation of being first and foremost, boastful. And you asked surprised or puzzled: Is not well deserved? Yes, my opinion is not well deserved.
I had the opportunity of a trip by road from Tarija to Salta via Buenos Aires and Cordoba, where I started, aiming to Argentines. My strongest impression without differentiating between northern Argentina and Buenos Aires is that they are gentle, happy for a good conversation, good food, good play, work, taking care of their looks, loving, sensitive. Cute, no? Yes, I got a good impression of the Argentines.
And now in short and trying to say things in an orderly manner, there are four features which, in my opinion, the Argentines strongly identified:
1. An intention to kill any intention of acting like a bad citizen through a variety of signs that tell you how to do things, from useful ads as "Do not throw objects out of the gondola.
U others as "After using the toilet lid down" to ads with ability to see the future as "the food is only eaten at breakfast in the dining room. For if someone comes up with the hotel provisioned food the rest of the day. (Of course, this causes rebellion in me that after breakfast and take a picture of the ad, take an apple for later.)
Even in the case to announce a service that is supposed to represent an advantage for the customer to choose a particular store: "Free parking for customers around the corner" can not fail to mention "Only Bag or large purchases over 10 items "(read in a warehouse in Abasto). There will be no missing the living who wanted to get a free parking for the purchase of a gum or a gingerbread dulce de leche. But in a matter of signs, none more courageous and guidance that seen in the subway.
Cordoba
A friend explained to me that these ads were more frequent in the north and that this was the intention of matching the Indian population with the rest of Argentina's most Westernized. They are made for all citizens to behave the same way deal with social situations.
course, if ad, it is, I stay with it, but not very useful for dealing with civility between Buenos Aires, yes very talkative personality of the Argentine connected to the world with its own personality.
2. The second feature that is absolutely charming is the zest for life, a quest for lifelong beauty, hence the number of designers of all possible levels. Everywhere you look, no design, personality, appearance: a very vintage, ie, retro, old is what is sold on Calle San Telmo Defense and squander what's downtown neighborhoods, an alternative that is present not but only in Palermo Soho in central Cordoba. And of course a very European classic for the wealthy as ever, it is in the shops of leather or even at the airport of Ezeiza with a random sample of garment design class.
And what about food, how delicious is eaten in Argentina! Greasers but heavy and rich. worth mentioning that it takes a little orentación to find the best but not much, at any point are unique options except the bad smell any of this servant that with so many good offers, she went to find the only place in Buenos Aires where they sell the meat tough, the sauce too acidic, the pumpkin soufflé tasteless and slow and indifferent care. Without more, the Vintage Bar 588 Calle Defensa in San Telmo, no go.
The exception makes the rule. Everything in Argentina is good taste in design, in fact, taste for life.
3. It is said the Argentines when they love, really idolize. The paradigmatic example is the infinite love that you have but also avoids Maradona and Carlos Gardel, and Tinelli. That is a strong feature of the Argentines, really want, you tear the soul, are compromised.
The love and passion are always present when an Argentine in question, a sample is taken at this milonga Florida Street.
O with the same passion and a strong sense of justice, remember their missing both as a museum of dictatorship, that does not happen again that the bodies of thousands of Argentines have been dumped into the sea without possibility of peace for their souls or their loved ones. A fingerprint consists of the names of those who disappeared during the dictatorship.
4. And of course, they are also bullies, saying things like big, to talk shows to voice all 3 locals held until 2 am on Tucuman Street where my hotel in Buenos Aires and this announcement and publicized big for the whole world to know that there selling pizzas.
Conclusion: For 40 years my father lived in exile in Buenos Aires Falangist. This tour of some of Argentina has helped me know more now I understand why he likes so much pasta, cookies (especially large cakes), good food, good clothing material and stories where the hero is always him. And why we want (the family) as we want, with all his heart.
