I spent a year there and loved it, I travelled around most of the North and the Centre, then spent 7 months living and working in Rosario.
About Maradona first :) There's just no equivalent here in Britain, maybe George Best is the closest (if there are any Brits reading this and want to know just how big Maradona is in Argentina!).
Regarding the Falklands, I was never, EVER, challenged on this subject once, it was only ever brought up when people wanted to know my opinion. Saying that it's obviously a much bigger issue in Argentina than in Britain, although some British can get bothered about it.
I thought that you Argentines were incredibly friendly, also very warm, sociable and genuinely interested in hearing about Europe. The food is really good, I love Italian food and beef too, but there isn't the variety that you get in Britain (in terms of having food from all over the world...China, India, etc.), and the wine was great, as is the beer! I don't know too much about the tango, but like listening to it...I can't dance!!
Finally...I have never been to a place where the women are so pretty! Especially in Rosario I must add!
I liked Argentina so much I almost stayed there for good, forever! I really miss it and I can't wait to go back!

In few words, Argentina for me is Buenos Aires, La Boca, Evita Person, Spanish with hard accent; Football is your game. Tango - you guys underestimate it as part of the culture while lots of people from the rest of the world are crazy about it. Farms, wine, steak - arguably the best.

First, let me just say that I would love to live in Argentina, and someday I will.... (I am American)

I know that the food of Argentina is delicious.
Buenos Aires is HUGE!
Bariloche has some of the best skiing in the world.
The women are BEAUTIFUL.
The men are horny.
The accent makes me want to learn spanish.
I know that the Argentine futbol team is better than the Brazilian one.
And I know that I am in love with an Argentine..

Argentina ROCKS!

I dont know very much about Argentina but here goes to the few things I either know or think!
1. You breed the most beautiful Falabella miniture horses, and your horsemanship is very good.
2. I dont think you like the Brits, so would never holiday there.
3. I think your have had some bad political leaders, and I remember lots of mothers parading outside somewhere with banners wondering what happened to their sons.
Having said all that, you sound like a very nice person!

Food there is awsome thats probably my fav part my favorites are azado and milanesa
Wines, i dont know what they taste like cuase im underaged, but i was born in mendoza (land of the wine) and las bodegas (winehouses) are beuatiful, my grandpa make that packeging for most of them so it's fun to go deliver the things because i get to go inside

I was in Argentina on board a Royal Naval Warship 2 years after the Falklands war which i was in from start to finish and the thing i remember most is how the corrupt police force would hold guns to the belly's of loads of our ship mates returning to the ship after a night out and robbing them of all there possessions.
It got so bad the UK consulate had to speak with your powers to be and bring it to a stop.

Mad Man

i know that there are a lots of italians and the finance crack and maradona stop

lala

that drinking mate is gross and spreads germs...

Maestro dei 5 Picchi

I know 1/4 of argentinian people are italians or have italian origins.
I do hope you hate Maradona because he's a loser.
Falklands?? who cares!

I saw Evita in London last year and was great,the best show in London at that time and the role of Eva was of an argentinian called Elena Roger, she was incredible!!

Marcos

First he argetnina is the beautifull country, maradona is the best player of the history, the falklands island are malvinas argentinas, the malvinas are argentinian!!!!!!!

Never been but will do one day, my thoughts are lots of football hooligansim, lots of italian descendants, a small welsh enclave somewhere near the mountains, home to a few nazi's, politically unstable, problems with the currency a couple of years ago, good ski-ing, er thats about it.
