argentine women are very sexy. the people are pretty nice and their culture is awesome from what i've seen. I've never been there, but a lot of people who work at Mount Snow study here but come from there. it should be alot of fun, learn spanish.

They attempted to invade The Falkland Islands back in the '80s and got beat. Hard.

I'm from Chile and I will tell you something, Argentina its a very nice place, people are very friendly and women are insanely hot, also they have the best meat hands down, don't hesitate to try every cut you can.
Although you gotta be careful, Buenos Aires could be a very sketchy place if you don't know shit and even more if you are a tourist who doesn't speak spanish, so be cautious.
Will be good for you to know and understand the problem they are going through because of the current president, just look up for Cristina K and read some news.

this is some kid from Argentina, he is pretty chill just shot him a pm

I've been to BA a few times over the last few years, really cool city. What are you up to down there? How long for? I could recommend a bunch of touristy stuff but if you're going to be living there, I guess you'll see it all in good time anyway. Definitely learn spanish as quickly as possible, so much more fun when you can speak to people.

my best buddy moved back to BA where he was born, i went down to visit him for a few weeks. The women are definitely very attractive, and love americans... and for the culture and life down there.. well i loved it. dinners start much later clubs are always poppin every night if you want to go out. but its honestly super fucking dangerous especially if you do not look argentine. if you are attending the huge university of BA then it is a super pretty building with lots of attendees. but in all seriousness BA is a really corrupt and dangerous place.

Not really, most Argentines realise that all the recent drama is a ploy by Kirschner to detract from how fucked up the economy there is right now. The girl I was seeing there did love trying to start arguments with me about it, but I really don't care, so it wasn't a problem.

As long as you're even half smart about stuff BA is fine, I think it's one of the safer big cities of South America.

Haha, definitely super passionate, she could go from being in love with me to raging in a second, fun though. Never seen so many hotties as in BA, don't know what happened on your side of the Andes though! ;)

They have a disgraceful Peronista president, Cristina Kirchner, who follows a similar strategy to Obama's in the US, and Argentina is doing horribly as a result.

Argentines also consume more meat than any other nation.

She really wants a new Falklands war, I think she forgot what happened the first time:
