I recently (oh crap it was over 2 years ago!), had a work trip through Argentina and Ecuador. Argentina was the biggest shock for me as an Australian: They dont do sugar in cafe's they do artificial sweeteners, and on top of that they dont do them in 1 tsp measures but 2 tsp measures. They have LOTS of chocolates shops. They really like Beef and sushi Their restaurants don't start opening up until 9 or 10pm Their police roam the streets in full Tac gear with auto rifles and their lights are on ALL THE TIME. Their roads are lined, but they don't seem to pay attention to the lines. A 4 lane road with have 5 or 6 cars wide travelling along it. The gutters are deep... Some of their architecture is brutality and others are quite beautiful.
