OFF TOPIC BUT THE JOKE AT THE END MAY BE OF INTEREST TO SHORTS: Kip, Still in Argentina, city of Cordoba which is quite different from Buenos Aires. The eating and social schedule is pretty similar. So My lunch is at 2:00PM and dinner after 10:00, frequently after 11:00. Thanks for the article, it is extremely accurate. It describes exactly how Argentinians are viewed in Venezuela. I have two cousisns married to two Argentinians. They are extremely nice but somohow the way they talk comes accross as arrogant. You have to spend some time in Argentina to realize that this is just the way they talk. From the quote below the words about women is no bragging (at least as far as the countries I have visited) the others are debatable: The Argentine daily, La Nacion, recently published a series of axioms that are commonly believed by most Argentines: "Buenos Aires is the only city in the world that has libraries open all night. Argentina has the best-looking women in the world. In Argentina, you just throw some seeds on the ground and they'll grow. Argentina has the best beef in the world. An Argentine can solve any problem with great genius." Don't mean to sterotype, there is all kinds of people in any country. I am treated extremely well here. This being said, here goes a venezuelan investment joke about Argentinian arrogance: The best deal you can make is to sell short an Argentinian for what he says he is worth and then buy to cover for what he is really worth. Just a joke. Don't mean to offend any of the many argentinians that probably read Roger's. pancho
