Even in the '80's i knew it was shit Late 80's to early 90's all the guys in hard rock or metal bands were wearing spandex leggings like Axl did....yeah I admit I dated a few guys that wore them too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Ok. Really hard task since our country is laaaarge and wiiiide and we've got various different types of weather. Not only that, our extensive territory has it all: big cities, small ones, sea, lakes, mountains, beaches, forests, glaciers, falls, dessert.... So I think I could only show you a glimpse of it for you to get an idea. Let me find some photos.... These are the most important cities/places that are also considered a touristic spot for anyone who wants to explore the country: Buenos Aires - The capital of Argentina Santa Fe city and Rosario - Santa Fe province Córdoba city - Mediterranean province Mendoza city - to the West, close to Chile Iguazú Falls - to the East, Misiones province Here comes our famous Patagonia, to the south. This is a city called San Martin de los Andes, in the Neuquén province: Another popular touristic spot, the city of Bariloche, in the Río Negro province: Glacier Perito Moreno - Santa Cruz province A major touristic attraction is when the glacier breaks... And last, but not least... Ushuaia, a.k.a. "end of the world", a small city at the tail of the country, in the province called Tierra Del Fuego: I hope that kind of helped... I'm out of likes but Argentina is beautiful. The architecture, mountains, sea, glaciers. Wow it's pretty amazing and it's so clean. I think most people would be pretty disappointed in our country compared to that. I definitely want to visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the women's choices in a lot of stores are either "12 year old pixie" or "middle-aged bake sale matron" with no in-between. I liked Wet Seal, but they went under. They were actually selling leggings that looked like those rose ones Axl had in the 90s last year, LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Im very critical of everything so I think some places could do better... Or you can go straight to Mendoza and enjoy how they love cleaning every little corner The south also appeals more to English speaking visitors... If I wasn't such a baby cat I would have moved there a long time ago. 1 hour ago, triad said: That was marvelous! Thank you! No problemo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go a few weeks ago for a concert, I have to go in May because my kids love it there and that's where they want to go on holiday, then I have to go back in June for GnR ? I'm trying to get Metallica tickets for their UK tour and I so hope I don't end up back down in London again. I am obviously not a city type of person at all, no matter how pretty the streets or architecture I still seem to not like being there. Saying that though, I was blown away when I went to New York.

Haha well if you are not a city person and also have to go there a lot I get you are less charmed by it I know if I had to go there a lot I would likely start bitching about something..it is almost a given like the tube stopping for 20 minutes, the amount of people everywhere, etc. New York is amazing!

janrichmond Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @MillionsOfSpiders I agree about London it is a very dirty city, I'm only 20 mins by train away but it's like a different world where I live.

Now this is really a shock! Yep, there is. Something like ballroom dancing tango and that is different, but of course similar. I never learned the ballroom dancing thing. Everywhere I go (checked in England (London), Germany and France so far) they make this difference and when you wanna go to dance tango you better go to the tango argentino places. I love London, I studied there for a year. And I'm a city person. Never been to New York though, sadly. Edited March 20, 2017 by Tori72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I go to London though I wonder what the hell tourists get out of it? They swarm to Buckingham Palace but it's the shittest palace you will ever see!! and it's dropping to bits lol it's got scaffolding all over it and people think those leeching royals actually live there. Paris really reminds me of London the few times I've been. Apart from New York my favourite place I've been is Gran Canaria, that place was beautiful and it wasn't expensive either. I would rather go back there than Paris any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, but that doesn't make it less Argentinian. It's still the same dance, tango, but it differs in the way it is danced. The "ballroom" type you mention is actually a category in a Tango competition. In Spanish it is called "tango de escenario", or stage tango, and it's characterized by a choreographic style. This is danced by professional tango dancers. The other one is known as "tango de salon o de pista" and it is the one danced by regular people who are not professional dancers. It is the kind of style you'll find at "tanguerías", which are saloon kind of place where people gather to listen and dance to tango, added you can eat and drink.
