Peru vs. Argentina

After 6 weeks and some change in Peru, we headed south to Montevideo, Uruguay and Buenos Aires, Argetina for our final 10 days of travel. We have noticed some vast differences between our beloved Peru and our current location of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Some of these points we're are not very proud of, but they are the truth.

And now....in one corner, we have Peru, with mounds of white rice, corn kernels the size of your head, abundance of Daewoo Ticos, scattered with Inca ruins, and plentiful with Alpacas, etc. fighting against Argentina, carnivourous at heart, most plastic surgery in the world, most psychologists in the world, and the outright trendiest people of South America...Let's get ready to rumble......

1. We have eaten sushi two nights in a row because we love it so much and have missed it for nearly 7 weeks...yum!!!
2. When we were planning our trip and looking into the weather in Buenos Aires (BA), Argentina, we found temperatures hovering right around 70. We were surprised too! Turns out, it was one of the rarest weeks of warm temperature they have had in while for this time of year.
3. Typically, bathrooms in B.A. contain toilet paper and a toilet, whereas in Peru...well, you have seen the pictures.
4. Heaters are bountiful in Buenas Aires.
5. Cars typically stop for pedestrians in BA.
6. Three pisco sours don't give you the biggest resaca (hangover) of your life in Buenos Aires...it helps not being at 11,000 ft altitude.
7. Peru has markets (specializing in Alpaca goods)....BA has stores (some that we recognize).:)
8. No tourism ticket in Buenos Aires...yeah!!! You can't go anywhere in Cusco without that silly thing.
9. A hot shower is not a luxury in B.A.
10. We think you can drink the water here in BA?
11. We have found more than two restaurants that we like in B.A.
12. They don't eat guinea pig in B.A.
13. It's warmer in Peru...brrr!
14. We miss the Daewoo Ticos taxis that cost one dollar for a 15 minute ride in Peru.
15. And the Peruvian mountains.
16. And our families.
17. The exchange rate for the Peruvian sole and the Argentinian Peso are the same which makes the math quite easy.
18. Argentine wine!!!! Need we say more...
19. Peruvian Salsa Dancing vs. Argentine Tango.
20. We haven't had white rice (except sushi) outside of Peru and no digestive issues in Argentina. (Cross your fingers:)
