ClearAsCrystal Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 yeah, you don't hear too much bad news about them. There are differnent advantages that other countries have. Like some have free healthcare and such (but that makes for high taxes) so you have to consider what is more important. And other people's economies affect their culture and religion. It is hard to choose which place would be "ideal" to live at ..but since that was nto a question :P I don't have to choose. But honestly ...Spain would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiu Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 i'm from argentina and it's really funny seeing all the tourist dressed as 'gauchos', 'cos they think it's common. Let me make a statement: 'There is nobody in buenos aires or any other city in the country to wear gaucho clothes, and wearing a silly hat is not gonna make you,tourists,a part of the environment.' thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 don't know anything about "gauchos",but tourists like to buy some special dress,souvenirs in the country which they visit.maybe i would buy some stuff too.it would remind me that country.

maiu Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 but that's the thing,a gaucho hat is not gonna be a souvenir that reminds you of the country,because nobody wears them any more (not even the locals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 russian people as well don't wear "ushanka" - traditional winter hat - or play with "Matryoshki" , but if foreigners come to Russia and want to buy some souvenirs, they're asking about these two. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petit Prince Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Blueflash' date=' in my opinion swiss people are closed to become their friends it can take ages...[/quote'] I totally agree with you. Wherever you go people are a lot more open- minded than here. I don't really have a problem with this because I am Swiss, but still I think this is a negative aspect about Swiss culture. :embarrased: But you will see that you can find very good friend here, unfortunately it takes a little more time to get to know people here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me make a statement: 'There is nobody in buenos aires or any other city in the country to wear gaucho clothes, and wearing a silly hat is not gonna make you,tourists,a part of the environment.' thank you They do that in mexico, wear the indigenous clothing from here, which rarely anyone wears in the cities (maybe in rural or mountainous< also rural :rolleyes: ) But they take it too far. They dress like as if they were going to be in a book for customary clothing or something, but it is not really common Here in the states, we don't have "customary" clothing..what like jeans, and polos? We are just a big mesh of cultures. I mean that is awesome and all..but born Americans don't really have anything distinct...ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiu Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 it's not like i don't like tourist,i do,they're a big part of the economy, but wouldn't it be better if they bought a little 'obelisco', or went to iguazu falls and got one of those little wooden animal (i was there last year,the best experience of my life, i highly recommend it :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
