  1. Language: Spanish vs English.

    Argentina has Spanish influence due to the Spanish colonization back in the 1500.Australia doesn´t.

    We´re warmer, and we drink mate!!!.


  2. We aren't wogs

  3. I live in Argentina but spend quite a long time in Australia.

    There are quite a few differences..Australia has english costumes, food, habits,etc.  but in the last 30 years has received a huge migration of latins, so now it has a mixture that has made it quite interesting!

    Argentina on the other hand has had input from the beginning from spanish, italian, german and many other cultures ..it shows in the architecture, food and habits....

    In Argentina people are very affectionate and warm.

    If you are thinking on visiting my country, you won't be sorry....you'll have a lovely time.

  4. They speak a different language - Spanish and English.

    Argentina has a Latin culture, Australia is a western culture.

  5. You should watch Nine Queens (9 Reinas) and you will get a good idea of an aspect of the culture.  It highlights the mistrust that Argentinos have of each other. It is a difficult life there for many, so they have learned to kick who-ever is down.

  6. It`s like black and white. But i will have to say that I prefer Argentina, they are warm, they`re latins. So much Fun

  7. Nine Queens is an extremely exaggerated and bad parody of what SOME people are like in Argentina, mainly in the bigger cities, and especially in Buenos Aires. Most people are not like that. Taking this film to represent what Argentinians are like is as mistaken as thinking that all Americans are shallow and ignorant as the characters of many sitcoms, or violent like Schwarzenegger's films. There are people roughly as Darín's character (anyway, Darín is an extremely bad actor who can only play that kind of characters, that we Argentinians call "chanta").

    If you want to see an entirely different way of being in Argentina, I suggest you look for "Un lugar en el mundo" (I think the translation is "A Place in the World", that's the literal translation, anyway). It was shot around 1992 or 1993. It stars Federico Luppi, Cecilia Roth, Leonor Benedetto and the Spanish actor José Sacristán. It's about how a group of people won't drop their ideals, when fighting a strong economic power. That's a beautiful film about how SOME Argentinians are or intend to be.

  8. stupid americans - those two have nothing in common
