A bit about Argentinian people - a forward looking culture with an unfortunate currency

---

The Argentinians I’ve met so far all look European and have French or Italian names. Generally the Argentinian people I've met seem to be very expressive, they love to talk about everything and anything, are inquisitive and very curious about Europeans. It is rumoured that Argentinians favourite hobby is reading and it seems true. There are bookshops everywhere. Argentina makes Spain look like the dark ages as people here seem to me so forward thinking in comparison to Spain and seem to look more to the future than be held back by tradition. However, it is such a shame that the currency is not a good one at the moment because I feel like this nation holds a lot of potential, has a good mind set with what I would call modern values and a real appreciation of human rights but they seem to be held back by a poor economy and perhaps a corrupt society which in turn has created a mistrustful society.
