Argentina is a lot like North America, celebrating most of the same holidays and foods and traditions like BBQs, and famous wine, etc. They also differ in many other aspects, US is more of a power house and influencial to others around them, while Argentina is more culturally bound and values different things like Tango and the influence of dance. Obviously the US is bigger and has a larger population and Argentina isnt the best choice for a variaty of sports to play mainly popular for soccer. I would like to visit Argentina to view different carnivals and festivals to show diversity and growth in Argentina. See different kinds of BBQ and other cultural dishes and how Argentina makes them. Visit National park like Iguazu falls and Argentina's Glacier National Park, a beautiful view of the Glaciers.
