I've been in Rosario for about a week now and here are my initial impressions:
People seem to similar to BA in levels of friendliness and rudeness.
The food situation is like BA five years ago. Very little ethnic food. Not many "healthy" restaurants. Found two Mexican restaurants, two Arab restaurants and one sushi place. My beloved Chinese operated food by weight buffets are a rarity here.
Seafood and fish are very popular here. This is a surprise to me given that BA being a coastal city has much less seafood and fish available. The Coto around the corner has mostly fish on offer in his buffet table. Mariscos con arroz, Atun mayonesa, Merluza, etc. Walking down the street different forms of Merluza are on offer as the Menu del Dia. What's the deal with Rosario and fish?
Not many people yelling Cambio on Cordoba (Rosario's version of Florida St.). Sometimes none...
It is difficult to find a good temporary apartment here. I had to move out of the first one and the second one has problems, e.g the slowest internet I've had anywhere in the world. Both of these apartments are sparsely equipped: 4 glasses, 4 plates, 4 spoons and 4 forks and that's about it.
The streets are much less lively than in BA. The central core seems to desert at night as most people head to their suburban homes.
Well that's about all I can think of...
