I love mate and the whole ceremony surrounding it.
going to the park and drinking mate with pepas.
asado
a rainy day is a perfectly good excuse to stay in and watch a movie in bed (and spoon if a spooning partner is available!).
the kisses as a greeting
the coast
renting a cabaña in the middle of the countryside
I love/hate the buses
delivery!
You can ask people on the street for directions and they'll strike up a conversation

lol @ everybody liking the kissing
Truco is a bit like poker, based on bluffing - it's wildly exciting and there are many jokes, rhymes , sayings and traditions associated to it. Instead of poker chips we use dried beans.
It is played with the "other" kind of cards, called Españolas here - don't know the English name for them. You can signal your cards to your partner using a very strict set of signals like winking one eye or tugging at one ear - the trick is to disguise them in such a way that only your partner notices them.
People will go to great lengths to disguise their signals, and that leads to a lot of kidding and laughing around the truco table. It's a fun game.

Oh by the way, the best ice cream is neither Persicco, nor Volta, nor Freddo (ugh, definitely not Freddo)
My test for ice cream is always the coco flavour.... whether it's totally faked, or if it has real coco in it.
The best ice cream is almost always your neighbourhood "mom and pop" store... in Las Can there's Vizzio -- REAL coco... yum big flakes of it.
There's also the upscale Veikko, that has some really yummy flavours but you pay through the nose for it -- 15 pesos for a cone or something ridiculous! But their flavours are so good -- for chocolate lovers the Fondant is to die for...
