I like how the Farmacias work, and the general competence of the pharmacists. I walked in to a local farmacia on Friday with an empty tube of athlete's foot cream that I'd brought from the states. The pharmacist looked at it, nodded her head once, and vanished behind the counter. In about 15 seconds, she was back with both a tube of cream and a bottle of powder, both containing the exact same active ingredient at the same concentration. I bought both cream and powder, and paid a total price less than what I'd have paid for the cream alone in the States. Oh, and I had waited less than a minute to speak with the pharmacist.
I like the competence of the taxi drivers, and the fact that I can carry on a conversation with them. In San Diego that's usually only possible if you speak either Arabic or Pashto.
I like having a butcher who actually behaves like a butcher.
I like that I can have two cups of coffee, two medialunas, and agua sin gas for less than yuppies would pay for their nonfat decaf soy latte at a Starbucks in San Diego.
I love the fact that BsAs has so many bookstores!
Overall, me encanta la Argentina.
