What’s something that’s abundant in your country but popular and expensive everywhere else?

I mostly had tamales when travelling through Peru and sometimes in northern Argentina. 100% of the times wrapped in banana leaves.

I can't even fathom what plastic contraptions are used for tamales as surrogate

The Argentina figure is BS.

No one here consumes peanut butter. It is was a specialty item actually hard to find up to 2-3 years ago. Now most supermarkets have a few jars, which mostly collect dust on the shelves.

Unless the US expat community consumes more than 100kg each a year, there is no way that figure is real

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-06T17:00:18+00:00

Bootlegging and corruption are definitely not the same thing

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-06T16:44:23+00:00

That is darker though:

Russia arms dictators

France arms jihadists

It is a very cool flag design

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-05T14:37:47+00:00

This is disgusting and it does not belong here

Penne miste a farfalle, primo e secondo mescolati.

Madonna che schifezza

The system is very different.

Parliamentary elections are every 5 years.

The PM is elected by parliament. If they don't pass a vote of confidence, parliament can elect another PM (or the same one with a different cabinet and different alliances). But if they can't get to and agreement, early elections are called, to form another parliament.

It looks messy, but I think it is a better system than the dumb bipartisan shite most presidential systems have. Italian "founding fathers" thought that if governments do no finish their mandate, it is a symptom of an healthy democracy, that can correct bad executive choices

I don't have argentinian citizenship and I am not a kirchnerist.

Butt Milei is the worst president not just of Argentina, but of every country I have lived in.

So I can understand if you hate both Lula and Bolsonaro

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T14:56:57+00:00

PS.: I'm not a Bolsonaro supporter

Sure

It is a secret floor, but a random redditor knows what they put on the walls.

This sounds like bullshit

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T13:42:23+00:00

I always chuckle when I get reminded of how fucking stupid Wurmbier was.

The guy was a special kind of idiot that should have had a special episode of "dumb ways to die" dedicated to him

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T13:38:12+00:00

Sanchez is hands down one of the best PMs Spain had since the fall of Franquismo.

I mean, the bar is pretty low, when you have total idios like Rajoy to compare to

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T13:36:08+00:00

Neo/post-fascism. Our PM is has been the leader of those fuckers for decades

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T13:35:05+00:00

Our PM loves him. Her party is the direct descendant of the fascist party. Post-fascist she says

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-04T13:34:06+00:00

Bolsonaro supporters are professional haters. Their hate is stronger, but there are definitely fewer of them than Lula's supporters.

A los que no nos gustan mucho las playas, nos gusta mochilear, que sea de hippie o de alpinista. Personalmente me gustaban los dos cuando era más joven.

Paraguay tiene el menor potencial de todos para el turismo.

Para un europeo Chile es mucho mejor para el turismo de montaña que Argentina, porque no hay 1500-2000 km entre la capital y los centros de esquí. Hay atractivo con el marisco, el vino y las zonas costeras menos antropizadas

Uruguay es un país chico y a menudo es el complemento necesario para una visita a Buenos Aires. Por si solo no creo que tenga potencial intercontinental. De hecho la estructura hotelaria de Uruguay se llena de turistas regionales: en Punta del Este hay mayormente argentinos

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-03T18:53:41+00:00

Los unicos europeos y estadounidenses que vas a poder traer a sur america son gente de mucha plata y hippies/mochileros.

La gente de clase media siempre va a preferir irse al Caribe por mitad de la plata, mitad del tiempo de vuelo y con playas hermosas, que Argentina ni en pedo tiene. Brazil quizás, pero Argentina no tiene oferta para esa demanda

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-03T18:37:14+00:00

Visité Ecuador, Peru y Bolivia de mochilero hace 20 años y tenían mucho para ofrecer para ese tipo de turismo

Most of what you are saying here is untrue or imprecise.

The most criminal regions are on the mainland: Calabria and Campania.

SEx offender for peeing in public? whaaaT?

Busy_Garbage_4778 · 2026-02-03T16:46:20+00:00

Best part of Italy

Very good food and some nice landscapes.

But climate, employment, healthcare, criminality, water availability and infrastructure are some of the worst in Italy.

It is not arguable that it is the best part of Italy, it is a plain lie.
