People in Argentina need to…

  • INSTALL STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS. It’s insane here. Pedestrians never have the right of way, and at intersections, cars frequently get trapped because drivers refuse to move back to let other cars by. Walking on these streets is terrifying.
  • ASK BEFORE ASSUMING SEPARATE TABLES GO ON THE SAME BILL. Just because we all came in together doesn’t mean we’re paying together, and we never split the check evenly. There’s a reason we ask for a different table and ask how much our food is.
  • MAKE RESTAURANT BILLS COMPREHENSIBLE/ISSUE BILLS. Some places have a system of tallies on a card where orders are printed, others write in shorthand or put down a number and then the price, and some places just tell you the final amount. There’s no bill. Just a number. fjkdal;jdlkaj IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!

    The traffic rules seem like the one in Santo Domingo. Remember? All you need is to move your head at 360 degrees and you can cross the streets!
