South America vs North America

Ever wander where some classic things from North American culture end up?
Well all you old favorites are in South America:

Rat-tails and mullets are prodomiently found in the more developed cities like Buenos Aires or
Santiago among the youth... They are very fashionable down here.

Scrunchy socks are in Brazil.

80´s music dominates the airwaves in most countries.

The genie pant is on every female in Buenoa Aires.

The USA´s late 70´s and early 80´s obvious and abundant cocaine use is normal here.

The Classic Volkswagon Beetle can be found in every country, but they are literally everywhere in
Brazil, Ecuador and Peru.

Scrunchies are in every women`s hair throughout the continent.

Sacagwea dollar coins are one of the most popular currencies in Ecuador.

In other stories though, I got pick-pocketed on our first day in Buenos Aires.
We weren´t as careful as we usual are and just had our guard down on the
subway. It totally sucks, but luckily we only had the equvilient of $100 US
dollars on us and our cards we were able to cancel.

Buenos Aires it self has been ridiculous ly fun. We have been out with some great people
and having a blast in the city from going to dinner parties, discos and bars... actually we
haven´t been doing much sight seeing,but instead sleeping till three. This has definitely
been my favorite city and I don´t want to leave!

I do however miss a few select things from the USA:

Toliet paper in stalls.

Toliet seats.

To go coffee.

Using credit cards everywhere.

ATM locations everywhere.

Cheap plane tickets.

Good cocktails, beer and TEQUILA.

Breakfast.

Dishwashers.

How ham does not come on everything.

But that´s about all I miss.
