So, I finally got to read this...
Bloody ...Ouch!!! So, I finally got to read this...<br /><br />Bloody hell, what a prick! The problem is, once Argentines get the opportunity to get out to compete in sports - whether it be football, tennis (Del Potro), cycling, you name it... they have this ferocity about them which means they have to prove that they're the best, because they have fought so hard to get to where they are. <br /><br />Doesn't mean to say that their teammates from the rest of the continent haven't had to work hard too, but the Nationalistic and uber patriotic vibe that the Argentine carries with them once they leave the Provincia of Buenos Aires is, well impresionante.<br /><br />Funnily enough I am living with 3 Colombian girls at the moment here in BA... it is interesting to hear their experiences with rude arrogance around the city, however unfortunately it exists not only here but in the whole world. When I was living in England, I was friends with a group of Norwegians who weren't shy to communicate to me how horrible England was, how great Norway was and how much they were looking forward to going back. <br /><br />I guess we all get on a defensive once we leave the home land and are inclined to protect what we know, and what we grew up with. However if there is one useful thing they teach you growing up in England, it is good sportsmanship... and lets be honest, that is something that the Argentines clearly need to get to work on.<br /><br />Hope you're well Miles :) I'm enjoying your blogs.<br /><br />xxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975870104854906188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666999240051639258.post-20699943339200760512010-03-28T15:53:04.103-05:002010-03-28T15:53:04.103-05:00Toda la razon!!Toda la razon!!Guidonoreply@blogger.com
