Yeah, you are right.. the odour at "Le Metropolitain" wasn't exactly like roses...

one thing i noticed about argentina though, was that when everyone is all squished together on the colectivo at the end of the day, it still doesn't smell! what is the secret??? even when i ride the bus in the morning i've had the misfortune of an odorous trip...

I've always considered using paper to smear poo all over one's bumcrack and leaving it to fester to be really disgusting. Not to mention women using paper when they pee - sorry girls, but it..um..makes it taste pissy Smile

When I renovated a house in Melbourne I put in a bidet - now my ex-gf (owner of my now ex-house) uses it to wash undies. Meanwhile, due to the appalling personal hygeine of the smearers, I have to settle for hanging my bum over the bathroom sink in my rented flat to wash between showers.

I'm gobsmacked that there's someone in the world that doesn't know what a bidet is Shocked Still, I couldn't count the number of times I've ordered an espresso in Queensland and watched the anglo waitress start making a cappaccino - and then have the cheek to argue about what an espresso is!

Philistines! Cool

There was a Yank ship in port last weekend. Unfortunately I didn't know, or I would have stayed home. The only girls that go out while a ship is in port are the slappers. You always know when a Yank walks into a club because your eyes start to water. What do they use to apply cologne? A bucket?

What is it with the way stink propogates though still air anyway? When a real stinker gets onto a bus, it only takes about half a second for the entire bus to stink up. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the north Queensland 'parkies' are the smelliest creatures on earth - they don't bathe for years on end, and clothes aren't washed - just 'rested' between extended wearings. Add in the tropical climate and you haven't suffered until you've sat next to one in an enclosed space.

Aramas... the Argentina forum (as long as I have been a part of it) is not like that. Go flame and be rude elsewhere. If you want to "take the piss" out of a group or nationality... please do it in good fun.

I couldn't agree more with ElNota. The Argentina forum has always been free of mean-spirited bashing & flame wars. Please confine your militant hatred for Americans to other fora. You will find many people in the General Discussion who share your views. It never ceases to amaze me how someone can turn even a benign thread about bidets into another opportunity to trash Americans.
