One question that came from my sister that I thought might be interesting to others is, “What could you not find in Argentina that you would want?” Here are a few things that I came up with. Since we have not spent extensive time in Argentina, I’m not sure how accurate this list is. However, here it goes!
- Peanut Butter – This first comes to my head because my uncle, aunt, and cousins used to be in Chile and they didn’t have any either (just a childhood memory)
- Marshmallows – I guess that means no smores and Hannah will have to make fondant with something else or make her own marshmallows
- Inexpensive technology – it’s true. I priced a Motorola Xoom before I left the USA. It was around $347. In Argentina it was around $800. I’ll surely be missing this.
- Mustard
- Salty (non-sweet) ketchup
Like technology, there are many things that you can easily find there but are expensive. It’s not like the whole country is a vacant land mass. The big difference is cost.
As bad as it may sound that we might not find the items in this list in Argentina, there are so many things that we find in Argentina that we don’t find elsewhere that outweigh these small number of things.
