I see a lot of crazy stuff on the road and thought it would be fun to keep track of everything in one post (which may turn into a dedicated page when I get motivated). On my next vacation I’ll go back and try to remember things from the other 15 countries.

  • Almost all bathrooms have a bidet. This is why they give you 2 towels (big one for shower and small one for the bidet).
  • Argentines like their butt clean.


  • The shower is rarely in a separate area from the toilet. Technically it would be possible to sit on the toilet and take a shower at the same time (unconfirmed).
  • The paper currency can be in the worst possible condition and people will accept it.
  • Shiny money (from the scotch tape holding it together).


  • Some cars are filled up by having gas injected directly into the fuel line. No idea why… must Google.
  • Not too many people honk when they pass. Getting a thumbs is more common.
  • Pillows are generally as wide as the bed.
  • One pillow; 2 pillow cases.


  • Dinner is around 10pm.
  • Argentines eat more red meat than any other country in the world.
  • Everyone drinks Coke.
  • There’s no fried chicken! :(
  • The locks on many doors are from 1930 (minor embellishment–they are the oldest style locks I’ve ever seen though).
