  1. Argentina

  2. I’m going to Argentina for the first time in my life. I’m going to Buenos Aires and visiting interesting places and going to a soccer game.

  3. Today I went to the Obelisk in the center of Buenos Aires. It was built on May 1936, It was the first time that the Argentinean flag was flown up. Its total height is 67 meters(220 ft), its base is 49 meters wide(530 squared ft). It was designed by architect Alberto Prebisch. It is a spot where people gather to celebrate for winning of sport teams like the National Soccer Team. When you’re in front of it, you feel so small like an ant.

  4. Soccer in Argentina • Argentina is a big soccer country. There's some unique traits between Latin people and soccer that can be proved best on Argentina soccer players. Argentina shares the same passion for soccer as Brazilians people. There’s a rivalry between the two countries that is now over a century old. But besides the fact that Brazil has won more World Cups than its rivals Argentina. Argentina football players always shine out of the crowd and some of the World's greatest players come from Argentina.

  5. Gelato in Argentina • In Argentina their ice cream is so amazing. A dollar fifty will get you a cone filed to the top with ice cream. They serve a Gelato styled ice cream with higher density and more intense flavor. An ice cream store called gooey dulce de leche has flavors that you’re never likely to see anywhere else. Like brownie chunks, chocolate with figs and walnuts, a bright lemon chocolate chip or maybe a rich mascarpone with berries. If your near a Gooey Dulce De Leche run in and try some of there delicious Gelato.

  6. Tango • Argentinean tango is a social dance and musical genre that originated in Argentina. In the U.S. they call it ballroom tango. The tango is basically walking with a partner in a style of dance with music. Argentine tango is a type of dance in which leader and follower connect at arms length in a way that is chest to chest, or anywhere in between.A good dancer is one who makes you see the music. Also dances, keeping their feet close to the floor as they walk, the ankles and knees brushing as one leg passes the other. The tango is a very cool and stylish type of dance.

  8. History of Buenos Aires • Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, currently the third largest Metropolitan Area in South America. It is located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. The city of Buenos Aires is not part of Buenos Aires Province, nor is it its capital; rather, it is an autonomous federal district. Greater Buenos Aires is the fourth largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of around 13 million. After the internal conflicts of the 19th century, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province in 1880. The city limits were enlarged to include the former towns of Belgrano and Flores, which are both now neighborhoods of the city. Buenos Aires ̯was originally named after the sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Bonaria in Cagliari, Sardinia. In the 1994 constitution the city became autonomous, hence its formal name: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, in English, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. See Names of Buenos Aires.People from Buenos Aires are called porteños. • Seaman Juan Díaz de Solís, navigating in the name of Spain, was the first European to reach the Río de la Plata in 1516. His expedition was cut short when he was killed during an attack by the native Charrúa tribe in what is now Uruguay. The city of Buenos Aires was first established as Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre on 2 February 1536 by a Spanish expedition led by Pedro de Mendoza. The city founded by Mendoza was located in what is today the San Telmo district of Buenos Aires, south of the city center.

  9. What happened to the Incas? The Incas’ city Macchu Pichu is shown in this picture. The Incas are a little like the English people and the native people in Canada. In Canada the English and the French took over the natives. The English and French took over the natives’ land and started to build on their land and used their resources. The natives were here first before us, then we took over. Similarly, the Spanish people took over the Incas and made their culture extinct. Most of South America now speaks Spanish except for Brazil and some other countries. Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas as well as bringing smallpox upon them and decimating most of their population. That was the end of the Incas.

  10. How is life different now in Argentina from the Incas? • Argentina: Today Argentina is a big tourist attraction and curiously Macchu Pichu is one of the largest tourist spots. Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world, populated with 40 million people of mainly European background. Argentineans are hard working people and it is a prosperous country. One of there main past times is soccer. Family is a very important part of there culture; they often have large family gatherings and for food they eat a lot of meat. Most Argentineans are Roman Catholic. • Incas: The Incas were also a prosperous civilization because they obtained a lot of silver, gold and bronze. They were also good farmers producing many vegetables, but there main source of food was potatoes. They were very religious believing in the Inca god, Inti. The Incas built Cuzco as there major city and they had a sophisticated form of government. http://www.whatargentina.com/argentina-history.html
