You should see the way that these Argentines spend at the malls on vacation in Miami. It's like they've never seen IPads, IPhones, XBox, or designer clothing before. I didn't realize that there was so much wealth anywhere in South America. Their sense of self importance borders on arrogance though. The long running joke in South America is that the luckiest country on earth is Chile, since it is so fortunate to have Argentina as its’ neighbor.

Isn’t every Argentine related to Italian royalty? Endless plastic surgery too. They are not really well liked by others in SA. Argentina was once - one of the wealthiest countries in the world before Peron and the endless Peron kleptocratic mentality in Argentina.

My ex used to work at Neiman Marcus at the Galleria in Houston. She said it was routine for the rich Mexicans to take vacations to Houston just to shop. She said it was not unusual to have one person buy $10,000 worth of perfume.
And, they tipped well too.
