As y'all may know, I'm Argentinian, so here are some facts about my country!
Before I start you should make sure you know where Argentina is on the map:
Ok, now we can start:
1) Even though the most popular sport is football (soccer), the national sport is "pato" (pato means duck in spanish. It is called like this because it was originally played with a live duck inside of a bag. Nowadays it 's played with a ball with handles.
2) Argentina was the first country to make a radio transmission. Only 20 people had the equipment to hear it.
3) Argentina has the largest number of psicologists per capita
4) Some typical foods include asado (similar to a bbq) , alfajores (see picture on the right), dulce de leche (used to fill alfajores), milanesas (breaded meat, can be cow meat, pork, chicken or fish) ,mate (infusion made out yerba) and the bus.
5) The largest flying bird was found in Argentina. It is called Argentavis Magnificem and it lived 6 million years ago. It was 7 or more meters long and it weighted 120kg.
So those are some things I think are interesting to know! Did you know about al these? What are some facts about YOUR country?
