What amazed me about Argentina!!!!!


What amazed me about Argentina!!!!!
     

      Do you believe in change? Well let me tell you that there is change, it is possible. And I am sure of this, because Argentina, for example, used to be a country in which darkness used to reign. Argentina went through a time called the “Dirty War” which refers to Argentines being persecuted by the government. During this time, many people were kidnapped, murdered, and other just simply disappeared this people were called "los desaparesidos" or "the disapeared" . The government was sinister and severe with the people to the point where everything was “censored”. Imagine the fact that everything you watch in the television or read in any paper has been censored by the government. It will be obnoxious. The best way to understand this is by reading the story “the censors” which will give you a clear understanding of what happened. But what if a country changes, and becomes prosperous? Well this is the case with Argentina.
After all that happened, Argentina is now a country where people live sprightly, and in harmony. This is what I witnessed when I traveled there, all the lovely people that live each day as if the dark past did not even existed. And you must be wondering but what did you do or saw that impressed you and left you wanting to go back? Well let me tell you that the best way to get to know a country and its culture is through sports. The sports include soccer, rugby, polo, tennis and others. Sports for many in Argentina, are a way to express the freedom that they have, and the liberty that was once denied in the past.  And i feel lucky, that i had the opportunity to spend time with such incredible people in a exuberant place like Argentina.
