Aug 28th, 2012 - 12:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course you can watch birds in Argentina. And get abused by idiotic teenagers who call you 'stupid tourists'.
We are nice to our tourists because they spend lots of money and appreciate our country and our culture, and they come in their thousands to do just that. We don't turn their boats away because they looked at us the wrong way.
And then they go away and tell all their friends what a great place this is and how different we are from Argentina.
Good luck to the Falklands tourist industry I say; far more apropriate than a mega oil industry...
