Quinn, pm me in January when all the expats are back from their holidays and I will link you up with a great dog rescue organisation run by some Aussie/South African women.

For God's sakes they even have a kosher McDonalds!
That´s because BA has a huge Jewish community, Santiago´s Jewish community is comparatively tiny and not really comparable. Plus, I´m not sure that you can get Kosher McDonalds in many other cities (other than in Israel) either, or maybe I just haven´t noticed. Can you?

Argentina has a huge Jewish community, if not the largest, outside of Israel. I believe the kosher McD in BA is the only one in the world outside of Israel.

I thought the USA had the most jews outside of Israel. Hmmm On that note folks Happy Channukah!
Well the point was that, personally I noted more variety in the food. There were many more healthy options as well. There was one wonderfully unhealthy option from Patagonia, called "Abuela Goya". I remember staring in amazement at my first Chilean food court... I looked at every menu and sincerely wondered why they bothered having more than one establishment. Sadly Dunkin Donuts seemed to be the only place that did not offer meat on a bun with mayo and palta.
I would love to see an Asian boom in dining here. Pick a country its all good.
We agree to disagree.
