Final thoughts about Argentina - as I am on my way home

Ok I have a 4 hour layover at Washington dullas airport and hacked into a free wifi, as I download the latest episodes of the Office and Burn Notice I figured now is a good a time as any to jot down my thoughts about Argentina.
On a scale of 1 to 10 where I would give it about a 5 or 6. If it wasnt for Iguazu falls it would be down about 3.
Overall, there was just not that much to see or do which I found interesting, Sure I took some photos of posted here.. and the people were nice, but the food was overall the same menu no matter what restaurant I went to.. I could tell you before I walked in, what was on page one and page two.
The people here yes they eat beef.. but it seems they eat the innerds like the liver, kidney's entrails and tripe more so than what we american find eatable like steak.
The architecture was nothing to write home about.. nothing nearly as interesting to me as
what I saw in Brazil. The subway while clean an expensive, is prone to striks which did sort of mess me up on my last day.
I think my next trip has got to be back to easter europe like Romania or Russia, or both.. I have now been to just about ever country in South America and expect for Venezeula I think I can pass on coming back.
Get the fedors, it was really worth it to read for websites, and phone numbers. Take a laptop or internet device, and leave yourslef at least 2 between connecting flights back from the foreign country you visit.. It took me 2 hours this morning to get though customs and tsa.
I was talking to a fellow travler in line this morning, and was suggested that I look at lonley planet for travel guides.. Maybe that would help.
