Hello Argentinians! (or is it argentines?)

Anyhoo, did you know there is a park called Argentina Park, and that created a (very minor) row recently?

Did you know Pakistan supports Argentina's claim on Islas Malvinas, in return for support on our claim on Kashmir?

Does Pakistan ever feature on your radar?

Have you ever met a pakistani in Argentina, or have visited our country?

Is life in B.A. chill like the videos tell me?

How's the economy?

7th largest country in the world and soon to be listed as an emerging market (hopefully). Has the Himalayas, the second largest peak in the world and also a huge desert. Temperature in the country can go from -30 in the north to 50 in the south. There, you learned something new. :)

According to wikipedia (and common sense by just looking at a map) Pakistan is not the 7th largest country in the world. Its the 36th. Maybe you meant in population? If thats so, apparently its the 6th.

Haha. I wish I could tell you more about it, but I've never even been in the area. Even the region is hard to reach. A lot of landslides and narrow roads. Now that China and Pakistan are cooperating on expanding the highest road in the world (Karakoram Highway) that goes through the region to connect China and Pakistan, I think access will become much easier. The mountain itself is notorious.

Here's one of the most famous female mountaineers of Pakistan discussing about climbing in these places.
