The northern end point of the suburban train in Buenos Aires is Tigre. From there on, the delta of the La Plata River extends.
The Delta of the La Plata River is dotted with villas of Buenos Aires citizens. The ferry from Tigre stops at a villa on demand, takes two hours to reach the La Plata mainstream, and then goes back to Tigre. The villas tells about the richness of Argentina that cannot be imagined from economic situation, that is, the reality of extreme abundance on one side of the disparity society.
At Tigre, I entered a restaurant to wait for a ferry. There was a man who had a lunch, reading a newspaper. I only talked a little next to him, but when I tried to make a payment, the clerk pointed to him that he had paid for me. To me who addressed my gratitude, he raised his eyes from the newspaper and said, "Diviértase Argentina (Enjoy Argentina)!” Soon he looked back the newspaper again. Cool! This Japanese version is what I want to do if a foreigner traveler sits next to me. However, the condition is that the restaurant is not expensive. Because I am Japanese who is not abundant compared with rich Argentina.
