Isrealies, Frenchies and Candiansies

Last night in my dorm there were 6 Isrealies, one canadian (me) and one guy from Argentina.

The hostels are full of young Isrealies. As it turns out after finishing their military service they want some freedom, so many of them are down here on one year vacations. In the south of Argentina that was the case too.

Lots of French people on tours too. Not in the hostels, but when visiting the glaciers in the south and then the waterfalls in the north I kept running into big French tour groups.

There were a few Canadians in the Buenos Aires hostel. More than usual. Usually it´s me and maybe one other, but the other night there was 4 of us.

It´s best when there is a good mix of nationalities and ages. Otherwise, people tend to splinter off. Also, you don´t travel to be surrounded in your own culture.

Anyway, I think it´s interesting to see patterns of where people are coming from and wonder why they go to the places they go to.
