- The emotion and passion of Argentine Spanish.
- The enormous trees, amazing shapes and beautiful flowers.
- The local fruit and vegetables, does not always look perfect, but fresh and tasty.
- My daily visits to the local Confiteria for pastries, croissants and empanadas (jamon y queso, verdura).
- Dulce de Leche and alfajores.
- The friendly people, always keen to speak to you, wish my spanish was better.
- All the kisses.
- Seeing novel species of plants, butterflies and birds.

Things I will not miss
- Putting toilet paper in the bin!
- Either holding the door shut or risk getting locked in toilet!
- The numerous roads to cross and constant noise of the traffic.
- Being alone without friends and family.
- Being followed by stray dogs, although they rarely seemed threatening.
- The deserted streets and need for wellington boots when it rains.
