Good points, T. The Argentinians I've spent time with seem to want to separate themselves from the rest of N/S America and associate themselves with Europe (i.e. they speak Castellano, not Espagnol, they learn "British" English in School, not American English, they often drink tea instead of coffee etc.).

It seems to me that a lot of hispanic ladies are refreshingly outspoken and curious about the kilt, ask their questions, and seem satisfied with the explanations.

Brief story: I was walking around in town with my younger sister and we passed 4 young men dressed as thugs (which is a bit out of place for my town). Of course, they waited until they had passed and were sufficiently far away before they made comments to me about my "skirt". They were clearly not "genuine thugs" and I couldn't resist pointing out to them that there were four of them and one of me, and they were still too chicken to say something to me when I was close. Needless to say, they kept their distance. It's odd, I'm not a tough-looking guy, but by and large people seem to be a bit nervous about picking a fight with a guy in a kilt.
