Porteños are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Case in point:
Who will give a yankee directions to an obvious location and answer with a smile?
A Porteño
Who would offer you their last cigarette, even if the nearest Kiosko was only one block away?
A Porteño
Who would invite you to a River Plate soccer match on Sunday if you've just met in a park on Saturday?
A Porteño
Who would let you look around their shop and ask questions for twenty minutes without buying a single thing, and send you off with a gracious thank you?
A Porteño
Who would hear your accent and in the next breath ask where you're from with great interest?
A Porteño
Who still enjoys the art of conversation and makes it a daily point to have coffee and talk with friends?
A Porteño
And for all those "fatty on the inside but skinny on the outside people"
Who makes the best damn empanadas in the entire world?
A Porteño
