Is Buenos Aires an overrated travel destination?

Yes it is overrated in my humble opinion and I have been there, just the once.

Cape Town, the jewel in its crown is nice enough but not as spectacular as Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco or Vancouver. Robben Island big disappointment when compared to Alcatraz. In fact Table Mountain is just a big flat topped rock and I have seen many Austrian towns which are more scenically situated amidst spectacular mountains and more astonishing views. Your average S African is abrupt, opinionated and just full of it. They can't believe that people prefer Big Sur to Garden Route. Well yes they do and the 2 are similar.

S Africa has nothing to compare with New England in the fall.

Save your money and visit USA; more diverse scenery with nice people.

Traditional clothing of Argentina?

I THINK that Argentinian people wear everyday clothes just like us Americans, because I can't really find anything either but that.

Many men will wear a traditional gaucho suit consisting of a wide brimmed hat, a poncho and a loose pair of trousers or jeans tucked into their boots.

However, there might not be much of traditional costumes in Argentina, as they were people from mostly Spain, Italy and part of Europe. So, the mix of culture does not allow them to be have a fully traditional costume because of religion.

Nevertheless, there is something that you might want to look out for: Many people in Argentina are quite formal with their clothing. It is very common to find a men in a suit just to go for a meal at the restaurant.

People there do judge one by his/her clothing. So, if you are going to Argentina, please dress yourself properly.
