What kind of tea does Argentina drink?
The traditional beverage in Argentina is the "Yerba mate", made from the dry leaves of a tree that grows in northeastern Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, (Ilex paraguariensis).
The Spaniards in Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and the Portuguese of southern Brazil adopted the drink from the local Guarani natives. It is refreshing in summer (drank cold as "terere") and its caffeine content keeps you awake. It warms you in winter.
The leaves are dried, treated and ground and an infusion is made with them, known as "mate".
It is prepared by using a "mate" (a gourd or dry squash or a metal "cup"). The "yerba" is placed in the "mate" and hot water is poured into it from a kettle. The liquid is then sucked through a "bombilla" (metal tube with a mesh on its lower tip - to filter the "yerba" leaves).
Mate is usually drank in company, and the gourd is successively refilled with water and passed on to the next person. Yes, all drink from the same "bombilla" which surprises most foreigners and seems an unhealthy practice (which it may be).
It is also provided in "tea bags".
Mate tastes like a strong and slightly bitter green tea.
In Argentina we also drink tea (mostly dark and with a shot of lemmon juice) and plenty of coffee.

Is nadia muhsen back in England?
Nadia, her children and her nephew Marcus all returned to England in September 2003. I heard this directly from Jana Wain, the best friend of Nadia's mother. At the time, Nadia asked us to keep her personal affairs confidential. Since that time, Jana has formally announced the news on Facebook.
Two things went wrong in England. First, Nadia was separated from her mother and kept under the control of her father. Secondly, her non-husband soon entered Britain (illegally) and is now living with her again. So she is in Britain and with her children, but still psychologically controlled (and physically abused) by her old captors. She does everything they tell her to and doesn't seem to understand that this isn't necessary in Britain.
The good news is that her eldest sister, Laila, has broken contact with their father, has divorced her abusive husband and is now completely reconciled with her mother and sisters. In addition, Marcus has re-established some kind of relationship with Zana. Nadia's own children seem to be living happy lives: the youngest is now 15. We just hope it will get better one day.

What languages are spoken in Argentina?
No. The main, and official, language of Argentina is Spanish. But, like Uruguay, the Portuguese language is a required subject for schoolchildren. For there's heavy traffic back and forth over both countries' borders with Brazil.
Additionally, many of the immigrants, from Spain to Argentina, come from the northwestern province of Galicia. Indeed, Galicia is the place of origin of the Portuguese language within the Iberian Peninsula. And so immigrants to Argentina tend to know, speak and understand Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish.
In fact, Portuguese continues to be spoken in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. For the city still is the destination of Galician immigrants to Argentina. Also, the city still is the host to the continued popularity of tango dancing, music playing, and singing. And the lyrics to tango songs sometimes are in Lunfardo, which is a slangy mix of Brazilian Portuguese; dialects from Africa, the Caribbean, and Italy; and English.
