That depends on the country, in poor countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia or Paraguay, life could be very different than in the U.S.
In the richest countries of South America like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Southern Brazil, like is just like in the U.S. or in Southern Europe.
And, not, it's not the same having a Latino friend in South America than in the U.S. or another countries.
Hispanics living in the U.S. are mainly from Mexico, Central America, Dominican Republic and Colombia and these Latinos have no education, they didn't go to university or school, so, they're just ignorant people.
I'm from Argentina, I don't use drugs, I have an iPhone 5, I'm studying at university and blah, blah, blah, as millions of people here in Argentina and other countries in South America.
First, South America is a rather large continent filled with many diverse cultures and people of many different ethnicities. Yes, Hispanic people make up a large majority of most South American countries' populations, so if you lived in a South American country and weren't anti-social, your friends would probably be Hispanic. It's like saying if you lived in Ireland your friends most likely would be Irish.
Like many countries, there is a degree of illegal drug use in South America, but not any more so than most countries. Sad that some nitwits have to live in a narcotics-enhanced daze. They miss out on the beauty of the real world.
If I were to live in a south american country it would be Peru. Peru has so much culture and you never get bored. They are the only country there to speak the good spanish, which is from Spain, all the other countries, speak there own wierd made up language. Food is the best there, in America and all over the world, Peruvian Cuisine is recognized, the top chef of the world of 2012 was from Peru, Gaston. Peru, has one of the 7 wonders of the world... Machu Picchu. Peruvian people over there are really nice, treat you respectivly, they know really good english, so when you talk to them they have really good vocabulary, i was surprised. They do have drugs over there, but they never go crazy as the colombians and chilens do. Peru is an amazing country and you should visit it one day!
one of my fave countries in south america!
Oh Argentinos think they are the **** lol it's funny because they are a leftist country and a rather poor one. Always have problems with their presidents and with an external debt that would give you cancer. Oh and they hate english speaking countries. Colombia is not a poor country and we are not ignorant lol saying that an entire country is ignorant only shows that you're really ignorant. I'm Colombian I drive an audi a5 and I have an iphone too and I'm pretty sure people in ecuador too... it depends on the person, not the country. This is exactly why no one like argentinos :)
In most countries the quality of living is poor.
I guess its the same as having any other friend but what is it like having a lot of latino/hispanic friends if you live in south america. Do you do things like, use drugs?
