Kristian is explaining what burek is:

BUREK is a type of baked or fried filled pastry, originally made in Turkey, made of a thin flaky dough known as Yukfa and can be filled either with cheese, minced meat, or vegetables.

Best wishes from Slovenia.

  2. A student from Argentina, Mercedes, is answering the questions from Slovenia:

    1.What is the capital of Argentina ?
    The capital of Argentina is, Ciudad de Buenos Aires or Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, it's the same.
    2.Argentina is known as a football country what are your country chanches on upcoming world cup?
    Like a group of football, I believe that Argentina it has great players and if they play well in each teams are to many chances to win the cup.
    3.How much people does live in Argentina?
    Argentina has around 40 million inhabitants
    4.What can you do in Argentina at summer?
    In summer, in Argentina you can go to the Atlantic coast, where one is ''el partido de la costa'' like for example, Mar del Plata, Mar Azul, La Lucila del mar, San Bernardo, Villa Gessel among others. There is very pretty in summer. But if you like more the mountain ranges or the north you can visit Salta, Jujuy, San Luis, Cordoba, Mendoza, among others provinces. Well I recommend to visit al my country because is beautiful.

    Kisses, Mechi !

  3. Questions for the friends in Argentina:
    1.What is the capital of Argentina ?
    Is Buenos Aires
    2.Argentina is known as a football country what are your country chanches on upcoming world cup?
    We have great players but as a team, unfortunately, we're a disaster.
    3.How much people does live in Argentina?
    Argentina has more or less 40 million inhabitants.
    4.What can you do in Argentina at summer?
    I love the summer because of the beaches, the warmth and the holiday. So if you want to have a nice time, you should go to our coast, since San Bernardo to Mar del Plata. Nowadays, the young people is visiting San Bernardo or La Lucila, and the older people, Mar del Plata.

  6. To Arianna:

    It's very good that you lives near the beach. I would like to live in a similar place like yours. If I was you, I would go more time to the beach. It's spectacular.
    I think that you are a very responsible person because you have much interest in global warming. I wish there were more people like you!

    Regards from Argentina.
    Goodbye
    Martín.

  8. A student from Argentina, Agustina, is answering the questions from Slovenia:

    1.What is the capital of Argentina ?
    The capital of Argentina is Ciudad de Buenos Aires,and is a big and beautiful city.
    2.Argentina is known as a football country what are your country chanches on upcoming world cup?
    I dont think Argentina have chances to win the cup because, inespite of having good players, Diego Maradona doesn´t work as a good coach.
    3.How much people does live in Argentina?
    Around 40 million of people lives in Argentina
    4.What can you do in Argentina at summer?
    If you want to spend your holidays in the capital, Buenos Aires, there are lots of parks, clubs and public pools which you can access easily by bus.
    In my opinion the best place to spend your vacation is the Atlantic coast wich is full of beautiful locations, where you can spend all day in the beach and at night go to discos and pubs.
    But if you don´t like the beach you can visit another provinces of Argentina such as Córdoba, Bariloche and others that have beautiful landscapes and where you can spend a pleasant and relaxing vacation.

    Good luck
    Agustina :)

  11. Dear Diana,
    The Argentinian capital city's name is Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, with around three million five hundred thousand inhabitants.
    The chances of success in the World Cup are high, but we're dealing with some problems related to the public opinion related to the Manager Maradona. Nonetheless, we all know we have great futball players.
    The quality of life is quite good, put poverty is widespread, principally in the northern cities like Tucumán, Jujuy and Misiones.
    In Argentina are around forty millon inhabitants, but in 2011 you will have a precise account of them, since the census will be conducted (if they don't get delayed again)
    At summer you can go to any seaside resorts. Some of them are large cities like Mar del Plata or Pinamar. However, you can also try going to any of all the gorgeous touristic points like Jujuy, Calafate (where you can find the glaciers), Mendoza, Bariloche, San Martín de Los Andes (in the last three there are skiing centres all the year), or you can go to Misiones to meet the great Waterfalls, wich are one of the most caudalous all over the world.
    Hope this information has been useful!
    Nicolás.

    Kristian,
    Burek doesn't sound exactly what we'd call a common dish, even though i'd love to try it once in my life!
    Have you ever tried Dulce de LEche? if not, no wonder you should!
    Cheers!

    Arianna,
    In Argentina, cows are blamed for the hole in the ozone layer, thus you are really helping to the ecollogy!

  13. Laura, a student from Argentina, is answering the questions from Slovenia:
    The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires. Actually, there is a discussion about it: some people say it´s La Plata, and others says it´s Bs. As.
    Argentine football players are very famous all over the world, all of them play really good. Unfortunately, the team is not doing very well right now. But we hope for the best.
    About 40 millions of people lives in Argentina. It´s a huge country, the capital city is full of people in someplaces, but in others there is still place for even more people.
    Luckily, Argentina has a lot of things to do at summer. Going to the beach, to the mountains, staying at the swimming pool, going to a park, you can never get bored in here.

    It was great for me to answer you. It´s really interested to share information like this.
    Kisses

    Why don`t you go more often to the beach? I think it would be beautiful living near there. Most of the people from here go to the coast for holidays.
    It`s a grat idea the prevention from global warming. Anyway I think it would be imposible for me to be vegetarian. I love meat!

    How wonderful! I`d really like to visit Slovenia. Argentina also have great thinks to visit, like the tenements in la Boca, which have an interesting history.

    Here are the answers to your questions:
    1. The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires, the city where we live.
    2. In our country football is one of the most famous sports. Argentina national team has won nineteen international titles. I don`t know if that was what you were asking but I don`t know much about that.
    3. In Argentina live around 39 millions of people.
    4. In our country, in the summer people use to go to the coast. In our city people go to parks, to the zoo, to the cinema and do sports.
