Some things we will not miss about South America:
Pan Blanco (white, usually rock solid bread), the staple for desayuno (breakfast)
Banos, not just those on the buses but also the Banos Publicos (pay a small fee to relieve yourself amidst farmyard animal smells)
The empanada is the staple quick food item of choice here. We never really took to them, that said - we did experience some very tasty ones in Santa Cruz, Bolivia
