In Rosario we stayed in a very stereotypical backpackers hostel (Complete with 'reggae' bar attached - seems to be some kind of natural law that all backpackers must like reggae, or else!) where we met some real characters.
From his long greying mane and shaggy beard to his nut brown body with sweaty money-belt permanently attached, Roger (a retired TV producer from Canada) was certainly a contender for the prize of backpacker stereotype of the week. This vision of a traveller completed his look with a brazilian flag bandana knotted over his locks and a T-shirt with the somewhat crass slogan of "Cambodia: danger! mines!". While the Argentine and Uruguayan travellers present also sported the slightly hippy look, they were no match for Roger.
