Tango
I went to see a documentary on tango today, and I was by far the youngest person in the theater. I guess it's not a subject most young people are interested in, but it had some great music in it, and I enjoyed the story as well. A couple of the songs in the movie even got applause from the (very small) audience in the theater.
Before I came here, "tango" to me was just a dance, but it's really at least as much about music and culture as it is about dance. Maybe it's sort of what big band music was to Americans.
Hairstyles here aren't that different, but there are a couple of trendy hairstyles sported by young women that I haven't seen in the US. One of them can only be described as a female mullet. Think Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon. It's not very common, but I see it occasionally.
By the way, you can buy Paul Newman salad dressings here for US$7 a bottle.

Did you ever see "Scent of a Woman" with Al Pacino? Great tango scene.
