correction to Argentina facts

So..one of me dear friends in Argentina informed me that a couple of my facts were not exactly right. So, to clarify:

The population of 14 million is in the province of Buenos Aires....only 3 million live in the actual city of Buenos Aires :) ... that is still a LOT of people (considering I live in a city of only 1/2 a million :)

Also the fact about the people being from other ethnic backgrounds (German, Dutch, etc.) is true, though the article made it sound like the Spanish descendents were less than those of the German, Dutch and Italian, where in reality the Spanish are believed to still be in majority.

Hopefully that clears up any confusion :) ... I'll be sure to check my sources better next time!

I hope that this information peaks your curiosity and makes you want to learn more about this place, I know it does mine!
