On Nov. 9 the country held the biggest protest in 10 years. Protests are so common here where people are displeased with the inflation and lack of political stability. I saw protesters gathering in my neighborhood and heard people beating their pots and pans (the protesters are called caserolas because of this) - it represents protesting here as something very much of the common people, as pots and pans are objects every Argentine has in their house. Here are some great pictures I stole from my friend who went. Here's an article on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-20263760
