I'm on the American continent. I live in South America. I refer more especifically to Brazil. The state of Brazil which I live has borders with Argentina and Uruguay. We usualy drink the "chimarrão" that is a typical drink, a infusion kind of unsweetened yerba maté that we carry in a cured gourd and we drink through of a metallic straw. You can see a representation of this in the image here at side.
Have you been to any country on the American continent? Do you live there?
