It has been just a little over a month since I arrived in Chile. Before I came I did little research of Chile and had no knowledge of anything. This is what I have learned since day 1:
1) Chileans speak very fast and make up their own words # Bad place to learn spanish
2) Collectivos are taxis that go from one place to another while picking up people on the way # Cheap and cool way to get around
3) Bread for breakfast, Bread for dinner # Losing weight as we speak
4) Health care is really expensive # Kids running a muck in school
5) It doesn't matter if your Korean or Japanese, you are Chinese here # oblivious racism
6) If you didn't know your overweight or skinny, well now you do # "de"constructive criticism
7) The blonder you are the more money you have, apparently. # stereotyping
8) Don't leave your bag on the ground # bad luck
9) There are more stray dogs here than people # Veterenarian's dream
10) Don't show up on time if your meeting someone, they will be late # bad practice for job interviews
11) Justin Bieber is just as popular here as he is in the United States # Bieber Fever
