Am I Chilean?





You know you're becoming Chilean if...


1) you can jump on and off a moving bus.


2) it doesn't surprise you when a teacher doesn't show up, and instead gives you an extra 50 pages of reading on top of the hundred plus pages that you are expected to read in three days.


3) you can read on the micro (bus) while weaving through traffic.


4) you think it's just normal to almost get into 5 accidents during a 20 minute micro ride.


5) you are used to the complete lack of organization.


6) one day out in the sun gives you tan lines (and a sunburn) like you’ve never had before.



7) you put mayonnaise on everything


8) you’re used to having 80 degree one day and the next 40 degree.


9) taking a ten hour bus ride to somewhere sounds like nothing.

10) the sound of catcalls doesn’t bother you anymore.


11) you are used to all the callajeros (stray dogs.)


Moral of the story: I'm becoming Chilean!
