Observations of Chile

Top 5 Great things about Chile so far.

1. The buses are taxis. Much more speedy and less chance of sitting next to a stinky.

2. Chilean people drink as much tea as the English.

3. Grapes and avocados grow in your back garden.

4. The maximum time to go without a BBQ is 15 days. It takes around 2 weeks for them to finish all the meat they BBQ'd last time.

5. Old school video games are still going strong in this town.



Top 5 odd things about Chile

1. People here drink entire cups of tea with teaspoons, sip by painfully slow sip.

2. Chickens and rabbits live together in harmony, as do parrots and tortoises.

3. Dead animals stay put. This weekend we saw a dead seal, donkey, dog, goat and bird. Anything still living will be humped by a stray dog sooner or later.

4. Nobody goes to bed until at least 1am. Partly because an after dinner lie down is considered a must.

5. Collectable keyrings are still cool in Chile.
