Random Chile thoughts

So, I have become a very lazy and sad blogger.
Then yesterday, I realized...I only have 1 month left in South America!
Thus, even though my English skills are greatly reduced now, I need to be more vigilant and document, so here are a few lines.


Things I love in Chile
-missing the metro train crammed to the brim with people at 8 am and to subsequently step onto the completely empty one following it a second later
-that blind people and people in wheelchairs are helped on and off of public transportation
-that in the micro, I can catch a girl filling a droplet with milk out of a Coke Zero bottle and opening her lunchbox to feed the kitten inside


Things I question if it is actually wrong or if it is just an American cultural construct
-people saying "gay" and "maricon"
-a presentation group of Chilean nursing students whose faces were covered in dark makeup to introduce Haiti
-the micro driving away as I knock on the door that just closed as I was kissing people goodbye
