Here is a list of things I have learned about Chileans, it is a work in progress, but a list nevertheless.
1. They love the Simpsons a lot, as in more than I thought anyone could.
2. They need a lesson in central heating.
3. They eat a lot of sugar and salt.
4. They know how to move their hips.
5. It is nearly impossible to have a conversation that is not full of passion. Sometimes this results in yelling during class, which is startling, but entertaining.
6. The circuses feed the street dogs to their animals. This breaks my heart and makes me think I would be the crazy dog lady here.
7. They love their families a lot.
8. They watch really bad telenovelas (soap operas) that I can't get into, but love to pretend I am.
9. Chilenismos are huge here which means they speak a little Spanish and a lot of Chilean.
10. Mi casa es su casa is actually the truth here. I have never felt more at home in a place that is not my home. They are extremely gracious and kind about including me in their lives.
11. They love Chile. They have so much pride for their country it is awesome!

I shall update this list every so often. I hope you are all doing well.
