Hahahaha, great post!
Happens here too (Peru), it is amazing how this keeps happening all over!
I’m glad to say I’ve met pretty cool people, smart and open minded that forgot about the books and came to visit and enjoy ‘the real’ thing around here

Hola from Spain! Ha Ha, VERY funny post! We are a family 20 months into an open ended trip around the world and looking forward to our time in South America ( after our long stays in Europe & Africa). Glad I found your site!!

oh, my, DUHL-cha duh Luh-CHA, made me choke on drink of water. When I read it to myself, I read it as ducha de lucha (a fighting shower). I was having a senior moment because I caught myself thinking “Who do they think all the short ladies in the huapils are?” then I remembered that you are in Chile.
I have a friend who has lived in Yucatan for 30 years, but looks (as her daughter says) like she just got off the plane from Canada. Anyway, one day in Centro she took pity on some lost tourists and helped them out. When they thanked her, one of the things they did was compliment her on her excellent English.Being the polite Canadian that she is, she thanked them.
regards,

Haha, oh well…We all have our moments. By the way, Mr. Pretzel’s cinnamon-sugar soft pretzel is almost delicious enough to motivate me to make the hour-long trek to a mall.
