Chileans are great at taking their time doing everything...but, by golly, when they are ready to go somewhere, they are ready!
There is no such thing as a line in Chile, or at least they all think they can just walk to the front of any line. It drives me nuts!
Skiing, they see the lift and it is like herding cows.
On the metro at rush hour it is push or be pushed.
I find this interesting because I recall someone, in Vail, getting in an arguement, a huge shouting match, because the Chilean was unnecessarily pushing and shoving as the other person was getting on the lift.
One thing about living abroad for a bit is you really get a sense of how people operate within their culture...then you can apply it at home in the midst of a cultural miscommunication. We will see how my patience is for that when I get home.. ha ha...
