Hi everybody! Now it's time to talk about our dear September, when we celebrate the nacional day.
18th is the day of the First Government Junta in 1810, and our independence from Spain. Every year Chilean people get festive and prepare themselves to enjoy this day through different chilean traditions, like dancing cueca, eating barbecues and empanadas, drinking chicha and so on. That's a special day indeed, and personally I like eating so much in this holidays :D
But what does it mean being chilean? well, I think we're not the best country over the planet, but people here is nice and good, in spite of we have lot of cultural defects...foreign people treat us as thieves (maybe they're right a little). We used to talk bad (I mean, we eat some final word letters like "s" or "d").
We sometimes are ignorants and we make things without thinking so much, a little impulsive in my opinion.
We argue with peruvians about who is the owner of "pisco"(what a foolish thing to argue for xD)
also we discriminate against other cultures.
We leave things to the last moment, that's called procrastination, commonly in the most of us, maybe because we are too lazy to do things at time or any other reason.
Even all things mentioned, we have sense of humor and we look life with optimism, trying to do our best.
Personally I think if we had been conquered by British people, things would be different here, maybe we would have more strenghts than weaknesses, certainly we would be like American people, with blue eyes and blond hair haha
Anyway, we are what we are and that's all, don't you think it?

benja,
well done!! I'm impressed since not man people know the word procrastination (and we are the experts of doing that) Now, I think this you should have explained a bit more your statements with examples such as what are the empanadas etc...

miss
