What's dark and drab and covered from head-to-toe?
A Chilean in the springtime.
What's bright and obnoxious and "scantily" clad?
A gringo in the Chilean springtime.
Seriously, Chile.
Lighten up. If I dressed like this collective nation, I would have a heat-stroke before I made it out of the apartment.
It's hotter than blue blazes. Meanwhile, my host family is buttoned-up to the gills.
I maintain, now is not the time for black turtlenecks.
But all you have to do to earn a disapproving look in this country is show the tops of your elbows.
Shorts? No way, Jose.
And sandals?
Whoo buddy, you're asking for a turned-up nose.
If Chileans insist upon dressing for a blizzard, there are going to be some stinky metro rides in my immediate future.
Eep!
