Living in Guatemala we have learned some valuable things that we want to share with you…
• Pepto Bismol is best drank straight from the bottle
• How to divide any number by 7.5 (The exchange rate)
• Showers are about being as efficient as possible
• Honking is the best way to stop any car who even thinks about slowing down
• Tap water does not mean potable water. We haven’t drank from a tap since May 17
• 9 AM means 4 PM
• You can buy surgical anesthesia from any drugstore
• Prepaid cell phones are better than contracts
• Corn is best eaten off roasted coals with salt and lime
• There are two types of rain, and the gentle rain makes you sick
• In aforementioned rain, all work must stop
• Babies are bundled tightly regardless of the temperature or season
• You can spot an American tourist from a mile away, no matter how hard they try they NEVER blend in
• You can actually buy movies on DVD BEFORE they hit the US theaters
• Prices marked are merely a suggestion
And we wouldn’t trade this knowledge for anything in the world.
