Blame the Spaniards- they fully deserve it! Except, after some months in Sth America, our departing flight (travelling with a mate) was Rio to Madrid. Gotta stay in Madrid for a while then, right?
Loved the people, crazy bunch of locos. Loved Madrid. I just find it impossible to dislike people, especially people that live life to the full like that. Oh, well, blame the Conquistadors.
Spanish is the lingua franca of many different peoples. There is definitely a kind of caution, a kind of begrudgement, among the Quechua with respect to ole' whitey- or was back then. I can understand why, too. But I am sure if you took the time to get to know them a bit, and spoke the rudimentary lingo (that never does any harm) you would pierce the shell, be accepted as an individual, and find a very likable people beneath. But the onus is on you- they don't great you with garlands. Not so far different with honkies & Cantonese actually.
In contrast, I found the Chilenos to be some of the warmest, most outgoing people I have ever encountered.
No, I absolutely don't. But everyone already knows what an embittered little dweeb you are.
