The Jesus Signs In Argentina Are Adorable

(Mendoza, Argentina)

They’re way more relaxed than the Jesus signs I’ve found all over the United States, which are usually either too serious

kind of scary

or a little sensitive

Awwww, Chileans Are So Sweat, Translating the Graffiti For Us Like That.

I think that’s a translation at least. Or maybe an American just added onto this profound train of thought.

This reminds me of another romantic graffiti artist I came across in NYC last fall

For real though, this truly was the sweetest graffiti art I’ve ever seen (from Taos, New Mexico)

Bathroom Doors In Chile

I saw these bathrooms at a bar the other night

This was the inside of the women’s bathroom. (I didn’t go in the men’s)

Although it might look like she’s about to get it from behind, I’m pretty sure she’s supposed to be squatting. That’s what you have to do here because none of the public bathrooms have toilet paper and the seats are usually soaked in piss. Since I can never remember to bring TP when I go out on the town, I always end up having to wipe with teeny tiny pieces of paper I find in my pocket, like receipts.

This reminds me of a bathroom I found in Iowa six years ago.

This is the inside of the women’s bathroom. She’s happy because she didn’t have to squat.

So I Don’t Have Chilean Men Lining Up Outside My Front Door, But I Do Have Chilean Dogs

I swear I haven’t given them any food either. Only love!

Yesterday I Taught My English Class About Crime.

1) I don’t know why the word “protester” and “dolphin” were included in this lesson. I just went by what the book told me to teach.

2) Chileans only know the word “abduction” in terms of aliens.

3) I couldn’t figure out a way to describe what a burgler was without referencing The Hamburgler from McDonald’s. None of my students knew who this was, so I tried to explain Grimace and Ronald McDonald.

4) They knew who Ronald McDonald was after I wrote the word “clown” but couldn’t figure out what he had to do with rape or murder. I asked if they’d ever watch Law & Order Special Victims Unit but they had not. Apparently clowns in South American are not known for being creepy or child molesters like they are back in the States.

5) I really suck at drawing. Hamburgler looks ridiculous and my students thought Grimace was one of the bad guys from Pacman.

This was the most disturbing/hilarious class I’ve ever taught in my whole life.
