So apparently a couple decades ago in Chile there was a law that made divorce extremely complicated and it was repealed a couple, like I said, a decade or so ago, but it has perpetuated the culture of nobody getting married. So a lot of people, they've been together 60 years, they have six kids, they live a life together, but they have not been married. So you can run into a lot of broken families, people that dated, had a few kids, broke up, a lot of girls get young, get pregnant very young, 14, 15, 16, 17, they have their second kid when they're 19, different guy. So it creates a lot of issues and economically it puts pressure on them, the women have to work, the men sometimes don't stand support. So just understand that a lot of people are going through extremely hard times. So family's important in Chile, but there's a lot of broken families.

Clothing in Chile is a lot like clothing in the United States of America. So don't be surprised that their clothing looks a lot like ours. I went and looked up in a picture book what clothing looked like in Chile, and it only showed pictures of their traditional dress, which is the way that I think people dressed in the country part of Chile in the 1800s. People don't really dress like that now. They dress just like the way that people dress in the United States.

They live kind of like day-to-day, so like every day they just go to the little market on the corner, get their food, things like that. They don't really buy things for long periods of time. They're very close and huggy and things like that.
