So today is Friday, and neither Zach nor I have classes on Fridays. So that's really nice. Today we went out to lunch with our new German friend Antonia. After a lunch of grilled chicken, french fries, an orange, juice and some cream of asparagus soup, Antonia asked us if we wanted to go to an official Universidad de Concepción basketball game. So we decided that it would be a good thing to do, show some school spirit and whatnot. Anyways, after the end of the first game, womens basketball, I saw something that was so funny, I felt it was blog worthy.
And before I tell you what it was, I need to back up a bit. The customary greeting here when two girls meet, or when a girl and guy meet is for each person to give one kiss on the right cheek.
So at the end of this basketball game, I was pleasantly surprised, and laughed out loud when I saw that instead of the girls from both teams shaking hands or doing that slap-hands-while-walking by each other thing we do in the states, they all gave each other a kiss on the right cheek.
Now that's sportsmanship!
great story. thats sort of the experience I have in most of my travels... just like home only totally different.
