Rednecks?

Oh communication can be so difficult at times. While trying to buy my ticket to communication (a telefono for contact within Chile), I couldn't communicate with the cajas in the phone store. Como??? Oh shit. Why is my Spanish so awful sometimes?

But around the corner came a bilingual Chilean, like a saint sent from above. Oddly enough in his translating process, he noticed the words stitched on my jacket. "Iowa?" he asked. Apparently the guy lived in my home state 25 years before in the city of Fort Dodge. He described the town in one word, rednecks.

Como?

It really is a small world, after all.
