Rodeo Is a traditional sport in Chile. It was declared the national sport in
1962. It has since thrived, especially in the more rural areas of the
country. Chilean rodeo is different from the rodeo found in North America. In
Chilean rodeo, a team consisting of two riders and two horses ride laps
around an arena trying to stop a calf, pinning it against large cushions.
Points are earned for every time the steer is properly driven around the
corral, with deductions for faults. Rodeos are conducted in a crescent-shaped
corral called a medialuna.

Rituals

Many popular religious celebrations and processions
are held in Chile. One of the most colorful is the Festival of La Tirana. This festival is
celebrated for three days in July in the village of La Tirana, some 40 miles
inland from the northern port of Iquique, near the Atacama Desert. This
celebration is strongly influenced by the carnival of Oruro, Bolivia. During
the celebrations, some 150,000 people dance through the streets in colorful
costumes and devil masks. The Festival of La Tirana is an expression of the
religious blend between Catholicism and ancient indigenous practices.

Social norms

Chileans are in general less formal than other Latin
Americans, they definitively follow certain rules in social gatherings.
During formal occasions people shake hands in a restrained way, while good
friends may shake hands and embrace. Chilean women normally salute
acquaintances with one kiss on the right cheek. Chileans commonly use the
formal "you" to address persons, independently of the
interlocutor's social status. Chileans
are quite restrained in public spaces and restaurants and it is particularly
bad form to talk too loudly. Waiters are called "señor" and are addressed
in formal "you" form.

meal of the day is breakfast, which mostly consists of rather light fare
including toasted bread with butter and instant coffee with milk. Lunch is
the big meal of the day; traditionally two main dishes are served. The first
course may be a salad of some kind. A common salad is the ensalada chilena,
including sliced onions, chopped and peeled tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. The
second dish generally includes beef or chicken. Around 5:00 P.M. Chileans

A large majority of Chileans (73 percent) are
affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Some 15 percent of the population
identifies itself with several Protestant groups. This includes Anglicans and
Lutherans, but the vast majority of Chilean Protestants (90 percent) belong
to the Pentecostal Church. Another 4 percent of the population belongs to

Meals
People in England tend to have a light “continental” breakfast:
cereal and/or toast, perhaps fruit juice and tea or coffee. The traditional
“English breakfast” is a 3-course meal and a lot of homestays may not be
prepared to cook this.Lunch is normally a light meal, though some people like
to eat well at this time.Dinner is generally the main meal of the day, and
would consist of 2 or 3 courses. It’s not unusual to miss either the starter
or the dessert and have just 2 courses, and it’s not normal to have bread on
the table or to drink wine on a daily basis.
Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea, that most
quintessential of English customs is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new
tradition. Whilst the custom of
drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China and was
popularised in England during the 1660s by King Charles II and his wife the
Portuguese Infanta Catherine de Braganza, it was not until the mid 17th
century that the concept of ‘afternoon tea’ first appeared. Afternoon tea was
introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year
1840.
