Guatemalan culture

This may not mean a whole lot to most of you. But if you know anything about Guatemala or have ever been here, you will understand. As ridiculous as these things seem, they are true and we think this article is hilarious. So enjoy if you can.


You Might Be A Guatemalan If...

You tan easily. Your salsa dancing skills are impeccable. You have an inexplicable affinity for black beans. As you may already have suspected, it’s possible that you’re Guatemalan. While no known cure exists, early detection is key. With that in mind, the following are the top ten symptoms....
1. The only safety devices on your car are a horn and a “Dios Me Guia” sticker.
2. You’re 34 and still live with your mother, who still lives with her mother, who still lives with her mother.
3. You’d rather decline a sale than make change for a Q100 note.
4. You use the classic Guatemalan 5-0-0 (5 forwards, zero midfielders, zero defenders) alignment in your papifutbol matches.
5. You drive a low-rider. Not because you’re into the whole early ‘90s L.A. style, but because 15 of your friends are riding in the back.
6. Your national tree is sponsored by Gallo.
7. Your kid’s lemonade stand has an armed guard with a shotgun outside of it.
8. You reserve firecrackers for special events, such as birthdays, Mother’s Day, when your half cousins twice removed graduate from colegio, that time you found a good parking space, etc.
9. Like an ant, you can carry twice your body weight without breaking a sweat. We’re assuming ants don’t sweat. But who really knows?
10. In lieu of a period, you end every sentence with the word “serote.”
