How Public Displays of Affection Demonstrate Cultural Liberalism
If there is anything that surprised me about Chilean culture, it is the sheer openness with which locals show romantic affection to one another in public places. In subway cars, shops, plazas, and especially bus/train stations, couples casually French kiss, with not a care in the world that there are hundreds of people around that are baring witnessed to their romantic displays. They just pick a spot, hold hands, face each other, and start making out, loudly and at length.
