When invited to someone's home, Alejandro Aguilera provides some delightful advice: "Don't come on time... the clock doesn't exist." Many Latin Americans are amazed that North Americans know the ending times for social gatherings. How is it possible to turn off the emotion and simply say the party is over because it happens to be a certain time? When invited to a home, many suggest taking a bottle of wine or champagne as a gift. If you are going to be in the country for a few days, as Gioliana Vila and Armando Berdeja both observe, it is more likely to be invited to a restaurant and not to a home. An invitation to a home is more personal and less frequent. |
