hondostyle Of course, Antropologo, we love the Halls mints... the dulces:) We just got a kick out of it, just like I'm sure they get a kick out of some of our cultural gems:) We've actually talked about it with the Hondurans, and we all laughed about it. The kids in my Honduran family saw it as candy, and I bought them Hall's mints knowing that they loved them. I'm sorry that the comments offended you, but just know that they didn't offend my Honduran friends and family:)
OMG I used to live in SPS and I cannot believe that those American chain restaurants are still doing that! One day we walked out of Ruby's on a Sunday evening and were handed a Halls on our way out...this is just Hondostyle. It makes sense once you have experienced the city for awhile. They probably saw the American name and figured...sure this will work. I love that city. - Molly
Cultural Insensitivity You'll find that all over Honduras, people enjoy Halls mints as a dulce or candy. Your comments disparaging this practice is culturally insensitive and demonstrates that you are not a particularly well-seasoned traveler.
Stay home in Kansas! You're just adding to the Ugly American mythos. - Antropologo
I'm an adventurous girl who loves traveling and experiencing different cultures. Last year I taught incredible K students at a bilingual Christian school in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. This year instead of finding a full-time teaching job, I decided to go away from the norm and travel to Hawaii and New York City during the summer and to Europe in the fall on a backpacking excursion. I recently returned from the vacation of a lifetime, and I'm looking for jobs, adventurous friends, and new hobbies in Des Moines, Iowa in order support my traveling addiction:) ... full info
