Gringos Beware!

Their is an expression in Chile that if you don´t look in the eyes of the person you cheers with, then you´ll have bad sex for five years. The Germans and the French feel strongly about eye contact on the cheers but not as strongly as the Chileans. I have the most trouble getting eye contact in the States. Italy, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden always rendered a good eye lock. But eye contact in the United States is so rare that I get a thrill from a good Cheers when I´m home. So if you´re reading this, consider raising your eyes when you raise your glass.
