Dear Reader, When I checked out of my Santiago hotel room this morning, the message light on the phone was still flashing. Actually, multiple lights were flashing. Two on the phone by the bed, two on the phone on the desk and one on phone in the bathroom. I assume this means that someone called me, but I don't know who. The first time this happened was sometime last week. I never even noticed the flashing message lights until I turned off the lights to go to bed. When I picked up the phone, a recording of a woman's voice said (in English), "You have a callback request. You can still make a call by pressing * and dialing the number as usual." And then the phone dialed some number and started ringing. It was 11:30 pm and no one answered my call before the second ring which was the fastest I could hang up the phone. The lights blinked on. Out of curiosity about the way things work, I picked up the phone again, pressed * followed by the "voice mail" but...
