Answer 3

wake up drink cafe au lait, if on the outskirts you can still listen to the birds singing. Try to get to work early before 7 am to beat traffic.  at 10 am you have a coffee break and lunch at 12 and a second break at 2 pm before you head on home . your home at 4 or 5 depending on schedule toshare with kids and family. If our ambitious you go straight to your business or office and get home at 7 or 7:30 pm have dinner watch cable w family do homework with the kids and wrap up your day. Not to forget Guatemala City has spring time weather all year long..

Answer 4

Since most people in Guatemala City are extremely poor, they wake up early (4 or 5 a.m.) and head out to try and sell goods to make ends meet.  If they are lucky enough to have a steady job, that isn't working as a vendor, they go off to work and don't return until well after sunset.   Add in the crime element and they are trying to not lose their day's wages to robbers.  A lot of people run markets out of their houses and sell convience store materials.

I know from staying in the city away from the tourist areas that Water trucks come by starting at about 4 a.m. blowing horns to distribute water into 50 gallon drums for those that aren't lucky enough to have running water.

Basically, they do whatever they can to make a buck and survive.  That means everyone in the family, from the parents to the 6 or 7 year old walking around shining shoes.  It's really sad when you see someone shine your shoe and they charge 1 quetzal (about 15 cents in U.S. currency).  Not to mention they do a better job than most shoe shiners in the U.S. who charge a ton more.
