After spending more than a year and a half in Chile, we have a list of tips on how to “stay a gringo”…
- Fear body contact and people standing close to you.
- Avoid colectivos (shared taxis) because it’s a sweaty and too personal experience.
- Get very upset if things don’t work out as planned.
- Tell it as it is. Doesn’t matter if ‘they like it or not’.
- Insist on having a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ as an answer.
- If you’re an independent woman, insist on paying the bill.
- Wear shorts when it’s freezing cold.
- Initiate state of the art political discusions
