    Your instincts and how quickly you can assess a situation and determine how to react is phenomenal. Suss’ing out he wanted to tear your tickets up and making the u-turn on the road saved a bad situation from turning into a very bad one. He was so confident about everything he did, so he’s done this before and knows he has plenty of backup.

    Tough story to share Christian but you did the right thing by posting this video. These sort of experiences can be hard to overcome but don’t let these people bring you down. Actually, I think you’ve proved it here that you won’t let that happen. Keep doing what you love, and what we love watching.

    As a Chilean this is so embarrassing, I’m really sorry this happened to you. I visited Easter Island in April 2019, and during that time they had an issue among the two groups in the Island the parks were technically free entrance “ HOWEVER” at the park entrance you had the opposite group charging. I truly believe this guy wanted to destroy your ticket. I have heard of other people just trespassing during the time of the conflict in 2019 but they were never treated this way. Calling your girlfriend an idiot is unimaginable, he definitely wanted to fight you so glad you were clever enough to avoid it. Sadly locals are not very friendly, logically there were a few exceptions of nice islanders but the friendliest people were from the continent. I hope this goes away and I thank you for making this public.
