Vivo a 30 minutos de Santiago y lo que nunca entendi es porque no aprecian su Ciudad. No la ven, no la exploran, no conocen de su historia. Hay construcciones Art Deco , o Estilo Frances, plazas, pero no miran alrededor. Van a Estacion Central a diario y no paran un segundo a ver lo maravilloso de su forma, es un trozo de Europa a otro. Lo pisan y lo ven a diario. Concha y Toro es un trozo de París basicamente
Sii!! Toda la razón!
Es cierto conozco rincones hermosos; pero estación central ahora esta horrible
Siempre me acuerdo que un día ví a Conparini y Sánchez caminando por una calle que creía era Bandera ....pero era Madrid!, realmente hay mucha influencia europea en el centro de Santiago , calles que tienen casas que tal vez fueron mansiones en su tiempo....una maravilla
Porque ya se acostumbraron a ver eso.
Yo crecí aca en Stgo. en varias comunas y a las afueras tmbn, me fui a Europa a vivir durante 6 años viaje por 11 paises y ahora llevo casi 3 años de vuelta aca y me vine pq extrañaba esta riqueza de país y eso que todavía no conozco el sur :D
I still get goosebumps when I think back to flying into Santiago, the size of los Andes is hard to comprehend.
It's really amazing isn't it?! The sights from up high are incredible!
@@JonGrossGringo looks a lot like Los Angeles minus the beach!
I speak fluently 5 languages spanish is one i loved it in chile. Buena comida in chile
Siiiiii!!!! y wow 5 idiomas! Nice!
gracias...!, por opinar tan bien del país y es un verdadero halago viniendo de un extranjero ..!, que inclusive conoce más del país que muchos chilenos, nuevamente gracias...!
Lindo pais, las personas muy lindas. solo el Gobierno no lo acepto. Antisemita y descriminacion, socialista y no es bueno. el pais lindo, las personas buenas pero muy racistas en el gobierno
@@leongolden7549 todos los países tiene su belleza, pero te equivocas, en Chile, apenas somos racistas, ni remotamente nos parecemos a los Eeuu, en donde si son racistas, la gente de raza oscura que vive peleando en contra el racismo, llegan a ser inclusive mas racistas que las otras etnias, y para que hablar de los israelitas, que ellos se autocalifican de ser primero judios y después aceptar la nacionalidad del país donde nacieron, (haz visto alguna vez un audio de raza oscura), me parece un chiste irónico, lo que si en chile somos MUY CLASISTAS, pero eso no tiene nada que ver con el racismo, en cuanto al gobierno socialista muy cercano al comunismo que hoy tenemos y que inunda toda America latina es muy malo aquí y en todas partes del mundo, y Eeuu., lamentablemente no ha logrado escapar de las garras de los zurdos, ya que se disfrazan haciéndose llamar DEMOCRATAS, pero son la misma porquería que la izquierda, solo que un poco atenuado, pero al final es lo mismo.
For the people who love mountaineering like me, Santiago is a paradise. You have some of the most impressive peaks of the Andes in a few hours ond
you could climb a different hill every day without repeating any summit.
Terremotos !!!!!!!!!!!
Terremotos !!!!!!!
Terremotos !!!!!!!!
Gracias..Santiago tiene sus encanto....sólo hay que mirar ...
El gran problema son de algunos pocos que se creen "artistas" rayando por todas partes ...lo demas sus alrededores son y aun se mantiene ese aire criollo campechano.👏👏👍
siiiii exactamente! Tienes razón si!
Sii todo rayado eso me enferma todo se mira desarreglado tango graffiti me choca
@@rusmagonzalez2649 eso es falta de cultura, respeto y amor por lo nuestro, valores que hemos ido perdiendo, ni en los hogares ni en los colegios enseñan tanto hoy en dia. Me da mucha pena de ver sectores de Santiago destruidos, sucios y que se vean tan pobre. Tenemos que cuidar nuestro país tan maravilloso. Los extranjeros que llegan también tienen que ayudarnos a cuidar nuestro querido chile.
Se ven increíbles las tomas que haces con la cámara, Ultra8K jajajajja
jaja muchas gracias!!!!! Estoy mejorando!
Jon es seco con las tomas!
Una buena manera de aprender español es como nosotros aprendemos ingles.... Viendo películas!!!!!! jajajajja, ademas es muy entretenido....
Hi John, I just wanted to say that I came across your videos and I love them. I am proud to say that I was born in Chile and Now live in the states. However through your videos I get to live vicariously through the adventures that you share. Please keep them coming I would like to suggest a video right in regards to real estate And how that works in my hometown! Soy orgullosa de ser Chilena!
Que lindo escucharte siempre positivo Jon. Me encanta que encuentres siempre lo bueno de nuestro Chile. Gracias. 😉
Me encantó el vídeo, es genial saber las primeras impresiones de personas de otros países cuando llegan a Chile jajajaj muchas felicidades💕
Me gustan tus vídeos , siempre ves de una manera positiva a Chile, algo qué a veces no vemos nosotros mismos que vivimos acá 🌊🌄✈️🗻
This is the best way to learn english as a chilean.
Great videos btw. 👌👌
Nice impressions, Jon. I have been away so long, if I were to land back in Santiago it would feel like a totally different country.
It really has changed a lot in just the few years we've been here but much is still the same. Anytime you're gone for years things are going to be different of course.
@@JonGrossGringo So true. I used to live in Toronto and every time I visit there it's changed.
Hola, me alegro qué estes en Chile y conoscas Linares en la region del maule,yo Vivo cerca,en LA comuna de Colbun. Me encanto Tu video y comensare a seguirte.saludos!!
I’ve always wondered how different it would be! I guess every place is unique and has their pros and cons!
Me encantan tus videos❤
Muchas Gracias!!!
5:50 "Graffiti in the United States is something really really bad. You never put graffiti anywhere". That is quite a statement, Jon.
Just to be clear, I do not agree with John’s statement. Jon does his best to be respectful, kind, and culturally aware. But like all of us, he is biased. I strongly believe graffiti is also part of American culture.
I saw very bad graffiti in most major cities in the US
@@jotocafulDoes that make graffiti something "really really bad"?
@@luisdeocares2087 No. What I meant is that I saw a lot of graffiti.
@@jotocaful Yes, There is a lot. First I thought that Jon was talking about graffiti used by gangs. But clearly, it is not. I am baffled. The implications are not good. at all.
Great video Jon!
Hola Hermoso amanecer son muy lindos los vídeos Chile es increíble y vivimos tan apurados y son tantas las preocupaciones nos hace falta reír y mirar nuestro entorno un abrazo Jon que sigas con exito.
Muy bien 👌 "gringo John". Haces buenos vídeos. Entretenidos y positivos. Continua así. 👍
You must go to termas Puyehue or huilo huilo in the south of the country
Gracias Jon, hacía mucho tiempo que no veía el amanecer en Santiago, me encantó!!
Hola simpático es tu forma o estilo de admirar lo realmente bello que es Chile y bellezas además si viajas norte o sur todo te encantará... Disfruten con tu hermosa familia.. Abrazos
Bravooooo Jon!!! Bellísimo video!!
Jon, I recommend Berlitz for Spanish classes. They have classes online. I worked there for 18 years, and it's really nice to see how students who speak very little Spanish, or none at all, improve so much. The same with English classes.
I moved to California from Santiago 23 years ago and have never been back. My trip back is getting to be possible very soon. I know it’s going to be very emotional it’s frightening
Well in the 80´s New York subway was full of graffitis
graffiteros rayenseloyooooooo! your Spanish is great and so are your videos.
Tendrias que visitar:POMAIRE..En la region metropolitana...cuna de la alfareria y de las famosas empanadas de 1/2 kilo...!!!
Tus vídeos son excelente para esta pionera en lenguaje del inglés ... aprendo varias cosas.
Que crack genio me gusta mucho tu contenido y videos geniales que haces saludos desde el extremo sur de chile 👍
A city with many grafitis in the US is Portland, you can find grafitis on many streets of the city
One thing very Chilean, is to orientate yourself using the mountains, the Andes, if they are to your left, you are facing South and if they are to your right you are facing North. If you are born and rised in Chile you have the cardinal points sense connected to the mountains. Wherever you are in Chile the sun comes from the mountains and goes to the Pacific ocean. But you NEVER think about these facts. They are part of the internal hard disk you are born with like the air surrounding you.
The problem is when you are a Chilean, with this auto orientating system built in you, and come out of Chile. You wake up, start walking a few steps on any street, and you are instantly lost. The horrible sensation of not knowing where is North, South, East and West, it really hits you badly, because you have NEVER experienced anything like it. The problem get worse if you happen to be on the Northern hemisfere, because you brain see the sun comming up from South East, not from the North East, shifting you senses many degrees, and it is not comming from the mountains so it tells you "is a sunset", and you think, wait a minute, that is not right! Where is North????? OMG!!!
When you look around and for the first time in your life you see no mountains nor an ocean somewhere, your heart sunk in sadness, you feel like a fish out of water. Absolutely out of place, and you cannot help it. You are empty, there is no home for you like that. No mountains!!!! What???
Then you understand that those magnificent piles of rock that you always had next to you all of your life, and never appreciated, are really a part of you, if you are a true Chilean. So if you ever go back to the USA and miss the mountains, then you can consider yourself a born again Chilean.
When you are going back to Chile and you see huge mountains everywhere from the air. You heart says "Mom I´m home!!!"
It's true. Chile = Mountains. 🇨🇱🏞️💖
Try el Mercado la Vega in Santiago. The prices for vegetables and fruits are super low compared to the markets here in Paris and much cheaper than in the U.S. (of course Linares is a lot cheaper). Or the Mercado Central and its seafood restaurants. Or talk about real estate property rights in Chile, that is also another interesting subject with all the tomas taking place there.
I used to live in santiago (now I'm living in La Serena), but I was born in Concepcion. I love all
Moses is an amazing kid !!! He grows son quick !
Awesome fx
Ojalá algún día nos muestres la carretera Austral 🇨🇱...Buen video Gracias Gringo-Chileno 😁👍
My friend john ! santiago doesnt have 8 million people ...the layout is funny if u see the metro region map ..city ..it even goes to the coast it includes melipillia pomaire and curacavi part of the metro area and you know its rural there .city itself is about 6 million...santiago metro technicaly has one of the largest land area of the world
Hi john !! Great tv show !
Brother can u do a tour of Chile’s wineries, restaurants , let’s talk about food !!!!
Cheers
Yes!!! I’m there are so many options! Thank you so much!!!
Ooh!!...Salió mi Arica Querido..
Oye Jon.. Tienes que juntarte con el otro Gringo el de las Bicicletas Ecológicas.. El te puede enseñar el Español Chilensis... Saludos Jon de Arica zona Norte de Chile.
From where exactly are you from , Jon? Which state ?
Are International students coming to Chile? I have applied Visa from China and still waiting. Could you guide me ? What is the status regarding Visa application/procedure?
Aguante, Jon!!! :)
Estamos todos encerrados, pero podemos crear formas de divertirnos en casa. Hace un año ya que estoy en mi casa, porque trabajaba a dos mil kilómetros de mi ciudad, y siempre tengo algo en qué entretenerme.
Espero que tengas la oportunidad de viajar por la #CarreteraAustral.
Saludos desde la magia del sur.
Gracias por hablar también de mi país lo hecho mucho demenos y estoy acá EE. UU. isi me quiero ir pero como toda la vida se vasa sobre economía acá sigo pensando en lo hermoso que son nuestros países te deseo la mejor de las suertes y ojalá que esto se acabe
Good video and correct on your point of view. I think all big cities in USA have graffiti some more than others. What I found interesting was that rental cars at the airport are only stick shift , not entirely sure they offer automatic 🤷♀️ I did not have an option when I visited. Last time I had driven a stick shift was long long time ago but quickly had to be reminded. Ideas for your next video would be the role a senior citizen in a household. USA has nursing homes and Chile the older parent is a matriarch and respected and lives with extended family until the end.
Grande Tío Jon!!
Gracias!
Cuando vas hacer un vídeo en español ??
Jon, I'm still waiting for your video in spanish!!...saludos bro....
I been in Chile 3 times if some day I move I’ll like to live in the south close to the mountains 🏔 😎🤚😎🤚😎🤚😎🤚
Un gringo chileno
:)
Que edad tienes
Make a video about typical dishes. Carbonara, cazuela, charquican, etc
How's your spanish now?
Good comments Jon! Wow! Early riser! Is so true, when I go to Chile, I'm always in awe to see the magnificent Cordillera, fields and city from above, love it!! I hear you, arriving at an unknown place is intimidating and more so if you don't know the language, but you are pretty good now with Spanish 😊
I absolutely hate graffiti! Unfortunately big cities here in the US also have them. I think is a big disrespect for private or public property.
I bet you went to have breakfast with marraqueta..😁
John has hablado de comida Chilena, no se si has probado el pan con aceitunas amargas, eso se come mucho aqui en el norte de Chile, pan con mantequilla y aceitunas amargas, y te de hoja con hierva Luisa. Adoro los videos y ya estoy esperando el programa de esta noche, saludos!
No será "hierba" ?
@@boyanaskrbic que derroche de conocimiento, en mi defensa puedo decir que el corrector del celular no me ayudo mucho y yo tampoco me di cuenta, muchas gracias!
@@paulinamagana7343
Tengo una guerra constante con los extraterrestres que habitan en el teclado pero no vencerán. 😉😁🌹
Jon! Just noticed on your footage at the end where your drone is going up: Linares looks bit like the Chilean answer to The Simpson's Springfield, isn't it? And you're like Bart on his skateboard xD
Would be so funny you make a kind of Simpsons persiflage with the Simpsons melody, skating the town and zooming out with the drone over the town. xP
i have a an idea u shoudl try chelean seets ducles chilenos
2:50 en Santiago somos aproximadamente 6millones, un tercio del país
hey jon try to fix your camera audio
NO HAS PENSADO EN MANDARLE UNA BOLETA AL SERNATUR ?
Creo que en Chile no esperamos que los extranjeros sepan hablar en español y sí podemos ayudar a los que hablan Inglés porque aunque no sepamos hablar bien el Inglés, muchos sí entienden un poco. Si un "gringo" escribe lo que necesita es más fácil de entender.
Flaite and cachai come from your language, according what I read:
Cachai: Caught
Flaite: fly or flighting
viva Mexico
the graffitti (i don't mean street art), tagging, scrawling on walls, houses, vehicles, monuments, any surface in chile is really disgusting. along with the smog, which you can't do much about, these are the worst first impressions i think of santiago. it's really gotten out of hand, esp after the recent uprising. i hope it stops. the street dogs are also noticeable. this from a chilean-american.
May be ask us for new phrases in Spanish for you! Formal and informal
yo ojalá pudiera tener un ingles fluido amigo. :(
Francia vs Bolivia
How does this guy have subscribers
Hey dude
Puedes contar porqué siempre terminas diciendo CHAO PESCAO!
😷✌
Thanks for loving Chile more than a chilean do
Haha I do love Chile :)
La primera impresión que me dio cuando baje a EEUU fue.. de dónde me dispararán 😱 no me puse chaleco antibalas.
GRIGO EL ESPAÑOL ES MUY❤ FACIL ES JUNTAR LAS LETRAS
Santiago es una ciudad grande no tiene mucha belleza, lo mas bonito de chile son el sur que tengo la oportunidad de vivir ahí y el norte que hay lugares muy hermosos pero es mucho desierto sin vegetación, pero si tienen la oportunidad de hacer tirismo en chile vayan al sur, lastima que los turistas se quedan con la impresion de solo santiago
No graffiti here in the USA !!! What are you talking about gringo loco ?? Vivo en Chicago and there’s graffiti all around
The US has sooo much graffiti, and none of it is artistic
We don’t have hardly any in small town USA
No sé porque te avergüenza tu español Jon. En mi opinión lo hablas muy bien, me cuesta encontrarte cosas malas cuando te escucho. 🤷♂️
Me atrevo a decir que ya no necesitas clases..
Asi es👍
Chao pescado
When you fly into Santiago... you need to choose any A row seat ;) And be prepared to see the Aconcagua mount just before landing at SCL
YES! Absolutely spectacular my friend! shorturl.at/oxABH
Wena como andamos
Talk about how Chilean people are vs Americans. Do you think that American in general trust less to people?
A pero las poblas
Until you live in Chile, you will not know its importance in this world. That importance is family first! I have lived in Chile over 20 years. Been back in my country but two -- I can not wait to get back to Chile -- my home until my last breath. The big problems with North Americans; they do not breed healthiness, and they are not careful what they put in their bodies. I take herb-powders daily and long-term -- am 78 years of age, and have not seen any doctor for the last 8 years. Here are eight herbs put into one empty capsule each, and then taken daily and for many many years. Basil, rosemary, sage, horsetail, hibiscus, bold, dandelion and artemisia annua.
Saludame!
Saludos!
Is a old newss
Ser You tonight..
Eres el proximo embajaador turistico de chile
Espero que si!
Jon you are grosso
I imagine was pretty good, if not you were out by now
The first time I went back to Chile for vacation and saw graffiti everywhere, it was shocking but after a couple of weeks spending time over there I didn’t see them any longer 😂😂😂. A lot of big cities in the State have the same issue with graffiti. Love your channel!!
JON Tendrias que olvidarte una hora por dia de hablar en ingles y hacerlo en espaninglish..tus interlocutores te corregiran o explicaran cuando no entiendas o pronuncies mal una palabra...no hay mejor escuela que la calle...!!!
We that know you before your show in La Red think that the work they did with you is not the best. I hate that transition into black and white and the distortion of the sound that happens frequently. The camera is always like flying. Your TH-cam channel is clean and direct. That is not happening in your show. You must talk with the producers about this. hugs.
Los grafitis son lo mas feo de Santiago , no los que realmente son artísticos sino los que son solo insultos sobre insultos
No eres el único que se impacta un poco por los grafitis, tenia una amiga ucraniana que me decía lo mismo en su país no puedes hacer esto y honestamente hechas a perder muchas construcciones antiguas del casco histórico no se ve muy presentable otros grafitis pueden verse mejor en otros lugares
👀
Crime, and the lack of authority of the police, because they have a government that protects the criminal, makes it a dangerous place. I love USA, California... and I am Chilean.
About lerning another language. Can't tell you how difficul is when you Have to have your fliying trainnig in the USAF in jet airplanes
Even though yo have some expertise with the language. much worse if you are in San Antonio Texas
Too much Spanglish
A question
you know what means
Skawk Ident?
Slang of pilots
Regards
Los Grafittis como tal afean la ciudad y a mucha gente no le gustan Jon .
No es algo "normal" nuestras ciudades la ensucian con sus rayados, no confundir con arte.
Hay Grafittis bonitos pero también tonteras sin sentido.
Esa gente no creo que sea capaz de rayar sus casas🤔.
Poverty has always been with Chile. But it was really bad during Allende's time, another Venezuela, it got much better and then it got much worse again thanks to Bachelet opening the borders up to poor countries and having poor economic policies.
Jon, if you don't like this town or any other, just buy a one-way ticket to the US, we don't need foreigners, even being American. USA is not comparable with a poor third world nation, you might to be insane thinking that you had find a country powerful like the yours one. I say it seriously, Chile is a plce just for people who born here.
Thank you.
Too bitter.
What? 😢
Oh dear Chile is not a place just for people born there. Jon is giving his opinion. Look at all the vandalism and grofety in Chile. I know lots of chileans leaving because of it. We dont say America is just for Americans. When us Chileans are happy there.
I think you misunderstood him, he loves Chile. When he compares Chile & USA is according the state were he grew up. As chilena living in the State, when I visit Chile I see the difference too but it doesn’t mean is bad, it’s just different “Indiosincrasia de cada pais”. Don’t feel offended, there’s a beauty to have a different opinion.
@@valef7004 Ok, but I wonder if it is necesary. It's more than obvious that when you are American citizen and make a travel to SouthAmerica for living there (here) you will find differences due the idiosincrasia, customs, way of life, foods, cars, streets, avenues, climate, clean areas, neighborhoods, music, dancing native, folklore, meat, salads, houses, buildings, cakes, chocolates, etcetera. Doing q video highlifhring all that, dor what? I feel unconfirtable when a foreing makes a list of negative tips. Y eso, puh.
Jon muy politicamente correcto, los grafiti es la picanteria maxima , solo muestra la incultura, resentimientos de gente mediocre q solo quiere q le regalen todo , ejemplo tu en un video decias q trabajabas 60 hrs como profesor en chile los profesores la mayoria mediocre o malos q estudiaron esa carrera por no tener las capacidades para otra profesion , trabajan con suerte 40 y siempre estan en huelga se les aumentado el sueldo mucho andar a ver los autos que tienen pero siguen siendo ,malos profesores , en fin , para llegar a ser un pais desartollado nos faltan muchos años y con la gente de izquierda estatista mas .
Imagina rotear a los profesores jajaja
Que patetica esta gente , los grafitis en muchas ciudades ha sido considerado patrimonio, solo hay que ver valparaiso, pero bueno luego los sin cultura son otros
Facho detectado...
Siempre culpan a la izquierda y ka que gobierna es ka derecha,la cual a sido mezquina, abusador,ladrona,corrijan su actuar y cambiaran el país,los que tienen todo gratis son los carabineros y militares en general sin aportar NADA,traidores a la patria,esa es mi verdad y vivo en CANADÁ
Mi hermana es maestra y trabaja un montonazo, incluso se lleva trabajo para la casa. No es bueno generalizar.
Take the mask off your child. God dame it
