When Chile was a Spanish colony (1541-1810) the goods produced could not be sold anywhere, since free trade was prohibited by the Spanish crown, in the case of liquor, it could only be traded in the port of Pisco, now Peru. Thus, the producers of Chilean liquor, had to send their products to this port and from there to trade, this liquor was called "liquor for Pisco" in reference to the place where it was going, as Chileans tend to shorten all words, with the As time went by, the "brandy for" was taken away and it remained only as "Pisco". Note that pisco is the most popular alcoholic drink in Chile, not in Peru, where they were hung up on the Chilean success of this product, from the 90s.
It’s always interesting to learn about different tipping cultures. I regrettably didn’t understand tipping in the US until after college and I live here! The good thing for servers now is I’ve been making up for my oversight ever since!
Thanks for the tips. I will follow them when I travel to Chile. By the way I love the couch in your apartment. Beautiful brown leather. 🤎 At least it looks leather to me.
I didn't know that we do that with the salt, but I realized that we do it unconsciously. It's really uncomfortable when someone passes the salt on your hand but I didn't know why, thanks! greetings from Chile
In most African cultures (southern Africa to be specific) you don't pass salt hand to hand as well, otherwise, you will have a fallout with the person. You are supposed to put it down near them.
Hey there! Thanks for all these tips in Chile, it's actually helpful for my job right now. Are you in Chile now? I need help finding people there that speak English.
I was in Chile in the 60's. It was the custom then that if you sat at the counter at a restaurant, you didn't tip. If you sat at a table, you did. Also, I never saw a salt shaker then; salt was served in a little cup and you dipped it out with your knife. Don't know where the pass the salt superstition came from.
well, a im from the capital too and i used to do the thing about the salt. my uncle was from a rural area and for respect to they culture we follow one or too superstitions for she
Men yo soy de la capital y a pesar de que en lo personal me da lo mismo, yo nunca paso la sal de mano en mano pq me ha tocado gente mas supersticiosa, principalmente de gente mas vieja.

Mmmh, I don't think we are much concern about who created Pisco, about salt!? I never heard it, no idea where you got that, maybe is a very old school thing. I would say the only good one from the five things you mentioned is the first point. I am from Chilean Patagonia (which is massive) but if I see someone in my area smoking or trying to make a bonfire...I will punch him in the face :)
@@30AndAWakeUp what a moron! This dude is telling you that your video is WRONG! and all you do is avoid answering, and liking your own comment Stop making videos about things you don't understand.
Hey Kevin you are so organized and I apreciate that because your YT channel is visually inviting to me :), I may recommend you title your "non US/non Vanlife videos" as "International videos" (instead of "from the beginning") then when you add more and more to that category, separate those per country instead. I wish you travel internationally very soon. P.S. I am about to have seen all your videos ;)
so technically if you were super peeved with a friend and felt really sure about permanently severing ties with them you could just Place a salt shaker 🧂🤲 into their open palms thats so cool or break up with your girlfriend the same way no need for saying anything else LoL 😅 as a way of expressing i don't care LoL
OK, I know this is one year old, but with Chile very high in the world of vaccinations, I am thinking this November. I might have to get the number for Gert. Thanks Kevin, may be in touch.
I’m from chile and I’ve never heard of half of those. Table manners is a must in chile.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Me too. Born. raised an educated to college level there... never heard -lest experience- any of these.
Also never "tip" the police. You'll spend the rest of your trip behind bars.
Good point!
Where are bribes legal?
@@theodour8617 well, in other countries like argentina, colombia, venezuela, etc, It is normal that even the police sometimes ask you for a bribe xd

I am actually having a hard time finding people in Chile that speak English. I found one on Linkedin. Are you there now?
So true! I have no idea what they are saying. And I’m Cuban!
@@trishl707 same from us, we dont understand a single word when cubans speak, your tropical accent is difficult to understand.

So pisco is from Portugal?
I’m Chilean and yep, I have done the salt thing in the past (not anymore) and my aunties also do it sometimes :)
Thanks for sharing Gabo and Nati.
I know you are in Australia, but do you know anyone in Chile that speaks English I can share my project with?
Hello, nothing to do in quarantine so I figured to watch one of your videos!
Thanks Erica! Stay safe!!!!

haha...i always overtip....I think that's a good bad habit to have.

Yeah, great couch for sure!
Why only a bit of views? This is amazing! Since this quarantine in Malaysia is getting a bit longer, I thought I’d watch your videos :) Your the best!
Thanks Milky! I am going to make another Malaysia video soon!
Oh I’m excited! :) btw, how are you? And how’s your day so far?

Stay safe

Yep...everything is good! Thanks for asking.
The last one is the same in my country!
yeah...that's a common one for sure.

Number 4 could be true, but 50 years ago. Nowadays we don't care about the salt thing.

yeah...kind of funny
I've never heard the salt thing, and I am chilean
yeah...i think it's older...
The Salt? I've never heard about.... Chilean born...
Yeah, i found it interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
chilean here, the salt one is just not true
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I am chilean and it is true. Is an older thing. Si pasas la sal a alguien sin dejarla antes en la mesa, supuestamente vas a pelearte con esa persona.
