Staff and all local population speaks exclusively on Spanish . Even if you try to speak English or German and accidentally, it will be so that people will understand what you are, most likely they will find your actions offending and disrespectful. They do not like it, do not doubt. These people love their tongue very much and if you respect other people's orders, it is better to respect their etiquette.
Tip here not to leave not accepted , as in all South America. The service personnel will surprise and may consider this your gesture offensive, very secured people live in Chile and you will not surprise anyone there. And yet you are in the capital of the state more developed than all countries around it, you should not forget about it either.
In any Internet cafe You will be provided with telephone and Internet communication services. Either you can buy Six Cart Local To choose from:
- Intel
- Movistar.
- CLARO.
I advise you to try Movistar, we have become fans of this network still in Ecuador. Pluses her several, for example
- she catches the network better than the rest of the providers
- It allows almost unlimited Internet access
- Internet cheaper
- Calls cheaper
- The company provides several tariffs
In fact, of course, to solve you, but we also enjoyed Clara. Heaven and earth of course. Claro, in the literal sense of the word, burned the whole balance on the phone for half an hour, and this happened even if the phone was completely turned off or was not on the network.
Let me remind you that Chile is not poor and millionaires here enough. But also in such countries There are thefts You can not be insured from everything in the world. Naturally there are people rich, but there is not very. Hence the indestructible desire to take possession of someone's good. But if you are a simple tourist, not covered with heads to the head of gold-diamonds, then you have nothing to fear. My husband and I came to Chile with a bunch of equipment and several plastic cards and felt well the poor. No one here is not doing to your laptop phones. But you need to not forget about elementary precautions.
Local deep Figures on tourists In general, especially on Russian tourists. Because they are passionate about their concerns. And because white people are not uncommon here.
Girls riding safe . Here is civilization. No man will do vulgar hints in your side if you don't want it yourself. Especially this is not a place to search for cavaliers, men here are expaid female attention. The girls are all like a selection - slender and beautiful.
Smoking here everywhere and many. I compare with countries nearby to Ecuador. But not much like, say, in China or Russia. If you can not smoke in a certain place, it hangs a sign forbidding it. In some hotels, the prerequisite is "not smoking", and in some, on the contrary, the ashtrays are worth. Ask, interest. Anyone will be happy to prompt if you ask the Council. For sure Do not smoke in
- stores
- Hospitals
- Hospilles
- shopping centers
- Some cafes
In general, I want to say that the capital is not cheap! People earn good and sometimes difficult to find the hotel cheaper 30 thousand pesos (1500 rubles) So think well before going to relax in Santiago. Yes, the city can be called tourist, but this does not mean freebie . Findingors of the freebies are disappointed when they arrive here. It is not enough that you will spend about $ 100 per day for 1 person, so you will be forced to eat in the cheapest driving eaters, live in luggage. Clothes can be found and buy inexpensive. But you need to know the right places, the city is not small and the time needs to be searched. The subway can be learned well for the month. But this is not fast, given that many arrive for a couple of weeks.
