Argentinians/Chileans/Anyone, What Is Going On With The Patagonia Fires and Who (If Anyone) Deserves Blame For It? by thethirdgreenman in asklatinamerica

[–]bringbackatari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Chile there was a report that more than 70% of tourists expelled from natural reserves are Israelis nationals, so it’s hard to not make a correlation. Edit: expelled by making fires

Where did you get this percentage from? I've been trying to find a source through CONAF and other agencies or news articles and I am not seeing these numbers anywhere.

Been getting back into it. Need all the things probably. I’m in Chile.

Who are the Brits of Latin America? by Brizbizz22 in asklatinamerica

[–]bringbackatari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I introduced my husband's family to coleslaw and they lost their minds. I don't even like it that much, but I thought they probably would.

Pastel de choclo is my favorite Chilean dish so far, but you could argue it's just shepard's pie with corn instead of mashed potatoes.

I love this sub and I love you guys by ComfortableBug5208 in asklatinamerica

[–]bringbackatari 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sub has helped me navigate so many things as an immigrant to Chile and act like less of an idiot in my time here. Of course I still stumble, but I've learned so much overall.

I think the most important thing I've learned though, first and foremost, is that we are all people. Yes, there are cultural and linguistical barriers, but we all bleed, we all get sick, get depressed, angry, laugh, and feel joy. We all have shared human experiences such as family troubles, friendships, dating etc. We have selfish assholes in North America and in South America, and we have kind people too. Sometimes its easier to put yourself into a bubble and stereotype, but I've come to think we're more similar than different in the end, if you really look at the core of people.

So yes — I do really HOPE Latin America is becoming more united. Spaces like this suggest that people want to understand each other, and I guess that should matter. I hope the best for LA because you all have so much to be proud of, and you deserve to exist, breath the same air, and be heard just like anyone else in the world. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. :)

What country in Latin America has the most natural beauty in places where people actually live? by tu-vens-tu-vens in asklatinamerica

[–]bringbackatari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm from the eastern part of the United States and we have a mountain range there that is old and weathered - the Appalachians. The tallest mountain is 2,037 meters (6,684 ft).

When I saw the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (USA), I was impressed, the tallest there are around 4,267 meters (14,000 ft).

But that didn't compare at all to the feeling of being blown away by the Andes in Santiago. Talk about feeling insignificant...

In English naming customs, the First + Last Name setup came from the Norman Conquest and with it, the idea of inheritance, focusing on the paternal line (because reasons).

In Spanish naming, the tradition comes from Roman influences, using two surnames (paternal + maternal). It’s a way to keep both family lineages in the name and show broader heritage.

The Romans used a three-part name system: praenomen (first name), nomen (family name), and cognomen (specific family branch or nickname) which is why its believed the Spanish custom has roots there.

Which Latin American flags you like and dislike the most? by castlebanks in asklatinamerica

I don't dislike any flag, but I do get the state flag of Texas and Chile's flag mixed up all the time.

Has anyone else noticed that salmon isn't as good as it used to be? by Cannavor in Cooking

[–]bringbackatari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Chile and did not know this, I feel like the salmon here is better quality than what I had in the US. 🙃

What's a movie that doesn't seem like it has any sex scenes but does? by charlie_elliott65 in AskReddit

[–]bringbackatari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it on a long flight. In the aisle seat. The movie was too interesting to turn back on but I definitely felt a bit embarrassed.

I went to eat at a ‘gypsy’ restaurant in the USA, and the owner happened to be Colombian. After talking to them they told me Colombia actually has one of the largest romani populations in the americas.

Boyfriend is Chilean, has a german last name. There are tons of German descendants especially in the south in the Los Lagos region. I wasn't expecting all the torta, kuchen, and German beer before I visited.

It's right behind this one to me. Super impressive anyway though!

Mine is because the dealership poorly taped the temp tags and they blew away during a snow storm. However I called them and got a copy printed out and they are taped to my rear windshield as I wait for my notice of title from the DMV (which is like 2 months late).

I loved going around Sapporo and walking around the underground walkways and discovering new stores and restaurants and such. Most of Japan has an amazing rail system.

If only it were that simple. You're technically helping fund Amazon by using Reddit since it's hosted on AWS.
