Here are some observations about Chile:
1) There are occasional random signs in English, like "Fruits and Salad" at the salad bar of Unimarc, a supermarket.
2) A lot of the music is in English. At a pizza parlor, they played "Great Balls of Fire," "I Saw the Sign," "Born to be Wild," and "You're Still the One." All in the original English versions.
3) They sell oxygen-enriched water. Apparently it is supposed to increase oxygen levels and improve athletic performance. It just tastes like normal water to me, and I don't think I've had any great increase in oxygen.
4) All the milk is long life, and is not refrigerated before opening.
5) Crossing the street jaywalking is just as safe and easy as crossing the street legally. The drivers pay no attention to the walk signs, so I have become accustomed to always looking both ways.
6) When I bought a cell phone (for about the equivalent of $20) , I could not pay the same person who handed me the phone. I had to walk over to a cashier with a slip of paper, pay, return to the man with a receipt, and then take the phone.
