Very Chilean

I’ve tried to formulate a list of things that I’ve noticed about Chile you might not see in the states. I thought I’d share…
-Store owners put saw dust in the entryway when it rains, it’s supposed to soak up the water so you don’t slip
-All milk is “long life” which means it can stay on the shelf until you open it
-Chileans heat up their milk before they put it in a hot beverage
-Pet dogs wear clothes in the winter, street dogs don’t
-Chileans say hi and bye to everyone in the room, sometimes twice before they leave
-When you order a drink at a restaurant they only fill the class half full
-Chileans peel everything that has a skin: tomatoes, apples, pears, etc. you can eat the peels, but it’s recommended that you soak and wash first
-Chileans think it’s rude to bring the check to you at a restaurant, you must always ask for it when you’re done
-Usually we eat sandwiches with butter as the spread, not mayo
-It’s called blond sugar, not brown sugar
-They’re called sea wolves, not sea lions
-You keep your cloth napkin in you lap, your paper napkin by your plate
-At meal times, please keep both hands on the table
-Jellies, mayo, yogurt, etc. are most often packaged in plastic bags, not tubs
-Some streets are two ways during the day and one way at night
-You can't turn right on red (driving) unless there's a sign that says you can
