It was a ccouple of years ago that it all ended but there was a german group that was in CHile led by a german guy, Paul Schiffer,>>>he is another story really but back to the point>>>>he organized a "little germany" called colonia dignidad , which was maybe 2000 acres(nmaybe bigger...I don't remember...any way there were germans that were in chile and joined and then others that came over and went in to never come out...they had kids, had thier own supermarkets, schools, doctors and dressed in german clothes...there were children that were chilean born and spoke no spanish
Chile has a long history of foriegners coming in like this...a lead or advance comes in and then others follow.....I think schiffer had nazi ties although he was not old enough to have been that involved, so sometimes they could have some type of government ties...who knows...right now there is a german near panguipulli that has 5000 or so hectars and is a little spooky with what he is up too, but who realy knows.
In La Serena, in the north there are a ton of italians that were colonized after ww2 to farm and a ton of yugoslavs and Arabs(lots of stores like "media luna" in la serena) they have all been there for a long time.
Chile has a long history with israel and especialy recently(last 45 years) and so the israelis have alot of experience with CHile and most likely guidance from within as well as both governments as little nations in the shadows have traded alot of favors back and forth...(Chile has the largest palestinian population outside of palestine in the world) maybe ...maybe not ...it all gets spooooooky at this point thinking about it....tell your boyfriend to stay out of the way of the bulllets...
THat is the thing about CHile..anything can happen at any time and it will....
ciao, el puelche
