Causing havoc below the equator since Jan. 5

i won an argument in spanish

They party hard here in Chile. People don't get trashed really like they do in the U.S., but they don't go out until about 1 am and a lot of people stay out until the sun comes up, eat breakfast, then go to sleep. Some places' happy hours are from noon until 1 in the morning.

Anyways, I met the one other girl from Maryland Friday, and we decided to do a shot of tequila to celebrate our shared homeland.

Being drunk but coherent, I asked for 2 of their cheapest shots of tequila - the bartender tells me it's 4,000 pesos. I pull out a 10,000 note and give it to him, watch him put it in the cash register, and pull out a 1,000 peso note. Here's what the conversation went like:

him: you still owe me 3,000 pesos
me: I gave you 10,000, you owe me 6,000 pesos and 2 shots of tequila
him: no, you gave me this 1,000
me: I'm not stupid, I saw you put it in the cash register (except i don't know how to say cash register so i just point to it)
him: you owe me 3,000 pesos
me: forget it. i get it, i'm american and you can do whatever you want. keep my pesos and keep my shots, i don't even care anymore

Then I stormed off outside back to our group ... a couple minutes later a manager comes up to me and apologizes. He tells me that they're bringing out my shots and here was my money back. I'm awesome.
