→Understanding the Region
The same applies to all Turks and Arabs and other Middle Eastern nations may be up to Pakistan. In Chile they are all “Turcos” no matter from where they are. Being from one of the Muslim countries of this part of the world and you are a "Turco". Only Israelis get distinct out of this group because they travel this region in large numbers. They are normally referred to as “Israelitas” and hardly ever as “Jews”. There is practically no anti-Semitism but some annoyance with young Israelis because of their behavior. They travel after a long and tough military service and try to get as far as possible with as little as possible money. They tend to break the rules more often (as many youngsters of this age tend to do), they often bargain for the lowest price (what is not common in this part of the world and sometimes perceived offensive) and they tend to travel in groups of their own without seeking much interaction with others.
