===Remark to "Before you depart: Be careful to do this ..."===
If you expect me to name this person or to place a link to the mentioned web page then you misjudged my intention. I do not want to publicly humiliate this person but I want to share an important lesson learned with future hikers that can benefit from this experience. After an displeasing exchange of emails he actually started to exchange names to stop the inappropriately used the trail name. Therefore you can refrain from searching this person and simply learn from this [[#Before you depart: Be careful to do this ...|happening]].

===Remark to Being a Guest===
If you are from the Far East, you will often be considered a “Chino” no matter if you are from China or actually from Japan or Korea or any other country of this region. And please, don’t take it as an offence if you are i.e. of Japanese origin and called a “Chino”. Your part of the world is simply too far away from Patagonia and only few know the complicated and conflictive history of a so distant place.
The same applies to all Turks and Arabs and other Middle Eastern nations may be up to Pakistan. In Chile they are often all labeled “Turcos” no matter from where they are exactly. If you are affected you may try to explain from which country you are exactly but don't get frustrated if these differences are irrelevant in a mountain hut in the Andes. Just enjoy that you are first seen as person that came from a distant place without being instantly classified by your nationality.
Only Israelis get distinguished out of this Middle Eastern group of the "Turcos" because Israelis travel this region in large numbers. They are normally referred to as “Israelitas” and hardly ever as “Judíos” (Jews). When travelling Chile and Argentina I practically did not observe any anti-Semitism but occasional some annoyance with young Israelis. They travel after a long and tough military service, have typically a tight budget and try therefore to get as far as possible with the least amount of money necessary. They tend to break the rules more often<!--(as many youngsters of this age tend to do) ... Bethany: instead of here talking about youngsters, put an article about the Torres del Paine fire, as that embodies the clash-->, they often bargain for the lowest price (what is not common in this part of the world and sometimes perceived as offensive) and they often travel in groups of their own without seeking much interaction with others. <!--If you are an Israeli hiker on the GPT than please don't bargain for a discount if the asking price is reasonable. Take it or leave it, in particular if you are in an remote place along the route and a settler offers you some food or accommodation. I experienced these locals on the trail as generous and reasonable and haggling would be in most cases rude. Be a good ambassador of your nation and be generous where you are treated with generosity (all this applies obviously to all hikers).-->
