Have you ever tried to do something nice… and completely messed it up?
 
Like offering your seat to a woman you thought was pregnant
…and she wasn’t.
 
This episode is about doing something with good intentions and still getting it wrong, because you don’t know the cultural code.
 
I tell the real story of Enrique Iglesias in Chile, when a “nice gesture” turned into one of the most famous cultural embarrassments in the country.
 
Same language.
Same words.
Different code. 



Because when you come to Chile, grammar won’t save you.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
