Hey....sorry I didn't check this forum until now..!
We have a big Croatian community in many towns in Chile, usually well organized with their "casa de la cultura ", my Grandfather came sometime just after the first world war, although unfortunately I don't remember much about him. His documents say he was born in Zadar.
(Rafael, in which town do your relatives live? )
Anyway, in Chile I lived in Santiago, before I decided to come to Europe 4 years ago. Half of my family is from Arica, and I worked around there for a long time: it's also my favourite place!
Vespas were imported to Chile, but for some reason were never very popular, I once had a 125 primavera, and really regret that I sold it! We also have a Vespa club in Santiago,(run by a guy called Radislav Biskupovic Dimitrijvic).
Thanks for the welcomes!
Saludos!
