I had the same struggle in my very broken Spanish to explain the concept of hot and chocolate. "Caliente" seemed to throw them off completely!<br /><br />I added 'copa' then after searching in my Berlitz booklet, came up with 'taza' but clearly it was a foreign concept to the hotel. Not being in my usual 5-star accommodation, I just said bring it up.<br /><br />What i received was clearly a chocolate cream dessert that had been heated up and then poured into a cup (to satisfy me)...<br /><br />Maybe you can investigate with genuine Chileans in their home what they do with cocoa poweder, water, milk and sugar and cups, And, exactly what they call this concoction.<br /><br />After all, cocoa comes from Central America, so maybe they think of it in completely different way!Gilberto GILnoreply@blogger.com
