Last night I went to the Hotel del Mar in Vina del Mar. The Hotel del Mar is a famous casino in Chile. My roommate Lauren and I got dressed up and went there to try our hand at Blackjack. I was under the impression that the minimum bet was 3,000 pesos ($6), which was already a bit more than I'd like to be risking. To our dismay, the minimum goes up at night, and even more on the weekends. So on a Saturday night, it is 7,000 pesos ($14). I had only 6,000 on me at the time and had to borrow 1,0...
Vina del Mar, Chile ryanr
Ramadas, BBQs and sweet dreams.<br><br>Let the party continue! The Chileans definently know how to celebrate. Day after independence day the asados (BBQs) keep going. More empanadas, beef, sausage and sweets. THEN the grand finale the Ramadas! A big group of us go Saturday night all of which speak spanish only. I remain mute most of the night but its great because I´m being forced to speak spanish when I can. <br><br ...
Vina del Mar, Chile flutterby7011... je bio kao neki sastanak. na kraju mi je bilo super! bilo nas 10ak, dva amera, francuz i cileanci. na kraju smo ostali samo nas dvoje (organizator i ja) koji me je napastovao cijelo vrijeme (ne samo mene nego bilo sta sta je licilo na zensko :D). u jednom trenutku sam drugom jednom liku rekla da sam udana (pokazujuci mu crni prsten od kokosa koji sam platila 5kn :D) kako bih ga se rijesila. likovi ovdje nisu ljudi, to su DIVLJACI ...
Vina del Mar, Chile malvada... old acquaintances and new ones)! Oscar and his friends say that I'll be a true Chilean in no time (mostly because I don't act like a preppy, party-going American)! haha! I do get asked what state I'm from because they can tell I'm from the US due to my blonde hair. (I've gotten a few whistles because of my ~American hair~.)<br><br>Everyone slept most of the day on Saturday and watched the big soccer game! Pablo really loves Everton, so ...
Vina del Mar, Chile etroesch... day in Valpo was taken up with surf lessons (and yoga, much to the amusement of the more non-participationary lads) for myself and Connie, which was tough work but a lot of fun. We're now on the lookout for good swell and cheap board rental for the rest of the trip! PS Valpo has the best radio station of all time - Radio Horizonte. Not sure if I'm allowed to put up links to commercial sites, but it shouldn't be too hard to find, you should check it out.
Valparaiso, Chile roryd... and went looking for something to do for a few hours. Along the way we met two other couples similarly inclined so we chatted up two locals who were offering their services for hire. One of our "locals" was from Trois Rivere, Quebec (spoke excellent English with a Portuguese accent) and the other (our driver) was an English Professor at the local ...
Valparaiso, Chile oldnavigator... There are a lot of cheap hostales and residencias, but none of them advertise wi-fi or internet or anything like that. There IS one that calls itself 'bed and breakfast', a term mostly out-of-date, for me at least, and largely superseded by the term 'hostel' these days, but that's probably the best bet. South American hostales pre-date the modern concept of 'hostel' btw though they may very well be cognate. If the place is hip to ...
Valparaiso, Chile hardiekWell, I made the trip and it exceeded my wildest expectations! I hope to share with you the many wonderful things that I saw and did over a month-long sabbatical in Chile. Getting there was a bit challenging. Fortunately, I had <a href="http://expatglobalmedical.com"> ;comprehensive trip insurance</a> ...

Going out with Oggy tomorrow night, then. That'll be be a quiet night in at the library... not! got quite drunk last night after drinking a load of escudas, they only cost about 75p for 1 litre, so it was certainly a case of el vino did flow! by the way the first sentence is a gareth keenen office quote haha for those of ...
Valparaiso, Chile wjh88... de la Canción de Viña del Mar; donde cada año las nuevas y consagradas figuras de la canción latinoamericana desfilan con su espectáculo ante el exigente jurado y publico chileno. Continuando nuestro recorrido y con la ganas de conocer la verdadera Viña del Mar que en la costanera reposa entre modernos edificios y con una infraestructura hotelera excelente y muy atractiva. El primer atractivo es el Hotel del Mar, unos de los hoteles mas antiguos y ...
