Providencia Santiago

... area on the first day and saw the Plaza de Armas (the main square). We chanced upon a great street show that two mimes were doing. That was quite funny, and good since we didn´t need to know any Spanish to enjoy it!<br><br>We wandered around and found a nice little hill/park called Cerro St Lucia which has an old "castle" on top and has a great view from a little turret on the top. A lot of the parks here are filled with couples making out.. another weird observation, but ...

... restaurants and shops throughout the city are very modern and hip. The American influence is also pervasive as a block away from our hotel, is a Starbucks, TGIF Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, McDonalds, and a Subway. If the worst thing you can say about a country and it's people is that they are so nice then Chileans fit that bill. Every time we're lost, people come up to us and ask us if we need help with our ...

... I should at this point mention the words 'swine flu'. I am touching wood as I write that at present there is none in south america and we are going to buenos aires tmrw. In a week's time, we will also hopefully be going to north america if (thank you dad) society hasn't collapsed and justine and becki haven't been called in to action to save us in a civil contingency way... till later folks...i believe it's siesta time now once I finish my beer:-) k&amp;t.xx.

... the name escapes me for now. There, a statue of the Virgin Mary gazes out placidly over the vast sprawling expanse of the metropolitan area (though the holy effect is somewhat spoiled by the massive communications array a short distance away on the hilltop). Its quite a view from the top, with the urban landscape stretching out below as far as the eye can see, fading into the ...

... només tardem a creuar-la unes 2h aproximadament, ja que a vegades pots tardar entre 4 o 5 o fins a 11h depenent del trànsit. Doncs, continuem el viatge cap a Xile. S'ha acabat l'aventura argentina! Al arribar anem directament a l'hostal "Moai Viajero" on descansarem i faré el meu primer àpat decent des de fa dos dies: arròs bullit! Visca! 26.01.2009 Den heutigen Tag verbringen wir damit unsere Website upzudaten. Das wird etwas dauern :) Dilluns XXVI - I - MMIX Avui ho ...

... les rues sont a taille humaine, on peut tout faire a pied, de jolies terraces ornent les rues et l'on ressent facilement l'esprit boheme poete culture propre aux chiliens. Les gens sont aimables, on entend parler plusieurs langues (le chilien en est d'ailleurs une en soit, c'est de loin celle que j'ai le plus de mal e comprendre, car les mots d'argot specifiques au pays sont omnipresents). Nous commencons la visite par la principale place ...

... is like Hamilton in the middle of a major drought. Although it has the Andes as a backdrop, if its smoggy enough you can't see them. The main street is wide with trees and a walkway through the centre. I found my way to the hostel on a Tur-Transfer bus (USD$8) and have checked in and had a swim. Its hot here- around 28C and sunny. The dorm rooms have a ...
