Radisson Ciudad Empresarial Santiago

... Americans have no problem with PDA (public displays of affection). There are couples of all ages making out everywhere! We ran across quite a few in this park (not sure if its other name is "make-out park", but it should be!<br><br>We also visited a great coffee shop, the kind that I think might only be found in Santiago... "coffee with legs". It is a regular coffee shop except there are only women who serve you in short, skin-tight outfits and it is standing room only. It ...

... On several occasions, people have come up to us to warn us on putting our cameras away for fear of it being swiped. I can't get over how nice Chileans are- a sales woman in a wine store not gave us advice and a detailed route of all the major wineries in Southern Chile but she also gave us her personal cell number in case we needed her advice while we were there. She said she studied on scholarship to the ...

... country &#8211; 10 or 12 hour bus journeys are unheard of at home and yet they are the norm in Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru! We have also found that 5 months is no where near enough to see the continent &#8211; a week in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Colombia was no where near enough but it did allow us at least to get the smallest flavour of a place. The longest we spent in a country was 6 weeks in Argentina &#8211; even this ...

With such a limited time in Santiago it isn't really fair to make a judgement on the city, but if first impressions count then I found it to be unremarkable, the great mountains that can be seen as the backdrop standing over the city are impressive, but the smog or mist so obscures them that they are merely a presence that gives a foreboding feeling and highlights the flat blandness of the ...

In the end I was sad to be leaving Santiago (and its beautiful chicas) so soon, but the lads had already spent two days there previously (though they weren't so enamoured with it on that occassion) and we've already spent far too long dawdling around the southern/expensive half of South America, so onwards and upwards to La Serena!

... amb una paraula: Internet!!! Posar-vos al dia!!! Ja que fa tant de temps que no podem actualitzar la pàgina web que se'ns ha acumulat un piló de dies! Esperem que ho gaudiu! I llegir els vostres comentaris! Dimarts XXVII - I - MMIX Ha arribat el dia. Basicament al matí acabem d'actualitzar la pàgina web. A la tarda anem a l'aeroport on deixarem els pals de la pluja a un treballador de Lan Airlines ja que no els podem transportar cap a Nova Zelanda... quina llàstima!

... centre et ses quelques rues pietonnes, poursuivons vers le cerro santa lucia (butte surplombant la ville en son centre et ornee de jolie jardins) et le quartier de Bellavista ou nous dejeunerons. La maison de l'emblematique poete Pablo Neruda etant fermee, nous nous orientons vers la colline San Cristobal ou nous profitons du telepherique pour apprecier une vue d'ensemble de la ville. Ces oeufs n'etant meme pas dignes d'unes station de ...

... into the corridor, but not to the outside. This seems to keep the room quite cool. On checking I found out its 19% cheaper paying by USD because you don't have to pay tax. There's a tourism office here and they advised me that I don't need to book a bus to Valparaiso for tomorrow, I just need to take the Metro to a station on the outskirts of town.

... over here it doesn't work like that! <br><br>I selected my amount of cash, which was promptly dispensed, then took the receipt, put the money in my wallet and turned around. <br><br>I didn't realise that it hadn't given me my card back; it didn't even cross my mind.<br><br>I think I was also conscious of the fact that I'd been ...
