So my time here has come to an end and leaving for Mendoza, Argentinia tomorrow, Sunday 8 August. Been a fairly eventful week here and made good aquintances.Again realised how lost one can be if you do not speak the language. One misses out on so much, but having said that, people did try very hard to talk to me in English. I have now promised myself to learn a new language every 6 months at Wits, starting with Spanish.
Satiagons are very outgoing and have a great attitude. And very proud of being Chileans. One place that I will remember with fond memories is a bare boned pub called La Piejora. Was introduced to a drink here called Terremoto, meaning earthquake. A concoction of fermented white wine and pineapple ice cream with a dash of ternot, it would soon leave your legs shaking. And soon everybody speaks English!
Tonight visited three coffee shops - with a difference. Stunning girls in lingerie welcomes you with kisses on the cheek and have a chat with you while you sip your coffee and admire their assets.Yes, I like coffee!Sorry, no pictures of them.
But here are some more images of Santiago - the zoo and people in general.
Bye bye. Until Mendoza
