Valparaiso and Spanish School Loving Valparaiso, it’s a crazy city, a large port, flanked by a small, flat commercial and business area, behind which the Cerro’s, or hills stretch up around the city. To climb these hills is a choice between a calf burning hike up winding streets or a cheap ride up one of the many “ascencores”, rail cars, that climb up almost vertical slopes, some of which...

Senorita Parnella, President Obama calling...
Dear Sarah, As the next American President, it gives me great pleasure to send you these greetings. My Special Advisers have fully briefed me on your achievements. From humble dwellings in the notorious ghettos of East Anglia, you have raised yourself on a powerful combination of champagne, roll ups, and dance music, to your current role of British cultural ambassador to South America! Your outstanding charitable work has also deeply impressed me. Your charitable dedication in ending poverty among publicans in the UK, and bar proprietors across the world, is truly a remarkable thing! Looking at you, few would guess you share my Negro heritage and our battle to end the damned whitey oppression! Fewer still would know of your struggles against the musical evils of Kylie Minogue and her evil sister Ddaannii. I too have suffered from hearing their music, and have vowed to wage war on their musical menace, therefore my first task on election will be to send them both to Guantanamo Bay, or the Adelphi. Or to Chile! South America has traditionally been a refuge for disreputable people - Ronnie Biggs, Nazis, Maradona, Eva Peron and Carlos the Jackal - so it was natural that you should go there… I thank the Good Lord you have arrived in the continent to introduce your key personal values - sobriety and caution. The English Monarch has contacted me, and asked in her e mail if you would accept her offer to you of the title, Sarah, Duchess of South America. This unfortunately overtakes my offer to you of replacing Sarah Palin as Guvnor of Alaska. Incidentally, George Bush asked me the other day to pass my thanks to you for your good wishes to him on his retirement from the Presidency, and to thank you for the groovy support you have given him over the years Al l the best Whammalamabarrackobamawhopbamboom

yes, we have NO pisar pasto here!
Hi there kiddo, I was wondering why photo 8 in the other set had the instructions “No pisar pasto” as it seemed oddly South American to have to tell people Not to piss in the pasta! Then I remembered there are some misguided countries not speaking English, like Chile and Scotland, so it may be foreign. I googled, apparently it means don’t walk on the grass, (why not just say that?!) the google also led to a Spanish joke, which google translated to English became a group of badly translated jokes, with obscure references you’d need to be South American academic to understand! I reckon you went to Catholic University, now Sarah, so for the love of god, not pisen the grass or they’ll bleedin’ deport ya! :o) “Here's how they say different universities in the phrase "NO treading THE GRASS " UNIVERSITY Gabriela Mistral: "Get the lawn of Cherooke post ñatito" ha ha ha UNIVERSITY OF DEVELOPMENT: "Please, do not walk on the grass UNIVERSITY OF SANTIAGO: "No pisi grass gueon oh!" CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY: "For the love of god, not pisen the grass!" TECHNICAL COLLEGE Federico Santa María: "Please do not step on the artificial grass" CAMPUS ANTUMAPU U CHILE: "Please do not steal the grass" ENGINEERING U CHILE: "Shows on grass, please do not trample" UNIVERSITY BDO. O'HIGGINS: "Penalty encampment by stepping on the lawn" SOCIOLOGY U CHILE: "Not in the grass" this is a classic! UNIVERSITY OF THE BORDER: "Please do not eat grass" UNIVERSITY OF THE ANDES: "The grass is a wonderful piece of creation. Use of the chambers be." UMCE and UTEM: "Please do not smoke grass" ENGINEERING UTEM: "No pisi grass coxino culiao but you made the chicken baccalaureate" How true UNIVERSITY CENTER: "Take the chala of yerba" University Andres Bello: "If you floor the grass, please cancel in cash, thanks" Adolfo Ibáñez University: "Please do not market the grass" UNIVERSITY ARCIS: "Do not prepare explosives in the grass" UNIVERSITY OF THE AMERICAS: "What is the grass?" Universidad Diego Portales, "What grass?" Universidad Iberoamericana: "... we have to CAEU grass!"
