kiss and tell EVERY park in santiago is a kissing park. it's the only place young people can be alone, since most chileans live with their parents until they marry (and even then, many don't move out b/c they can't afford a place of their own). and yes, it is amazing that a city of 5million can be so free of people on a sunday but it's true. i live in detroit, and monday i thought i'd go to a museum, but every museum in the city was closed, so i'm not sure it's only a south american thing. in any case. enjoy the rest of your time in south america and chile. you're having quite a trip! cheers!
jealous? moi? Of course I'm jealous! How come you would never come to dances with me and now you wander into a tango milonga like a pro.
And I do read your blog.
jeaaaalouussss can't wait to go overseasssssss. lithuania here we COME!
gosh it sounds so fun, though i would like to a see a pie chart of how many females you've made friends with compared to males... :P
Howdy Maddle-Paddle Hey mads!
Yeah, the reason that there are many errors is that I just write, often with my eyes closed or zoned out, and hit the publish button without reading what I´ve written. So what comes out is very natural, very organic.
A per-kilo restaurant is a buffet where you get your plate weighed at the end. Its good fun.
A gringo is a westerner, who in the movies come to South America in their hawaiian shirts and big cameras, and are notorious for having lots of money (stolen).
Yessiree.
You didn't explain that whole per-kilo buffet thing too clearly Marky.
And what in gods name is a gringo? Is it just a backpacker?
P.s: there may be many an error, but I love the way you write. Like in your last post with the European feeling being because of the raised flower beds. It makes sense, but I would never have noticed that.
Curitiba sounds lovely.
I am Ian's cousin Hello Mark, Ian mentioned you were staying with him and Donna so I checked out the blog. Seems you are enjoying yourself. You appear to be keeping the good name and reputation of travelling Australians by drinking, dancing and mixing with the locals very well. Enjoy. Graham
My brother is hot! Hi ya,
Just mentally transported myself to Calgary for 15 mins in the middle of a boring work day. Loved seeing your Photos Mark. Makes me feel that you aren't so far away. Glad to see that you are having fun as always. Keep up the good work!

Wow I'm surprised you had enough time to make a super cool blog! Hope you continue to have a great time, and good luck with future plane trips and exit rows (it's not so much of a problem for me, but I can imagine it makes a difference if you're tall).
