Santiago in five places

Hello!!
In this oportunity I going to talk about interested places should visit in Santiago and activities that can’t help do.
The firs place that it will recommend is the Ñuñoa square, because is a very good place toe at somethin, drink somethin in a relaxed atmosphere. You can walk for its street with complete calm and to travel until you can find the ideal site for your taste and your pocket I recomend you the “Fuente Suiza”, where for little money you can to savour a exquisite “empanada” of cheese ( with a lot of cheese).
The second place is the “Quinta Normal” that is a very familiar place where you can walk in middle of the vegetation and a relaxed atmosphere, which is very rare to Santiago. There is a Little lake where you can go by boat with your family.
The “Parque forestal” is a good place to enjoy spend time outside. Always you can find a cultural activity.
The neighborhood Bellavista is a collection of pubs, disco and cultural places like the house of Pablo Neruda, a famous chilean poet.
At last, but not at least,the next place that I suggest you is “La piojera” a very folk and chilean place where do you drink a most tasted swig like “jote”, “terremoto”, “replica” and spend a lot of time in a pleasant and humble atmosphere. Always you will find some interesting carácter of national scene.
I hope that this places be of your pleasure.

The last picture show



The last movie I saw, wasa independent film “The slumdog millionaire” a film by Danny Boyle, the same director of "Trainspotting" and "The Beach".
This movie beggins when a young 18 years old orphan boy called Jamal is arrested under suspicion of cheating in the final question to win a 20 million rupees in the Indian version of “who wants to be a millionaire. While he is interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he, a kid from the street, knows the answers. In middle of his memories appears the complex life in the slums, the relationship with his brother and the love of his life Latika.
Several things I like of this movie. In first place the memories of Jamal are present as chapters where the spectator gradually will find out how he has learned answers to the show. In second place the film shows how the spirit of teenager was triumph over the adversity in a story of hope, kindness and perseverance. In third place I like that a occidental director shows a Indian story, with Indian actors, in a refreshing way.
I was to cinema to see this movie with my younger sister and my Mom. The movie theater was in downtown of Santiago. A friend of mine recommended this film, fortunately three of us enjoy the film and I go out from the theater with a good cinema taste. I like so much and I recommended to everyone that enjoy a good story and a good cinema.
