sightseeing in Santiago

Ok, today I have to do a kind of tourist guide/map/whatever to an imaginary foreigner that has decided to come to a place like Santiago and hasn’t take a look on something more decent.. Or maybe a foreign friend that wants me to show he/she what would be nice to see in this city. So... Since I’m not really creative this week –picture that, in the old post I was at least moderately creative-, I think that I would go straight to the point… Now let’s go with a top five sightseeing places of Santiago (I warn you, they’re not in order of relevance):
-Santa Lucía Hill: Is pretty much in the center of Santiago, and a subway station has its name –yay!- , and is a really nice hill –as much as a hill can be- quite covered with vegetation and with some really interesting structures to see –if you are interested in architecture or monuments-; and if you get to the top, You can have a really good panoramic view of Santiago.
-Paseo Ahumada: It’s also in the center of Santiago, and it’s pretty close to Santa Lucía hill. To get there you just have to take the subway and get off at Universidad de Chile. The paseo Ahumada is full of stores, and goes straight to the Plaza de Armas –Believe it or not, our next place to visit!-
-Plaza de Armas: Once again in the center. As Santa Lucía hill it has a subway station with its name, so you really can’t get lost to get to it. Around it there are many stores, places to eat, a Church and some old buildings. In the plaza itself there aren’t many trees or other plants, but it’s always full of people –mostly not Chileans-.
-Central station: Well as its name says it is a station, where you can take trains, buses and the subway! –yay!, there’s also a subway station with its name-. There are also two malls close to it, and restaurants and the USACH –Universidad de Santiago de Chile- planetary. It’s a nice building itself by the way.
-Meiggs alley: It’s a place near to central station –actually it’s next to it-, where you can buy about EVERYTHING, it’s like the Chinatown of Santiago; it’s full of stores of every kind of thing, and also it’s pretty cheap!
Well that’s all folks... See ya later!

My addiction

Well I guess I’m addicted to many things… I actually can’t pick one that obsesses my more than the other, but surely I can make a list of all of them, so here I go: horror/slasher movies, comic books, online comics, chocolate, tv –in general-, my computer, drawing, music, science fiction books/movies, fantasy books/movies, and I thing that I can keep going for ever, but I don’t think it is a good idea….

But well, since this is just an assignment, I won’t talk to you guys about all of them, but only one, and I guess it should be the one that obsess me the most lately.. So I pick online comics!

Because lately it has take control over my life, and instead of be reading the huge bunch of books that I should read for my different classes, I keep on reading those funny strips that not well known authors do an publish for free on the net.. Which is really complicated, ‘cause I have a lot of things to do, an really few time to do them, so every second I waste is a huge lose…

Well since I’ve always been addicted to different things, I guess I can’t picture my life without been addicted, it’s like my weird way to live on.. Well I guess I can beat my addiction, but I’ll probably replace it with something else, soon after, like chocolates, candy, other kind of web content, I don’t know, but I guess I rather to be addicted to something harmless like comic strips than something more dangerous .

I guess that the best way to avoid getting addicted to online comics, you should avoid reading them o entering in websites that has them on.

And… Well I’m not a preacher, so I won’t be giving away recommendations about how you should live your life... And also, I don’t think that online comics are bad, so I won’t say bad things about them..

So that’s all! See ya!
