Santiago's Turism

Hello!..
I know that Santiago is not the capital of turism in the world.. And not even in Latinamerica.. But i'll try to give you some tips to have a really good time as a foreigner anyway!...

First of all, you have to take some cautions when you're beeing a tourist in Santiago... Things like, you got to be carefull with your stuff, so you wont get robbed; you got to USE THE SUNSCREEN since the sun radiation here is really dangerous. And some other things that you'll learn in the way...

Well, about places you should go.. These is my list:

1. "Cerro San Cristobal" : Is a really good place to go because is really beautiful (it has a cable car, it divides the city in two parts... etc) And also you can go to the Zoo there!.. So you can also meet some of our wild life!

2. "Plaza de armas" : Historical place... It is like, always crowded with birds but, nevertheless, it is a place you should go in Santiago de Chile to now some more of our culture. There, for examle, is the main cathedral of Chile! (REALLY BEAUTIFUL) And i think there is the main "Mail's house".

3. "Barrio Bellavista" : Then, when you're tired in the night and you want to go to a place to have some drinks and relax with your friends: "Barrio bellavista" Is the place you should go. But be careful! because as it gets late in the night, it gets more dangerous (full of drunk people). I see that as a funny thing to watch anyway xd.

4. "Cerro Santa Lucía" : As the "Cerro San Cristobal" is a beautiful place to go and it has a advantage on people who likes to do sports because it is a really nice place to go for a running... Just go all the way up by yourself! xP
It is also a histrical place, AND There is a funny thing to watch (or hear): Just wait till 12 o' clock on noon and see what happens!

5. "Mall" : And, finally, you should go to a mall in Santiago. How can you ever been in Santiago and not bring presents back home!? Or some souvenirs?.. xd
This is the place to find that kind of stuff. And there are some really nice malls out there! ;)

So come to "Santaigo de Chile"!!.. And dont forget that "Santiago IS NOT Chile!!"

Death Penalty! =O

Well.. This is a very controversial topic... And im used to have the most different opinions when im discussing this ''thing''.. So, let's get started, shall we? xd

In my opinion the Death penalty, on the prisioner's view, has two very marked sides. The bad one and the good one xd..
The bad one is that, this ''act'' is the worst thing you could do to a person's liberty. It is the maximun expression of slavery on a man because he can't choose anything in his life!, not even the time when he's going to die!...
I think that the last choice that a man looses, is when to die.

And, on the bright side, on the prisioner's view again, he will rest in peace!...
When you deserve the death penalty is because you have been really bad. And you DESERVE to pay for that really bad things you did.
Maybe there's no hell for that guy, and MAYBE, there is a paradise waiting for us.. And we are sending him right to that place!...
We don't know that.. But what we do know is that he will suffer pretty much if we give him a very long long life imprisonment (here, with us... Where we can see him)

So if u ask me if i agree with the death penalty, i would say that it can be the worst thing for a man who aprecciates his liberties (in the way that i do), but, even though i would say NO... Because thats an easy way out for the condemmed. And he doesn't deserve that...

Yes im mean =( ... xd
