Overlooking Ciudad de Santiago, ChileHello there everyone I’m here again to say something about my day… Well we had these long break once again but I’m kinda bored here at home. Staying at home is no longer my routine because I got used in working 9 hours a day, meaning I stay in the bank longer than in my house. Somehow I found something to keep myself busy and that is to watch TV.
I would like to share what I have seen on the cable. Have you seen the show in Discovery Travel and Living entitled “Passport to Latin America with Samantha Brown”? I recently watched the show and I was so fascinated about the places she had been in South America. On her episode she went to Santiago, Chile and mingled with the locals, people are Spanish speaking and they do have a very busy lifestyle. Accordingly Chile is the most prosperous nation in the South American continent to date, and it really show off to the people because of their modern lifestyle. Though they have the western lifestyle they are still proud of their ancestral heritage of being native Americans. Some locals built shop that displays their cultural traditions. They sell goods that are totally Indians, like spears, sombreros and even woven clothes like ponchos and many more.
Samantha also featured the scenic spots of the country, Santiago-the vibrant capital of Chile is situated on foot of the Andes giving the people nice view of the snowcapped mountains, a wonderful place to behold indeed. Waterfalls were all around the suburb and could you imagine that all water falling from these falls were actually coming from the melting snow of the mountains?. According to her it was very cold but refreshingly good. Wow I got to try those haha if it’s possible.
Meanwhile what I like most of the episode is the culinary creativity of the Chilean people. Most of the foods are mixed flavor of the European and American Indian influence. Just like the beef recipes which are so flavorful and tasty to look at. Wines are also a proud product of Chile, with rich and fertile land the country has a lot of winery which is comparable with the European counter parts.
Chile really has so many exciting things to offer, it is a wonderful place as told by Samantha Brown. From the time I saw the show I now have it in my mind that one day I could visit this country and wander as a tourist.
That’s all for now and have a blessed New Year to all! Adios!
