Ever since this line from the movie D2, millennials have been intrigued

"Greenland is covered with ice, and Iceland is very nice!"
 
I just love the story that Sergio Garcia used to fuck Jeff Gordon's wife when he came to play at the Wachovia/Wells Fargo. Unsure if it's in any way true, but it's great.
 
Caddyshack was released 40 years ago in July. Blues Brothers was released a month earlier.
 
do you think an all-female "Blues Sisters" script has been written? will it ever be produced?

I studied abroad in Santiago like 13 years ago now, so I'm sure a lot has changed, but the subway was actually really good, as were the buses, so I don't remember traffic being an issue

one thing about Chile though is that they speak Spanish at one of the fastest clips of any country that speaks it in the world, drop a lot of syllables too, so can be tough

good place to learn Spanish though because if you can speak it there, you can speak it most anywhere -- when I lived in Guatemala, where over half the country has a first language other than Spanish, the pace of speech was so slow and easy to follow


re: valpo, if you just google image the place you get a sense of what makes it so great

This is so true about Chilean Spanish. Even native speakers have trouble understanding them. I think if you stay in a bigger city you'll be fine.

As far as accents go, Colombian Spanish is one of the easiest to understand. Medellín is an incredible city too
 
I've found Argentine Spanish to be difficult to understand, and all my Latin American coworkers make fun of the Argentinians on the team
 
p sure my host mom in Santiago was descendant from Nazis

she was defs a Pinochet sympathizer
 
Lol we've got a very nice Colombian lady helping out with childcare and I she's pretty much the greatest person I've ever met (in covid times, that probably goes for anyone that will let you do work), but her accent has been very tough for me. The "ll" as a j sound, in particular, took me a long time to get used to.

I think the Porteños come across as a little snobby, like maybe they fashion themselves to be fancy Europeans or something. They have a reputation across South America I think.

Argentina has a much stronger Italian and immigrant culture than indigenous, which only really exists in the north and west of the country. They definitely consider themselves more European than Latin American. The Welsh speaking communities in the south are pretty unique. Chile has a bunch of German enclaves as well and it's the 2nd learned language in those regions.
 
Just saw a Folgers commercial featuring a French press.

No one is putting fucking Folgers in a French press.

Watching porn and watching the food network:
1. I dont have those ingredients
2. This is more difficult than it looks
3. Mine tastes like ass
 
So the only reason to go to SA is to drink wine? Driving to napa is easier.
