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.
do you think an all-female "Blues Sisters" script has been written? will it ever be produced?
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.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
p sure my host mom in Santiago was descendant from Nazis
she was defs a Pinochet sympathizer
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.I've found Argentine Spanish to be difficult to understand, and all my Latin American coworkers make fun of the Argentinians on the team

Just saw a Folgers commercial featuring a French press.
No one is putting fucking Folgers in a French press.
