Nerf Gun Birthday Decorations



In what must be one of the most amazing news for Chileans appeared in the foreign press, The New York Times just "ranquear" Santiago as number one tourist destination the year 2011. That really would be historic and unprecedented innovation. What is the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Santiago ready to escape or have escaped from the city or have not learned yet or deny so called good news. And not because he used to go on vacation at this time to escape the brutal heat that has been as ever this summer. On the contrary, because there are reasons of weight and advise airing out of this hole. Santiago

is no Shangri-La. In other news now finally clear that appeared in the national press and, therefore, certainly overlooked, it is stated that only 24% of Chileans trust their neighbors. Significant data. Three of every four Santiago is ugly look every morning, every evening, all year long, not exactly an enticing image, and what gross how welcoming. Neither should be the three allegations of theft, intimidation or assault for every thousand people registered each year, stating that counting only those who dare to make a complaint. Or what the data say picturesque, so unique and Santiago, from three or more pharmacies in the four corners. Consign any travel agency as useful information.

Of course not. What the New York Times as index values \u200b\u200bin Santiago is that there are excellent restaurants serving Peruvian "novo-Andean cuisine", and where you can then go and enjoy an unforgettable night to the sound of salsa, hot and cool dancing Free Cuba.

Definitely, with cranes, tank trucks, the men "Lego" with helmets, and noble neighborhoods, entire, lying at his feet, in short, a place or landscape in constant deconstruction / construction. Soil regularly run into some "executive" of doubtful breed monstrous skyscrapers that draw up my street and house: I live in Providence and shuns move further east.

Santiago's problem is always the same, since it was founded. This was never a destination, but the way and improvised. Far from all, and worse, far from where we were, preventing the Mapuche get there. A wild, semi-desert, poorly ventilated, where no pre-Columbian civilization built anything worth his salt (even buried a lot). In short, a hole wights, fateful, where lay a trench camp and continue fighting their way south, otherwise, had to go offline to the north. Odd, then, that the gringos are so fantastic Santiago. "Vendámoselos?
