meeting Santiago

If you come to Santiago you should go to some interesting places. You can go to “Estación central” and see the oldest trains of Chile. Also, you can visit the central park called Bernardo O’Higgins, this park has many attractive things; you can buy traditional handicraft or riding boats. But if you want to know about our history you have to go to “La Moneda”, the official house, where the president works.

The best way to travel around Santiago is the subway, because it isn’t very expensive at all. The bohemian route starts in some places as “Bellavista neighborhood” or “Suecia neighborhood”, you can go to clubs and drink a lot there. The “Bellavista neighborhood” is a very popular place in Santiago, where everybody goes to have fun. But if you want to have sex you have to visit San Camilo’s street or “El golf neighborhood”, and pay for it.

Besides, you can eat Chilean food in some places as “Mercado central” or “La piojera”, these places are very cheap and they have the typical dishes, so you can meet the Chilean gastronomy.

I don’t remember other places to visit. But the best way to meet Santiago is wander across the city.

My last film

“Notes on a scandal” was the last film that I saw. This English film was directed by Richard Eyre in 2006. This movie is an adaptation from the novel of the same name written by Zoe Heller

Barbara (Judi Dench) is a middle-aged teacher who falls in love of Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett), the new art’ teacher. Sheba is a beauty girl and mother of two children who, unfourtunately, starts an affair with one of her pupils. When Barbara realizes of the “illegal realtionship” between Sheba and Steven (Andrew Simpson), she decides to advice to her collegue, but at the same time, she use the scandal to get closer to Sheba.

I liked this movie because It reflects the obsessive love very well. Besides, “Notes on a scandal” shows us how is manage a particular situation in a conservative institution. I have to say that I saw the movie in my house, because I don’t like the cinemas. I saw the movie with my brothers and my mom.

I recommend this film, because It is a superb psychological drama. Judi Dench is a fantastic actress and she has a posh accent, so you can compare your pronunciation with her.
