The food tradition and recipes in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; stand out due to the varieties in flavors and colors. The country's long coastline and the Chilean peoples' relationship with the sea adds an immense array of ocean products to the variety of the food in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The country's waters are home to unique species of fish and shellfish such as the Chilean sea bass, loco and picoroco. In addition, many Chilean recipes are enhanced and accompanied by wine, owing to the fact that &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is one of the world's largest producers of wine.

Through trade and travel, Maize brought and eventually embraced by the Mapuche      and using it towards their culinary arts. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;Lúcuma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;: A subtropical fruit of Andean origin,      native to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Peru&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; it has      grown well for centuries in southern &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Ecuador&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;      and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s      northern coast. The fruit is very nutritious, having high levels of      carotene and vitamin B3. The lúcuma is exported all around the world. It      is an important flavor for gelatin desserts such as ice cream. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;Ugni molinae&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;: is an endemic shrub native to southern &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The      Mapuche Native American name is Uñi, and Spanish names include Murta and      Murtilla ("little myrtle"); it is also sometimes known as      "Chilean guava". It was used among the Mapuche before the      arrival of the Spaniards. It is an ingredient used for marmalades and      liquor. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;Potato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;: Featured heavily in dishes such as cazuela,      the potato native to the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Americas&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;,      was widely grown in Chiloe Archipelago. The potato is a fundamental      product in a wide array of dishes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;Quinoa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;: grown as a crop primarily for its edible      seeds and originated in the peruvian Andean region of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;South       America&lt;/st1:place&gt;, where it has been an important food for 6,000 years.      Certain varieties of Quinoa are harvested in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Concepcion&lt;/st1:city&gt;,      &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, known as the      Catentoa, and the Regalona is abundant in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Temuco&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.      &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;Seafood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN"&gt;An elemental characteristic of Chilean cuisine is the variety and quality of fish and seafood, due to the geographic location and extensive coastline. The Humboldt current causes a supply of seafood that gathers along the Pacific coast perpendicular to Chilean waters. These include squid, soleidae (sole), albacore, codfish, hake, corvina (salmon), batoidea and tuna. Seafood such as abalone, prawns, clams, crabs, shrimp, oysters, lobsters, percebes, picorocos, and eels are also fished in large amounts. Congridae or in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chile&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; known as congrio can be deep fried in batter, or seasoned and baked. It may also be made into a stew: this popular dish, called Caldillo de congrio, was praised in an ode by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;To keep reading about this topic, visit &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean_cuisine"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-4324461822427569332?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/4324461822427569332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/chilean-cuisine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/4324461822427569332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/4324461822427569332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/chilean-cuisine.html' title='Chilean Cuisine'/><author><name>la</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dyb2woOEal0/Ss0wxHjcCWI/AAAAAAAAAPo/kJFZfzIoUQw/s72-c/Choclos.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057346621252423501.post-3870225379764676877</id><published>2009-10-22T16:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T16:53:01.295-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bueno Entonces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning Spanish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Resources'/><title type='text'>CUECA CHILENA.

Spend enough time here in Chile and you end up pretty fluent in the Chilean variant, which I call Spangli-shilean!! (Get it?) See?

Test your own level of Spanglishilean (and have a little bad translation fun) with this doozy:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tunga;"&gt;****************&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tunga;"&gt;There’s a rooster of the glue who told me his worse-is-nothing had improved herself and brought a baron to light at &lt;st1:metricconverter productid="3 in" st="on"&gt;3  in&lt;/st1:metricconverter&gt; the morning. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tunga;"&gt;The uncle said his creature may not have arrived with a hard roll under the arm, but he waits he was born standing up, like he was. What it will be, always that he doesn’t convert to a bad duck or a spear. He hopes he will finish at least his medium learning and perhaps make himself a frog, like his co-father, helping the microphone operators who drive like testicles.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tunga;"&gt;The wedding was very happy they had a man for the end, since they already had 3 women. His wife doesn’t have any hair on her tongue and said that now that they have a man, she’s going to close the factory and go back to selling broken underpants on the microphones in the center of James, where they live in their half water.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tunga;"&gt;Maybe it was big-footed of my part, but I asked the crazy man what wave, and he said his half orange and the snotty were passing it pig.

For Chile, however, the memory of  that day goes back much farther and much deeper.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On September 11, 1973 Chile’s military forces overthrew the government of  President Salvador Allende, the world’s first democratically elected socialist  president. The military, led by General Augusto Pinochet, would remain in tight  control for the next 17 years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I wasn’t here on Chile’s &lt;em&gt;Once de Septiembre&lt;/em&gt;—nor was I, by the way,  in the US for its September 11. I arrived in Chile in 1991, a year after it had  returned to democracy, to learn Spanish in preparation for anthropological field  work that would take me into the world of the families of the detained and  disappeared. My experience with the women who used folklore to protest the  disappearance of their loved ones, who danced the &lt;em&gt;Cueca Sola&lt;/em&gt; and who  sewed patchwork &lt;em&gt;arpilleras&lt;/em&gt; will wait for another time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Today I will concentrate on September 11, 1993, twenty years after the day  that changed Chile forever. A day that I &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; in fact present. The  following is the entry from my field notes for that day… as is, without further  interpretation or benefit of the 16 years that have passed since that date:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday: 11 de SEPTIEMBRE de 1993: 20 AÑOS DEL GOLPE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What a day! The (in)famous “&lt;em&gt;Once de Septiembre&lt;/em&gt;” marked the 20th  anniversary of the &lt;em&gt;golpe militar&lt;/em&gt;, and there has been a lot of commotion  over the event. Things do not feel stable here, although no one believes that  there will ever be the possibility of another coupe. There will be presidential  elections in November and all the various factions are battling it out in many  diverse ways.

I’m having a hard time being coherent today because  yesterday essentially spilled over in today and well, suffice to say that  there’s a never ending supply of places to go out in this city and it never  stops. I haven’t even made a dent in it, nor have I done many of the touristy  things... I did see the big metal flower that opens and closes and is the place  to hang out underneath and drink a mate in the sun. I also went to &lt;a href="http://www.malba.org.ar/"&gt;Malba&lt;/a&gt; which is a gorgeous art gallery and it  has a great cafe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winetasting last night, and after that we went to a restaurant that’s so  underground that it’s only open once a week and only twenty people know about it  and the food is thai.. the best thai I’ve ever had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read full text at &lt;a href="http://beadventuresinba.blogspot.com/"&gt;beadventuresinba.blogspot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-179327240926060024?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/179327240926060024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/vibe-won-trip-to-argentina-thru-bueno.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/179327240926060024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/179327240926060024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/vibe-won-trip-to-argentina-thru-bueno.html' title='Vibe won a trip to Argentina thru a Bueno Entonces contest.

 &lt;p&gt;[Disclaimer: Miniature Studios did provide me with free access to the product  in exchange for this review, but otherwise there was no payment for this review  and there are no affiliate links in this post.]&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ever since my days implementing digital technologies in higher education I’ve  been very interested in multimedia-based approaches to learning. There are  different learning styles and some people learn better in ways that are  different from others. Of course, language learning always requires a high  degree of personal interaction to achieve any level of proficiency. But language  tapes and computer-based approaches serve as useful starting points.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://buenoentonces.com/"&gt;Bueno, entonces&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is a series  of animated videos that replicate a one-on-one Spanish class.&lt;strong&gt;Unlike most  learning Spanish resources online, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://buenoentonces.com/"&gt;Bueno, entonces&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is designed  specifically for the person who wants to live in Buenos Aires, or at least have  an extended visit to Buenos Aires and have a good time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And the good time aspect is an intentional part of this approach in learning  Spanish. Not only does &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://buenoentonces.com/"&gt;Bueno,  entonces&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; adopt the local pronunciation and use of &lt;em&gt;vos&lt;/em&gt; rather  than &lt;em&gt;tu&lt;/em&gt;, there’s a bit of Argentine slang that is covered in a humorous  way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep reading the review at &lt;a href="http://buenoentonces.com/blog/tag/bueno-entonces-learn-spanish-reviews/"&gt;buenoentonces.com/blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-5574462382333324048?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/5574462382333324048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/review-learning-spanish-in-buenos-aires.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/5574462382333324048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/5574462382333324048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/10/review-learning-spanish-in-buenos-aires.html' title='Review: Learning Spanish in a Buenos Aires way'/><author><name>la</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057346621252423501.post-1346453403400482203</id><published>2009-10-02T11:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T11:21:00.617-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Travel Chile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rosetta Stone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Study Spanish Chile'/><title type='text'>Map of Chile</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.national-anthems.net/images/maps_grey/ci-map.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Each of the 30classes is 30-40 minutes long, proven as the  perfect length for a language course - long enough to cover vocabulary and  grammar topics but short enough to keep you interested the whole time.

Prices can double during the late-December to mid-March high  season, but travel just before or after the official season and you'll most  likely score bargain accommodations. Internal flights devour travel funds at any  time of the year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Shoestring travelers should budget around US$25 per day for food and lodging,  though with determination - camping or staying in hostels, eating in markets -  you could cut that to below US$20. Surprisingly cheap and ridiculously filling  set lunch menus are served by most restaurants - even expensive eateries have  very affordable lunchtime deals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p done2="5" done4="5" done10="41"&gt;From about US$60 per day you can wine and  dine well and sleep in cozy accommodations. Families can enjoy excellent deals  in fully equipped cabins wherever Chileans like to spend their summers. Spend  more than US$100 per day and you can enjoy luxuries that would commonly cost you  double that in &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=361211"&gt;North  America&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358537"&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Tipping&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p done10="48"&gt;It's customary to cough up an extra 10% of the bill as a tip in  restaurants, except in family-run places, which rarely expect a tip. In general,  waiters and waitresses are poorly paid, so if you can afford to eat out, you can  afford to tip, and even a small &lt;em&gt;pro&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;pina&lt;/em&gt; will be appreciated.  Taxi drivers do not require tips, although you may round off the fare for  convenience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p done10="48"&gt;Read all info at &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/chile/practical-information/money-costs"&gt;Lonely Planet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-9051072493746253439?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/9051072493746253439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/money-costs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/9051072493746253439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/9051072493746253439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/money-costs.html' title='Money &amp; costs'/><author><name>la</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057346621252423501.post-1515509669376168247</id><published>2009-09-28T11:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-28T13:41:21.905-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iphone Spanish Classes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bueno Entonces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Study Spanish Chile'/><title type='text'>About Chile</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: center;" done6="33" done8="33" done14="275"&gt;It just doesn't cut it to call Chile a  land of contrasts - this is a land of extremes. It's a preposterously skinny  tendril of a country creeping 4300km around the foot of &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=362990"&gt;South  America&lt;/a&gt;: while &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363271"&gt;Arica&lt;/a&gt;  basks in tropical heat at its tip, &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363290"&gt;Punta  Arenas&lt;/a&gt; shivers at its icy tail just short of &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355733"&gt;Antarctica&lt;/a&gt;.  Nowhere else can you stand in the world's driest desert (near &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363278"&gt;San  Pedro de Atacama&lt;/a&gt;), gaze at snowcapped peaks then turn your head to see cool  Pacific rollers creaming inland. Follow Chile's jagged Andean backbone of  towering mountains south and you'll pass through the ancient forests of &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363261"&gt;Parque  Nacional Chiloé&lt;/a&gt;, the rich vineyards of &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363268"&gt;Talca&lt;/a&gt;,  past shimmering lakes and immense plains, to stumble upon the exquisite  labyrinth of fjords, islands and milky-blue glaciers that make up &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363287"&gt;Southern  Patagonia&lt;/a&gt; at the end of the Americas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" done6="41" done8="41" done14="284"&gt;Opportunities for outdoor fun abound.  Fancy climbing an active volcano? There are 50 to choose from. Prefer running  white-water rapids or paddling through ice-carved fjords? You'll be spoilt for  choice. Come looking for adventure and you could hike, bike, ski, surf, swim,  horseback ride and even paraglide your way from desert to ice fields. But you  don't need to sweat it to enjoy the best of Chile. You can soak in hot springs  until your skin wrinkles, ogle at glaciers crumbling into the sea, stargaze  alongside top international observatories, ponder the ancient mysteries of &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363285"&gt;Rapa Nui  (Easter Island)&lt;/a&gt; or soak up the urban buzz of Santiago or &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=363303"&gt;Valparaíso&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" done6="41" done8="41" done14="284"&gt;Continue reading, at &lt;a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/chile"&gt;Lonely Planet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-1515509669376168247?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/1515509669376168247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/about-chile.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/1515509669376168247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/1515509669376168247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/about-chile.html' title='About Chile'/><author><name>la</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057346621252423501.post-5687103908730158477</id><published>2009-09-28T11:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-28T13:41:21.909-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iphone Spanish Classes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bueno Entonces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Study Spanish Chile'/><title type='text'>Study Abroad Chile!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/24RkS6KLITk&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/24RkS6KLITk&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more video, go to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24RkS6KLITk"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1057346621252423501-5687103908730158477?l=studyspanishchile.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/feeds/5687103908730158477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/study-abroad-chile.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/5687103908730158477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1057346621252423501/posts/default/5687103908730158477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyspanishchile.blogspot.com/2009/09/study-abroad-chile.html' title='Study Abroad Chile!!!'/><author><name>la</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
