What to do and where to go in Santiago.

Santiago is a great city to visit, because in this country we have so many things to see, to have fun with. I feel like if I was a tourist sometimes, because it’s too big this capital, and there are so many historic places that you can’t miss. So, if I had to give a tourist a little tour for this city, maybe I will begin with those places that I like, such as Santiago’s library, an amazing place to have fun with millions of books and videos that you can share with your friends and family. Some other places that I suggest a tourist to visit may be Matucana 100, an art place in which Chileans and foreigners artist show their work. Those two places are close to Quinta Normal, a beautiful and big park in which one child could play and have fun. Inside of that park, you can find the Nature History Museum, and a culture place such as Balmaceda. But a tourist must visit La Moneda, an historic place in which way the government take many important decisions.
If the tourists are bohemian maybe they will like to visit Bellavista and its surroundings, like the Forestal Park, and “Bellas Artes” Museum. Finally, I suggest visiting all this places using the subway, because it’s less difficult and safer.

En la cama

Well, the last film that I saw was “En la cama”, a movie by Matias Bize, a young Chilean director who has done other movies such as “Lo bueno de llorar”. However, his first movie was “En la cama”. This history begins with a couple of strangers that have a casual sexual relation in a motel, nevertheless this anonymous casualty gives them a intimacy feeling in which one they nude all their lives and shows their true emotions, like if this were a church confessionary without any retaliation.
What I love about this film is that everything happens in the same room. You can see all their transformations, their feelings being exposed in that same little sad room. Everything stops! In the film only exists those two, in that bed, having sex, feeling, crying, just being there like if no one else exist. Those two were Gonzalo Valenzuela and Blanca Lewin, playing to Bruno and Daniela respectively. I went alone to Cine hoyts to see that movie, and I recommend it a lot. You most see it! It’s incredible.
You never know when will be the day in which one your life will change forever, maybe the amazing of this film, is that makes you think that any day could be that day.
