Santiago
Navidad en Santiago.
We are stopping at the Casa Roja Hostel as we wanted a bit more of a party time for Christmas. So far it's been good and we've met a good bunch of people. Our dorm is not that noisy so that's probably one factor.
One North London guy we met said he had problems telling people that he was English and that they didn't believe him, and that he had to say he was Indian. I guess they don't know that the UK is very multi-cultural here in chile.
We tried to buy some ciproflaxina from one farmacia and we were told that we would need a percription from a doctor. I was shocked and pissed off! But thinking back I thought it was iresponsible to sell it over the counter in all the other countries we've visited. I'm not sure which is right now bacteria can cross borders.
