Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.

Things to do, places to go.

I have always liked partying. I will give you that. However, I’m not really into going out that much. I’m much happier when we all meet up and party at our own places these days. Anyways, if I were to recommend good fun places to go in Santiago, I’d probably go for any of the bars you can find in Barrio Lastarria, although my favorite one is Berri (Rosal 300) because of its beautiful baroque (I guess) style and reasonable prices. It is actually very easy to get there. You can take the subway and get off at Bellas Artes or Universidad Católica station, both ways you’re going to have to walk for about 5 minutes to get there. When you are there, try to find a table on the second floor because that is the most picturesque part of the building. The music is fantastic, old records from the 50’s and 60’s, lots of Elvis and the like and the volume is just fine, you can actually listen to the person in front of you! What to order? Well, I really like the stout beer they have, they serve these never-ending glasses and they also have a very tasty hamburger with some really good pickles. I’m quite traditional in this sense, so if I like something it is very likely that I order the same all the time. I would definitely recommend this place because I’m happy every time I go there, that has to mean something, right?

Describe what (fun) things there are to do in Santiago and the places you can go.

You should say:

  • · where it is
  • · how to get there
  • · what there is to do when you are there

And explain why you would recommend this place.

Don’t forget to:

- Write 200 words

- Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts
