Magman's Chilean Journal (or, What I did on my summer vacation that lasted all year)

[Iceman8446]

So if the water goes one way up here and it goes another way below the equator. What happens right on the equator? Does it just go stright down?

[FrAuStY]

Have fun man, keep us posted on strange things that happen i.e any ufo sightings? Chile's supposed to be the UFO capitol of the world!

also, here's some spanish survival phrases:

Dar me otro cerveza porfavor! (Gimme another beer please!)
Donde es el bano? (Where's the bathroom?)
Donde es la hospital? (You can figure it out)
I had some more but I don't remember them...I don't speak spanish that much so they must have gotten lost amongst the useless engrish

Beer, Pisco, And A martini........

You guessed it, my clasmates and my host sister decided to play....get the gringo drunk.

Lemme start off by saying, i never drink any thing. But, in chile theu dont card. Plus, my classmates dad owns the Dance club. Well, we went dancing, and that turned into drinking. I must say, i am not proud of what i have done, but it was a good experience, i cna nowe decide if i want to ever dirink again.

The national pisco joke..... Ok, pisco is a drink, alot like white bacardi, and it is olny made in chile. The joke is that in spanish, pico means the male genetalia, so they ask you jokingly if you like pico. If you hear wrong the joke is on you. so thats funny.

DISCLAIMER: I, nor Rotary international, nor the chilean govt, or the dance club i was at condone underaged drinking, i do not reccomend it, nor do the any of my affiliations above. It is party of the culture tho, which i am suppose dto par take in.

I always wondered that. My guess is u cant tell exactly where the equator is enough to get plumbing there. LOL.


Just walk around near the equator with a couple milk bottles pouring water from one to the other. thats a great way to find the hottest place on earth. too tired to think properly. I am sorry

Enjoy the drinking. by the time ur done and get home ur gonna be so not used to being able to get a beer at dinner u'll probably cry.

Ummm..... could i ask, why this is un stickied? this sorta dissapoints me as army set it up for me to tell my tales of paintball, and tales of living in another country. I am dissapointed that this has ben unstickied in less than a week. I have ben updating it regularly, was there a problem with it? please some one respond.

[speedballbanks]

up for magman he is right, i like reading this sort of stuff.

[Jonno06]

yup,its educational too...the person above had no idea about the plumbing in the southern hemisphere..now he does...

you learn something everyday....here on AO(MTV news guys voice)

[magman007]

hey guys, thanx for carring, but i guess tom or some one either A did it by accident, or b felt it was un necessary. I am dissapointed if it is b, bout oh well, the watter swirls on right? but does any one kno what happens when your right on the equator? does it just sit stagnet? or drain straight down? heck, i shoulda checked on my flight over. oh well. Hopefully people will see that people care and it will be re stickied, if not, i guess il just stop writing.

[cphilip]

WOAH that was wierd! im ok now, my thumb hurts like a you kno what, but im fine.

[-J�ker-]

chile sounds like a high class form of mexico... cause in mexico you can buy anything you want to dont get tooo drunk you need the brain cells to remember your time in chile

[magman007]

hahahaha your right! haha thats great! but it hink most places are like that that speek spanish. It actually reminds me alot of home too! I think thats pretty cool, any ways, i wont get wasted, unless its in margarita ville! haha. i have olny oficially been drunk once, the other times were just a buz...

[personman]

lolololol
No on the equator when the water drains it explodes because it is being torn from 2 diffrent directions... thats why you dont take a crap on a toilet thats on the equator! (you will get sprayed with brown water)


Actually I dont know how that works..
