Yes, I am back to my favourite city so far in SA (sorry, Buenos Aires!). This is my last weekend here and in Chile before heading to Bolivia.
Friday, 16/05. Culture in the city
Before leaving to Easter Island we (with an English girl form hostel) bought tickets to Teatro Municipal to listen to Orchestra de Chile concerto.
I forgot how powerful Rachmaninoff 2nd concerto is. Wondeful, beautiful, emotioanl piece of work. Pianist (Russian of course as well as conductor) was fantastic: how person can change that much while performing? He appeared tall, then as small as dwarf, than taller again.
Bethoveen symphony was interesting as well.

Curious observation: no bis performance, after the Symphony audience left the hall very quickly. Strange. No flowers for performers too.
I missed this so much, cultural events during the travel. I am glad I was able to come to exactly this concerto. Happiness.
Finished evening with terremotto-french fries in the bar and beer in the hostel in a company of hostel staff (mostly).
Random observation: LA football commentators are specially trained to scream Goooooooooooool for minutes!
Saturday, 17/05. City tour (ish)
I finally went for free city tour in Santiago (deliberately this time), met there a girl I have seen in La Cueva de los Manos (how strange!). Was too tired from the night before, came back to the hostel. Quiet day.
Magic in the streets (taro experts)
