I was going over my notes today, and I realized that I had neglected to post a couple of things that I discovered recently about the public transit system in Santiago. Let’s fix that. Back when Dan and I visited the chocolate expo at Portal Ñuñoa, he showed me a neat trick that you can ... Read More
I think I’ve finally figured out how to take a shower. It turns out I’ve been doing it wrong almost the entire time I’ve been living in this apartment. See, at the place where I’m living, we don’t have a water heater with a tank. Instead, we have a gas heater that flames up when ... Read More

Over the course of my travels, I have always wondered what would happen if I missed my stop on a long-distance bus. Today, I got to find out.
