The devil and road safety.

I've made it back to Santiago. And on the way back I saw the coolest cross walk sign. The little red man telling me to wait had a tail and horns. No way I was crossing til that went green. Then the little green man, well he was either a 3 legged man or really well hung... Either way it had me laughing for days.

So back in Santiago, I've been hanging out with some friends from Aus. Finally check out one of the coffee shops I have been eyeing off in the center of town. They are not so much coffee shops as gentleman's clubs. There are no seats, you pay for your coffee and then take your ticket over to the bar, where there are girls in tight mini skirts. Conviently they have this raised platform so you can check out the girls legs better. It was defiantly a men's club, ashing on the floor was allowed and there was not a single woman in there who wasn't working there. Also I think we might have been the youngest people there. It seems more a hang out for old dudes in suits. But hell, I'll be going back.

Onto Friday night. Firstly though I need to explain one little thing. At my hostel I have given up trying to get them to pronouce my name correctly, so they think my name is Jack. Even though it is spelt Zachary on the book. I figured I wasn't going to be there long so close enough was good enough. Looks like I might be there for a month now, so I am going to have to live with that... Anyway, Friday night I went out with Alex. We were enjoying a quite drink when we started talking to a couple of locals. Alex then introduced himself as Jack, I figured he would then tell them I was Alex, no problem I can play along with this... Didn't quite work that way, after telling them his name was Jack, he told these poor guys my name was Doodle. I then had to spend the rest of the night not only responding to Doodle, but also correcting pronucination on it. I even had to write it out for one of them. I will get you for that Alex. Somehow, someday, I will.

Later
Doodle.

(sorry about the speeling, but the spell checker here doesn't wok).
