Santiago, Chile

Reading Lonely Planet is a travelling hazard as we thought we're going to be mugged everywhere. It's not too bad as long as we walked along the main road. After travelling for a month, we succumbed and went to an Indian restaurant to get some chilli fix. The spicyness level of 1-4 and we chose 3, and paid the price for it. Really spicy!

USD8 for the bismati rice. Had super-spicy veg and flamed lamb leg Yumyum... total damage USD60.

In Santiago, we went for a Free Tour of the city. The tour guide is very humourous and the best story is about the coffee culture. They have a coffee chain called Cafe Caribe and the waitresses wore short skirts to attract customers. Along came another chain called New Cafe Caribe and they have waitresses wearing bikinis. Sometimes they have Happy minute when the manager locked the door and the waitresses remove their bikinis and dance on the tables. Of course we did not go to the New Cafe Caribe for coffee..sigh.
