Capoeira Martial Arts from Brazil
Insanely Cool Martial Arts from Brazil. Capoeira is a mix of breakdance and battle started in Brazil. Feel the vibe and watch in amazement. Capoeira is an energetic, often acrobatic, dance-like style of martial art. Capoeira was first practiced by African slaves who were taken to work in Brazil. Capoeira is primarily based around kicking, and many movements are carried out while in a handstand position, Its moves resemble Breakdance, but with a deadly intent.There are a variety of forms of Capoeira, including where two people “play” fight each other inside a circle formed by spectators, while other members of the group play instruments and sing. The music dictates the speed or tempo of the movements. So the Capoeira fighter is expected to know the music as well as the attacking moves.
Realmente increíble, arte marcial Capoeria de Brazil. Capoeira es una mezcla de breakdance y batallas nacido en Brasil. Siente la vibra y observa en asombro. Capoeira es un tipo de artes marciales que es energético, acrobático, casi como un baile. Capoeira comenzó entre los esclavos africanos en Brasil. Este centrado en las patadas, y muchos movimientos se realizan en posición invertida. Sus movimientos se asemejan a los del breakdance, pero con intenciones mortales. Hay una variedad de tipos de capoeira, incluyendo las peleas amistosas donde dos personas "juegan" en un circulo formado por espectadores, mientras otros miembros del grupo tocan instrumentos y cantan. La música dictamina el ritmo y la velocidad de los movimientos.

Michelle Bachelet and Alien Graffiti
Michelle Bachelet is the female president of Chile. Apparently the sign maker doesn't approve of her political decisions. This is right as you enter downtown Santiago into the central district. There is some interesting Alien graffiti spray-painted below. I went to Spanish language class a few blocks from here at the Instituto Chileno Suizo de Idiomas y Cultura and received a certificate of Penguino for my duration of 60 hours.
Michelle Bachelet es la mujer Presidenta de Chile. Aparentemente el poster tiene que ver con desaprobación a sus decisiones políticas. Esto esta justo cuando entras el centro de Santiago. Hay un interesante graffiti de aliens justo debajo. Yo iba a clases de español a pocas cuadras de ahi, en el Instituto Chileno Suizo de idiomas y cultura y recibí un certificado de Pingüino por haber realizado el curso por 60 horas.

Brazilian Bikini Model
We went to Beleanario Camboriu, Brazil last week. The beaches were filled with girls in bikinis, and the thongs were everywhere. This is some example of the many hot ladies walking the beaches. It really is true about the thousands of girls wandering the beaches in bikinis. It was a nice vacation on the white sandy praias (Portuguese for beach).
Fuimos al Balneario Camboriu, Brasil, la semana pasada. Las playas estaban llenas de bikinis, y los cola-less abundaban. Este es un ejemplo de las muchas hermosas y sexys mujeres que camiban por las playas. Es verdad lo de las miles de mujeres en bikinis en las playas. Fueron unas muy buenas vacaciones en las playas de arenas blancas del Brazil.

Chile Chocolate Bars
My favorite candy in Chile is the chocolate bar Super 8 or Super Ocho. It has a similar taste to a kit kat or those Little Debbie treats. This candy is available anywhere they sell candy, like those kiosks on the street in Santiago. Super ocho is even sold by street vendors in the public buses around the city. I love Chocolate from chile. Another favorite candy bar is Sahne-Nuss. This candy should be sold in the states, I don't really get why its not sold there. The Sahne-Nuss is a much more premium priced sweet than Super Ocho, I've paid about 250-350 (50-65 cents) Chilean pesos for Super Ocho and like ($1.00-$1.25)500-800 pesos for the smallest Sahne-Nuss. The King-sized one shown here costs about 3.000 ($6.00 us).
Mi chocolate favorito en Chile es el Super 8. Tiene un sabor similar a un Kit-Kat o Little Debbie. Esta barra esta disponible en cualquier lugar donde vendan dulces, como en los kioskos en las calles de Santiago. Incluso se venden por vendedores ambulantes dentro de las micros (buses). Me encanta el chocolate de Chile. Otro favorito es el Sahne-Nuss. Este deberia ser vendido en los Estados Unidos, todavia no entiendo como no lo venden alla. El Sahne-Nuss es mucho mas caro que el super ocho, es el chocolate premium de Chile. Un Super-ocho cuesta entre 250-350 pesos chilenos y un Sahne Nuss pequeño entre $500-800. La barra grande de Sahne-nuss cuesta como CH$3.000.

Pichilemu - Cool Surf Spot
Pichilemu is a sweet surf spot on the beach 4 hours outside Santiago. It is the favored surfing location for much of the Chilenos that reside in the Santiago Area, Region Metropolitana. Punta Lobos (Wolves Point) is where the best of the best hop in the waters in search of big waves. The name comes from the sea lions that gather on the rocks. In Spanish they are called Sea Wolves. Its scary to surf off in between a bunch of rocks on your way to the break. In bad weather you risk smashing against large rocks just attempting to get in the ocean.
Pichilemu es el spot perfecto para surfear. Esta playa queda a 4 horas de Santiago. Es el lugar preferido por surfistas chilenos. Punta Lobos, tambien conocido como las Tetas, es donde los mejores surfistas saltan al agua en busca de grandes olas. El nombre viene de los Lobos de Mar que se reunen en las rocas. Da miedo saltar al agua entre un monton de rocas. En mal tiempo corres el riesgo de reventar contra las rocas, con erizos de mar incluidos.
Thats me Jeremy Dubs, filming some shots of surfing for the next Funner Films Movie in La Reserva de Surf y Naturaleza (Surfing & Nature Reserve).

The beach has a skate ramp to skateboard first and get hot, then surf some waves to cool down. Its amazing, surf and skate in the same spot.

La playa tiene una rampla de Skate. Primero andar en Skate para entrar en calor despues te vas a surfear unas olas para refrescarse un rato. Increible, surfear y andar en Skate en un mismo lugar.
