Hjemme igjen <3<3<3

Vi har hatt en super tur til Chile, og vi har fått et minne for livet. Vi har sett og opplevd masse nytt og spennende, og vi kan absolutt anbefale dere som ikke har vært der å dra dit.

Vi håper dere har fulgt med på bloggen vår, og på den måten tatt del i noen av opplevelsene våre.

Takk for oss =)

Basílica del Salvador

Me: Exscuse me, do you know about a sight I can see while I’m here?
Stranger: Yes, you can visit he Basìlica del Salvador.
Me: What is the Basìlica del Salvador?
Stranger: Basìlica del Salvador is in Barrio Brasil, which sounds like it is inBrasil but it is actually here in Chile.
Me: Thanks, but what is it?
Stranger: A landmark in Barrio Brasil is the quake-damaged, neo-Gothic Basílica del Salvador. It is often closed, except on special occasions.
Me: What and when are the special occasions?
Stranger: I don’t know. But I can tell you some facts about Basìlica del Salvador?
Me: Yes please!
Stranger: West of the Vía Norte Sur, the previously neglected Barrio Brasil is enjoying a surge in popularity. Deserted decades ago by the well-heeled for supposedly more desirable residences in the east, many of the younger well-to-do are returning to enjoy the area's lively bohemian buzz.
Me: Thanks! Bye!
Stranger: Bye!

Cementerio General

One day we decided to go to the Cementerio General in Santiago. We read about the place at the website “lonelyplanet.com” and decided to check it out. General means graveyard on Spanish.

The only ways we could get to Cementerio General was with car or walking. When we went to the little town Lampa we walked the whole way so we decided to walk to the Cementerio General. It is 9,9km long to walk and it will take 2 hours to go. We had to be careful on our way because some place there was missing pavements.


When we first got there we saw a dome entrance way. It was really amazing. When we went trough the dome we saw a lot of sculptures standing around. When we went a little longer inside we saw a lot of graves. It was really much interesting to see and we took a lot of pictures with Cecilie’s new camera, which she bought.

After we had looked around we met a little cute man who was a tour guide who was called Peter. At the graveyard we decided to ask him some questions about the place and its story.

Interview:

Pe = Peter
Ca = Camilla


Ca: Hey my name is Camilla and this is my friends Cecilie, Liam and Benjamin.
Pe: Hey my name is Peter and I am a guide here.
Ca: Can we ask you some questions?
Pe: Sure you can. That is why I am here.
Ca: I have heard that there are a lot of famous people who are buried here.
Pe: Yes it is. 2 people I know is buried here is: Salvador Allende and Victor Jara.
Ca: Who are they?
Pe: Salvador Allende was the president of Chile. He lived from 1908-1973. Victor Jara was a really famous poet and folksinger. He lived from 1932-1973.
Ca: Wow that is very interesting to hear about. Can I ask you another question?
Pe: yes of course you can.
Ca: how is it to work here as a guide?
Pe: Well it is really interesting and I meet new people every day that has a lot of new questions.
Ca: Have you met a person who asked you a question you didn’t know the answer to?
Pe: Yes I have. One day a little boy came to me and asked how many peoples who was buried here.
Ca: Wow. That is a difficult question.
Ca: Look at the time we have to go. It has been very nice to talk to you Peter.
Pe: Thanks. It has been very nice to get to know you guys too.

After a long day at the graveyard we decided to start walking home again. We had learned so much new when we was there and we had a memory for ever.

Cathedral Metropolitana

One day we decided to go to Cathedral Metropolitana in the middle of Santiago, which is one of many cathedrals with the same name, because it basically means ‘the cathedral of the city’. To get there, we had to take the underground rail which was a great opportunity to meet new people.

The Cathedral Metropolitana is the most important Catholic cathedral in Chile, and it was a beautiful sight. It had two towers in the front and it was very high so we felt small. When we got in, we could se the graves of very important persons in Chileans history. It was also a grave which keeps the hearts of the young heroes from the battle in Concepcion.
It really touched us to hear about the young people
who had fought for their country and their freedom.

We wanted to know more about the cathedral, so we asked a nice guide if he could tell us something more about the art in the big church.


“First of all, there are a lot of altars in this cathedral, and most of them are built in honour of persons that have been important for our culture and history. There’s also a name list and an oration which is hanging on the wall, and the other art in here, is symbolising different things, and most of the art is also historical,” he said.

We became curious about how it was to work in the cathedral, and when we asked, he told us that it was very exciting and he was honoured to get to work near so many historical and important things.


”Sometimes I meet people who don’t have any respect for the history or the culture, and then I just ask them to leave, because when they don’t respect the church, they don’t respect Chile or me,” he said.


We thought it was a very nice and clever guide and we agreed in everything he said to us. When we were done visiting the cathedral, we thanked our guide and started on our way home, with our head full of nice thoughts and memories.

Naturressurser

Chile er et mineralrikt land og kobberutvinning er en av de største naturessursene der.

Chile er verdens største produsent og eksportør av kobber, og særlig etterspørselen fra Kina har økt de siste årene. Chile har dannet 2 kobberfond, som minner veldig om det norske oljefondet. Teniente, sørøst for Santiago, er verdes største underjordiske kobbergruve og andre viktige gruver er Exotica og El Salvador. Chile er også en viktig produsent av molybdenmalm, og andre mineraler har mye å si for økonomien.

Fiske er også en viktid industri i Chile, og særlig sardiner og oppdrettslaks er viktige for fiskeriet. Chile er verdens syvende største fiskerinasjon og har de siste årene vært den nest største produsenten av oppdrettslaks i verden.

Chile regnes som det tryggeste landet å investere i, i Sør-Amerika.
