Chile Forum

Should someone give an advice with regard to a "good" place to live, and then some other one listens to it, and then, a couple of years later, something bad would happen to the listener in the said "good" place.. what would they say about such adviser?.. Good words?.

But then that absolves the recipient of the "advice" with
1) due diligence with regard their intended actions...
2) ultimate responsibility for their own actions

Hence... give me advice...
let me duly consider...
and make a decision - of which I must take ultimate & individual responsibility.

What say you...
Your advices... (and/or haiku)?
As Dubya famously said... Bring 'em on!
Permit me the ability for individual choice and responsibility.

this little paradise is reserved for nature lovers in search of authenticity.... We speak French, English, Spanish, a bit of Dutch and Chinese...

Xiexie ni, zhige hen haode, wode pengyou!

Though far from the world
Imagine you are so close
In Chile lies bliss


Best fruit of the land
Eat and drink to your pleasure
Yes Region VII

Excellent, Michel
You have the spirit
Let others grow and flourish

Good one. However, these "guys" are still Homeless, and are still Seeking, while you are obviously not, for you have already found and purchased your dream home "by the beach", right?..

why is the sky blue?..
why are falling so slowly
eucalyptus leaves?..



Cochiguaz? Maybe an interesting place to live. Though, the "mystical" Cochiguaz Valley is definitely not for everyone.

Here is one link:

{ Removed a link to parcelas for sale near "El Colorado", that is reachable from Monte Grande (around 18 km by dirt road, the only road towards "Cochiguaz"), as that link is no longer valid. }

Does not even look like their site is even still alive.

Yea, thanks!.. Too old..

This is so!.. This is so!..


With regard to that place in the VII region, that was mentioned earlier, here is what I have to add: From this place, some kilometers towards the border with Argentina, the Maule river is joined by the Puelche river..

HydroChile will invest U.S. $ 140 million in three power plants (50 MW) in Maule. The firm HydroChile introduced the project Puelche River Hydroelectric power plant, the construction and operation of three passing power plants with a generating capacity of 50 MW in total, two of them located in Puelche river and the third one in El Alto, in the Maule region, through an investment of U.S. $ 140 million.

Dear Greg / Judy:

May I provide a link today, that relates to the word used in my forum handle? If you have time to read..

Chukchi / Chukchi Jokes

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Jokes#Chukchi

A quote follows:

...Chukchi, the native people of Chukotka, the most remote northeast corner of Russia, are the most common minority targeted for generic ethnic jokes in Russia -- many other nations have a particular one they make fun of (cf. Poles in American humor, Newfie jokes about Newfoundlanders in Canada or jokes about Belgians in France). In jokes, they are depicted as generally primitive, uncivilized and simple-minded, but clever in a naive kind of way...

May I provide another link? This is with regard to the question, that was previously asked here (by john).

Nasreddin / Nasreddin's Tales

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin

A quote follows:

...The anecdotes attributed to him reveal a satirical personality with a biting tongue that he was not afraid to use even against the most tyrannical rulers of his time. He is the symbol of Middle-Eastern satirical comedy and the rebellious feelings of people against the dynasties that once ruled this part of the world.

Some mystic traditions use jokes, stories and poetry to express certain ideas, allowing the bypassing of the normal discriminative thought patterns. The rationality that confines and objectifies the thinking process is the opposite to the intuitive, gestalt mentality that the mystic is attempting to engage, enter and retain...

you guys make it all so complicated...just sip a beer by the beach.


Good one. However, these "guys" are still Homeless, and are still Seeking, while you are obviously not, for you have already found and purchased your dream home "by the beach", right?..

yes, it's true, i purchased a house by the beach. but i have never stayed in one house for very long, never more than 7 years, usually less than 3. i don't think that my wanderings are finished. but perhaps my new home will provide a base from which to wander, and learn, and continue to grow, in a variety of ways....musically, socially, economically.....

in any case, the end result of the intellectual musings of this thread is (hopefully) an increased ability to appreciate the moment, to soak in an experience with all senses open and receptive....sipping a beer by the beach is but one example of many possible examples, and for me, both a good end result and a fun process.

Dear Greg / Judy:

You honor greg~judy (+ allchileans) by this personal disclosure.
Even though I can neither "have" time... nor "make" time... I can certainly "find" time - for such erudite educational links.
BTW... I have known many a Newfie... and have joined in disparaging their fellows.
Now I am pleased to make acquaintance with a Chukchian... as I can indeed appreciate the qualities of a being who might be

Again, thanks, for edifying us to a wider cultural milieu, where such

bypassing of the normal discriminative thought patterns

can be allowed and appreciated.

Well spoken, my friend... we all wander, learn, grow... ceaselessly, throughout our existence.
Although many are loathe to admit it.
Many cease to wander - physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally...
They learn fewer lessons... and hence grow slower (if at all)

...in any case, the end result of the intellectual musings of this thread is (hopefully) an increased ability to appreciate the moment, to soak in an experience with all senses open and receptive....

Ah, yes... a Place to appreciate and soak...
In a narrower sense, where might some nice (remote) hotsprings exist as we work north.... where a receptive body (with open senses) may languish for a few of those moments?

six thankful feet
such bliss, at journey's end
