C'mon chuck, we said to drink some chicha not fall in!!!!!

At least I think that as the days go by and we have heard nothing, the story or stories should be really good....

ciao, el puelche

speaking of brewing your own beer, i've done it a couple times and have all the equipment, however i buy the ingredients from a supply place here in the states. It's a blast, and even if it doesn't turn out as good as store-bought, in your own mind it's way better cuz you made it yourself. for you beer lovers, i highly recommend it...it's just kinda tedious with all the sterilization and steps and whatnot. This last batch of mine turned out better and i'm sure all subsequent batches will keep improving.

brew on

I've been anxiously reading the ongoing saga of Chuckj - collecting tidbits of info on BEER as I read. Hope Chuckj is fine. Don't think I'll do Chica, but I think I will definately beer-sample my way around. Question: Can I buy and carry a few bottles with me for the long bus rides (is that frowned upon), and do they have toilets on the buses?

I've never been thrown off a bus for drinking beer, in fact they stop for me when I have beer...and remember there is a big difference betweeen "chica" and chicha!!!!!

ciao

I'm a fan of pisco in your Watts juice bottle. No one'e the wiser (except you).

Good Grief! I guess I better be careful and not send my husband to buy Chica for me. Wouldn't be the first time we made a goof. Broke my leg in Costa Rica a couple of years ago and had to send him out grocery shopping the day after returning from the hospital. List: Pollo entero- grande, 1 kilo of atun. At the market instead he asked for a macho polo ("this big" he indicated with his hands) and a kilometer of atun. Thanks to kind shop owners (supressing laughter) he came home with the goodies and promptly informed me that I was never allowed to break a bone, or get sick again. Ever.

I came upon your forum and thought you looked friendly enough to ask for some advice

I am Chilean, and I've been searching on and off for 5 years for 2 member sof my birth family and have so far come up with no answer, and several rude people along the way.

Just wondering if any of you who are currently there could give me any advice on where to look. I have names and ages of my birthmother and birthbrother and that is all.

Thanks very much

I live in the Twin Cities. I'm in Coon Rapids, a suburb of Minneapolis.

I did get the PM, thanks.

Funny. I am also fairly new to MN. I lived in WI until I was 19, then moved to Minneapolis for school. So I'm new to what is a suburb and what is not, so I could be wrong.

I think I know where that is. I've heard of Pine City, at least. I see you are in Temuco. I have a friend I met online, also adopted from Chile, and she was born in Temuco. She was lucky enough to go there last winter with the lady who helped her parents with her adoption. She went to Santiago for a bit as well, and took lots of pictures for me. She was really moved by the experience, I hope to be able to see Chile someday also.
