  1. @Pepelali y eso donde? en Recoleta me dijieron que guateaba la luz. No vi nada en el centro, pero igual me quedé dormida temprano.
  2. Tell me what you know about Japan for kids. @tinaseamonster is considering taking the seamonsterettes (twin 7 y/os of awesomness) to Japan.
  3. @mmonterom awww, thanks. I was checking out your art. I love the piedras de paranal. Pretty! (plus I'm trying to go to paranal soon).
  4. @mmonterom depends how much you want to combat unemployment, I suppose. Chile's system employs a lot of people!
  5. RT @albertomontt: ·) Este es el emoticón que usan los cíclopes para decir que están contentos. ja.
  6. @mmonterom no reason you should know. They send forms, long and short, to different households. If you don't submit, they visit, I think.
  7. In Chile they do the census door-to-door. I am not kidding. Here's what it's like: bit.ly/JAsZRu #chilecensus2012
  8. @nerdseyeview Thanks, Pam. You always like my memoir stuff. (No longer a) secret: I really do, too.
  9. on losing my last ties to New York bit.ly/KIPF5E (blog). Wonder when I'll be back.
  10. @willw9 dale, keep me posted. what dates are you looking at? Enjoy Mendoza, etc.
  11. @BootsnAll Tks for the Santiago shoutout, @willw9 let me know what you're looking for. We will scorn, but not harm you if you skip stgo. :)
  12. @petermurphy sorry, I wasn't tweeting from on the road. He drank a juicebox and fell asleep, you weirdo.
  13. @AnujAdhiya looks very, very handy, and is finding things that @kayak @orbitz @tripadvisor @travelocity and @hipmunk didn't. Wheee.
  14. @AngieAway thanks, but it's a multi-city itinerary, looks like maybe they only do RT?
  15. who has been giving you the best deals on flights lately. I'm looking on kayak, but am open to other ideas. hipmunk? anyone else?
  16. eating on food stamps for a week? What does that look like? Mario Batali pronounces him self "@$%· starving". bit.ly/LO6s52
  17. RT @legalnomads: Thanks to @theretronaut for curating these great color photos from Mongolia in 1913: bit.ly/JGfOiO (woah)
  18. @petermurphy what do you need? Also, why didn't you just call?
  19. @peterkrupa I have not. And now I have great sadness. I couldn't believe I didn't have even my phone with me. grrrr. got a pic of rave bike?
  20. I saw the googlemaps triciclo (cargo tricycle) today in Barrio República. Consider me baffled. And camera-less, believe it or not.
