In Chile we have various ways of dividing up the year, which "starts" with the school year and has its first break during winter vacation and again later, on the 18th of September for the independence celebrations; something that I wish would go on forever. After that, everyone thinks that the end of the year has arrived because it is only a few months away from Pascua -that's what we call Christmas in chile— and from there, the new years. Listo, chao 2011.

One day the office mates got together and went out for happy hour. Leaving from their office, which is located in Providencia, which place did they choose? El Mamut.

A few days ago, we talked about Chilean cakes at CiuSantiago and concluded that they generally come with Manjar (Chilean caramel spread) or pastry cream and that they are pretty boring and variety and innovation is missing. This reminded me about one of the best corners of Santiago to buy cakes, though not exactly Chilean ones.

The Rocco's map
Many times after I get off work, I get terribly hungry and tired and I really feel like eating something fast, good, without doing any effort and if possible at a relaxing place. When I feel like this, I exactly know where to go.
