Hi guys! How are things? My name is Bastian Dillems from Puerto Natales,another stunning city near Punta Arenas...I'm studying English Teaching, as well. This is my second year for that reason I am so intereted in your culture as well as you may be...This region is really beautiful but it is bitterly cold as Ms Krissa has already told you...What do you know about Chile? As you must already suppose we know such a lot about USA, but have you ever heard about Chile, or Punta Arenas? I don't think so and hope to be wrong..This region is so very small in comparison with yours but it is full of awe-inspiring landscapes. Actually, everything is so farm-like that you can see sheep or cows wherever you want (on a figure speech). Also, people are very united and pleasant here that I think Ms Krissa is feeling very comfortable, so don't be worried about that lol, ok guys, let me know about you, what do you like to do on vacation for instance, do you spend your spare time travelling or staying at home with your family? Huge greetings from the bottom of the world, take care
