Providencia, Cafes, and Bellas Artes!

Yesterday, Monday, we had our first midterm for our microbiology lecture. It was an interesting test,in terms of scoring:
+4 = correct
-1 = incorrect
0 = no answer
Haven't had a test like that since the AP/SAT testing.
After taking our midterm, a bunch of us went to Providencia via the metro. It's a popular street with many stores and cafes. The cafes are what makes this place fun, as there are plenty to choose from. Cafes are the place to be here in chile.

Today, after class, we went to the Bellas Artes Museum near Santa Lucia. The museum is pretty sick, my favorite exhibition being the photography section by a local Chilean by Rene Combeau. His picture are has that Chilean aesthetic feel. Properly setup from lighting to positioning, he is able to convey what it is like to be in Chile. To top everything off, all his picture were in black and white.

After the museum, my roommate Kent and I tried to find wine bottle openers with a Chile logo. There are none to be found as we went through as many stores as we can. For a place that sells lots of wine, they sure don't have the essential tool to drink it. I hope to find one soon. yeee.
During our journey for bottle openers, we went to a cafe called "Cafe Tomodachi" or "Cafe Amigo". I had myself a superlatte caramel.

For dinner, a bunch of us went to a restaurant called Domino Fuente de Soda. I ordered the Rodeo Burger with churasco, courtesy of Mayur Mistry and last years travel study group. It's a burger with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese, churrasco, and onions. It was BOMB!

Today was a long day with lots of walking. The Pucon trip will be planned tonight after studying some FUNGI!
