The server where everyone is hops away everytime he sees you. Try a different server (eg irc.quakenet.se, irc.quakenet.de, etc)

Okay, had to direct mIRC to another server (it was set on "Random US sever" and I put it on "Random server" -- yeah, highly technical stuff), but I made it back on. Thanks for the tip off Esprit ;D

I Suck.

Don't be so hard on yourself, there are funcers who suck ten times as much, and I fall somewhere in the 20X to 30X range easily.

Thx, 'Thump.

But that's just another thing that I should've known by now but have never really had to confront -- in sort of a grey area between things you know and things you do. Aggressive ignorance.

heading to sth america in around 2 mths time. On the agenda are Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina.

For those that have been, apart from macchu picchu which is planned, anything I should definitely check out that would otherwise be regretful?

I live in Chile.

The south (of Chile) is supposed to be pretty picturesque; though I haven't been there yet I've heard its full of lakes, forests and volcanos. Val Pariaso is the main port for the country and also fairly picturesque (or twee) with tiny but tall buildings built up the side of the mountains / hills - you can easily get vertigo there up some of the gantryways and lookouts.

Peru is good for seeing the Inca stuff, but haven't been there yet either.

Bolivia is famous (especially Sanat Cruz) for pretty girls.

south south chile is out of the question given the timing, it's going to be literally freezing from what I understand.

Was thinking of doing santiago and pucon before heading into la paz in bolivia and down to the salt deserts. From there into lower peru to make our way up to macchu picchu.

btw, where abouts are you?

Santiago

And yes, its fucking freezing now - I'm typing with fingerless gloves and feet of ice.

But the south is still fairly close, half a day's drive or so. They do centrally heated cabins out there. we've been arranging a trip for months but its never got off the ground.

see Lima, the largeness of the city combined with its happy poverty is amazing

and try to see the jungle, if you can (i went here: http://www.perujungle.com/lodge.html ) although it will be winter there (so maybe not too exciting)

make sure to log your journey!

you also could do a journey mirroring that of "the motorcycle diaries"

yep, lima's on the cards, for a little while at least.

dont have enough time to do the jungle (6 weeks) unfortuantely, plus the weather like you said will probably not be accomodating.

dont about a log, but there will be plenty of phtoos I'm sure :)

Halo
