Chile: a pretty cool place! :)

for my round the world geography trip i've decided to choose Chile and new zealand as my two countries id visit. i chose these two countries as i felt i hadnt really much knowledge on either of them so i set out to change this! for my slideshow presentation i chose Chile to present to the class as i think a lot of people forget about this small country southwest of America. Chile is a really fascinating country from its hot spring geysers to the lush forests of the fjords! recently in the news there was a lot of coverage of the copiapo mining accident where 33(los 33) men were trapped hundreds of metres beneath the ground and it just shows how such a forgotten country rose to the task of rescueing these men and not only that but did it before the actual time they had said they would be able to rescue them and the major success of the rescue had a lot to do with the Chilean president Sebastian Pinera who is now one of my idols!!!

one of the places ive decided to visit is The Easter Islands. it is a very famous landmark so much so that some people call it the eight wonder of the world. On this island you will see 800 maoi which are these stone statues of strange looking heads. theyre all in a straight line and they continue around the perimeter of the island. it really is one of the wonders of the world and for this reason and many more i think more people should visit Chile as it really is a pretty cool place!!:)
