Esta es la Well CXXII: Diego - Digging my way up like The 33!

[Diego]

Hey! I've been given the torch by the cool, well-spoken Chris of Arabia.
I've been a bit away from the forum in the last months, but I'll always be here one way or another.
Also, I'm almost 6000 posts old! Nearly 10 years here. Wow.

Shoot!

[DarkMatter]

What kind of beer are you holding in your avi? I'm assuming it is a beer?

[Diego]

It is a Die M Red Ale (www.cervezadiem.cl) and that picture is like 7 years old!
Loved strong beers back then and I still do.

[Evan Skopp]

Did you know, for several years, we had an employee at Seymour Duncan who is originally from Santiago?

[Gearjoneser]

Tell me the thing you love most and the thing you hate the most about these South American countries.
I always want to hear the perspective of the ones who live down there.

Brasil
Venezuela
Colombia
Peru
Bolivia
Argentina

Mi casa es su casa?

Robaste mi cerveza? Cabron!!

Sólo bromeando. Eres una buena persona. ¡Salud !

[kramersteen]

Why are you the same age as me?

[EDX]

que tipo de cerveza prefieres, rubia, oscura, roja?
tomar (cerveza) afecta el tono?

No clue! Who's he/she? I'm jealous, I'd love to work at Seymour Duncan but I think my competences are somewhere else.
Who knows, eh?

Brasil

Colombia

Brazil:
Good? Great food, amazing place to visit, girls have fun with no shame about it.
Bad? The heat, a bit dangerous at times, and man are Brazilians loud or what? If a brazilian's a mile around you, you'll know.

Venezuela: Never been there.

Colombia: Never been there.

Peru:
Good? Incredible food, inexpensive traveling/lodging.
Bad? Anti-Chilean attitude.

Bolivia: Never been there.

Argentina:
Good? Good meat, everywhere. You'll have a hard time finding better beef anywhere in South America.
Argentinian women are stunning. Argentinians have a great sense of their culture, they're proud of it and it shows.
Jaw-dropping landscapes in the south. Great attitude towards tourists if far-away from Buenos Aires.
Bad? Chauvinism. Plenty of it.

[Diego]

que paso amigo?
Ni idea.

donde esta tu biblioteca?
Anywhere as long as I've got a guitar to show it!

Mi casa es su casa?
Sin duda, señor. Y al revés, también!

Robaste mi cerveza? Cabron!!
Es posible...

Sólo bromeando. Eres una buena persona. ¡Salud !

¡Salud hermano!

[Diego]

Why are you the same age as me?

Intervals of time and space. I certainly don't look as aged as that guitar.
Why does it have more frets than my age?

I like all sorts of beers! Too bad every single pub in Chile is now shoving their homemade stuff up your face, and most of it tastes like Lidocaine.
I'll take beers from well-experienced breweries, and not from guys who read 10 minutes ago how to make beer at home in a blog and want to charge me for it like it's a Belgian Ale, thanks a lot.

Beers don't affect tone, but they affect flatulence quite a bit and that's even better, isn't it?

[Chris of Arabia]

Venezuela: Never been there.

You have missed little - Chavez did a right old number on it too. I last visited before he took over, and it wasn't good then either. It's where my B-I-L died in August. But anyway...

Tell us where you would like to travel in the world, and what you'd like to see

You are given 48 hours to visit any period of history; where would that be, who would you like to meet, and what would you like to do whilst there?

[Evan Skopp]

No clue! Who's he/she? I'm jealous, I'd love to work at Seymour Duncan but I think my competences are somewhere else.
Who knows, eh?

She was the art director.

[dd12939]

What are your thoughts on classical music? Do you have a favorite piece or composer?

Do you have a favorite pair of socks?

Seymour and MJ are coming over for dinner. What do you cook?

[ImmortalSix]

Hey Diego!

What's your all-time favorite movie, and what do you love about it?

What album have you played more than any other album, regardless of whether it's your favorite? Why do you think it's your most played album?

How important is raising children to you?

Who's (whose?) comedy do you relate to or appreciate the most?

What is the band / artist that you've loved forever but nobody knows about, and you want to shout from the rooftops, "LISTEN TO THIS!"?

[Lazarus1140]

Compared to other places where you've eaten it, how is the chili in Chile?

[newking70]

have you sailed around cape horn

[Evan Skopp]

So speaking of the title of your Well thread, what was it like in Chile during the mining accident? It was big news here in the States. Was it insane in Santiago? Are any of the 33 currently celebrities? How has that incident changed Chile?
