This week here in Chile we are celebrating our Independence from Spain, 205 years ago.
In the school we had a pretty good time, wearing traditional clothes, eating typical food, playing games and dancing some national dances. Here, some pictures and videos.

One of
the English teachers, prepparing the fire on a barbaque,
to cook “choripanes”, a kind of hot dog.  |

One of the most typical dances along
Chile: the “cueca”. In this version, the student dances
to the national flag. |
This dance is typical in the southern
part of Chile, and it comes from a mixture with Argentinian dances.
