Fascinating
Chile
Chile’s European heritage is pervasive,
meaning that Western travelers here are less conspicuous than in
neighboring Peru and Bolivia. For centuries, the Paris education
of many Chilean intellectuals influenced the country’s art,
music and architecture.
Important art galleries, museums and a thriving theater scene
are the result. The country’s art, literature and music have
been influential internationally. Chile has spawned the Nobel
Prize-winning poets Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda and, until
the military coup of 1973, its cinema was among the most
experimental in Latin America. Folk music has been an especially
important outlet for the country’s oppressed, and was frequently
performed overseas by exiles during Pinochet’s reign.
Over 90% of the population is Roman Catholic, though evangelical
Protestantism is becoming increasingly popular. The country’s
Catholic architecture is impressive and ubiquitous, from
grandiose colonial churches to roadside shrines, some of which
are extraordinary manifestations of folk art. Spanish is Chile’s
official language, though a handful of native languages are
still spoken.
In the north, there are more than 20,000 speakers of Aymara, and
in the south there are perhaps half a million speakers of
Mapuche. The most intriguing linguistic minority is the
2000-plus speakers of Rapa Nui, the Polynesian language of most
of Easter Island’s population
Hymn to cottage life
Finland is a land of interesting contrasts, such
as the four seasons, the Midnight Sun and the winter darkness,
urban and rural, East and West.
Long summer nights are best spent on the porch of a cottage,
enjoying a relaxing drink with family and friends.
Throw away
your clocks, forget about to-do lists and let the endless sunlight
recharge your batteries.
Finns have an inherent yearning for nature. Only five decades ago,
most of Finland’s population lived in the countryside and worked
in traditional trades connected to their surroundings. These days,
towns and cities are the most populous areas and people stay in touch
with their rural roots by escaping to cottages and cabins at the weekend.
Lakeside cottages are the ideal way for Finns to get away from modern
life, have time to breathe freely and simply listen to themselves think.
Sweating out the stress in a sauna, with regular cooling dips in the lake,
is the ultimate way to purify both body and mind, and these sessions can
go on for hours.
Nowadays, luxury cottages are available throughout the country and
are an extremely popular way to spend holidays. However, many people
prefer a more traditional approach, seeking smaller cabins that offer
the bare minimum of amenities and are usually located further off the
beaten track
