My HW (non important)

Viña del Mar is one of Chile's most fashionable beach resorts and a great place to take a vacation if you want go to the beach and relax. The town was founded in 1874 as a weekend retreat and garden residence for the wealthy elite from Valparaíso and Santiago, and it has remained a top beach destination for Santiaguinos ever since. Most simply call the city "Viña"
The sight of Viña del Mar's attractive homes, manicured lawns, and golden beaches dotted with colourful surfboards is something of a contrast to the ramshackle streets of Valparaíso. There are plenty of fine beaches here. Viña del Mar is a wonderfully relaxing place to spend a few days.
The city is divided into two sectors: the downtown and the beach-front Several downtown locations are desirable for their proximity to the lush Quaint Verger Park and shops, but it's about a 15-minute walk to the beach from here. The beach area is better suited for tourists, with plenty of hotels and restaurants.
For tours of the area check out Verschae Travel to see what they have to offer.Hotel Monterilla in Vina del Mar, cosy and friendly and within walking distance of the Casino and many fine restaurants, comes highly recommended or the nearby Gala hotel which also has facilities for events. You can also take day trips from there to Valparaiso which is just a few minutes away in vehicle. Verschae rent a car offers all types of vehicle for those who want to "get off on there own" to explore the area.One of the most famous beaches in Chile is also in the area; Reñaca Beach is visited by people from all over the world especially in the Chilean summer months which are November, December, January, Febuary and March.Please click hear for more info Valparaiso, the neighboring town of Vina del Mar.

OK, I have little else to talk about, so I will instead talk about music. Here are some of the songs I listen to frequently. There is a wide variety. In no particular order

talking heads- "psycho killer"
DMX-"X gonna give it to ya". yes, i know i am jewish. hence the blog title
The beatles- pretty much anything off the white album.
elton John- "rocket man (I think it's going to be a long long time)"
Run-DMC- "Its tricky" old school rap son
Bon Jovi- Its My Life
Weezer- (I love two of their albums, so its a lot) "My Name is Jonas", "The world Has Turned And Left Me Here", "Tired of Sex", "Pink Triangle".
Tenacious D- "F**k her gently"
Pink Floyd- "Comfortably Numb", "wish you were here"
Sublime- "smoke two joints", "santeria"
The Offspring- "why don't you get a job?"
Monty Python- "always look on the bright side of life"
NWA- "F**k the Police"
R.E.M.- "Losing My religion"
The Who-"Baba O'Riley" "Pinball wizard"

Yeah, that's it. If you think i have terrible taste in music, you may be on to something.
