Monticello Casino Night
Lucky Luke and I went to the casino last weekend with another couple. Casino Monticello is just outside of Santiago - not in Santiago - due to some legal reasons that prohibit Santiago from having the casino in the city. 
After playing some roulette (and winning!) in the casino, we decided to try our luck at bingo. Of course, Lukas had a bingo and won $40.000 Pesos!
Oktoberfest in Malloco
On the way to Malloco with Lukas's workmate Arnoldo, his girlfriend Macarena, and Macarena's workmate Yuko, we stopped at a kiosk to have a taste of the local treat, Mote con Huesillos. .jpg)
It is a sweet and refreshing dessert drink that contains wheat flakes and dried apricots.
Oktoberfest!!!
Yuko, Lukas, Arnoldo and Macarena. We had a truly national team - Japan, Austria, Chile and Finland!
My expression would let you assume that this was taken after all that beer, but nope, it was before! ;)
The day was wonderfully warm and sunny, just excellent to spend it outside sipping beer.
At the Oktoberfest typical German food, traditional songs and different sorts of beer were served by Chileans in Dirndl and Lederhose.
The first beers: Salud! Zum Wohl! Kippis! Kampai! .jpg)
La Fiesta de la Cerveza attracted a lot of people.
There were also many nice stands that were selling local Chilean handcrafts. 
And brought out the child in us. :)
Trying on the Oktoberfest hat. It fits!
The best beer we tasted was from New Zealand. 
At some point we started to sing some beer songs: "Oktoberfest, Oktoooooooberfeeeest, Oktoooo-oooo-ooobeeeerfeeeeeeest!!!"

On Saturday night after the beer party we still joined a bunch of Finns celebrating Halloween. These were our costumes!
