Psychobily music genre...

So, after Menodza I moved to Santiago for 4 days. I tried my first couchsurfing there.
Excellent experience with Nelson, the music freak, professional drinker (that is his description on his profile), very interesting guy.. you never know what to expect from a person, who is into tatoos, piercings and plays in a death metal band. But you can be positively surprised:)

Here is one of the songs, that broaden my knowledge of music genres.. did you know that there is a psychobily music genre? (from Wiki)

Psychobilly is a genre of rock music that mixes elements of punk rock, rockabilly, and other genres. It is one of several subgenres of rockabilly which also include thrashabilly, trashabilly, punkabilly, surfabilly, and gothabilly.[1] Psychobilly is often characterized by lyrical references to science fiction, horror and exploitation films, violence, lurid sexuality, and other topics generally considered taboo, though often presented in a comedic or tongue-in-cheek fashion. It is often played with an upright double bass instead of the electric bass more common in modern rock music

Mendoza and Alta Montania

Mendoza is a little city in the valley under the Andes.

First it looks pretty little town, with ´center managable on foot in 30 minutes. Then you discover that is so much more then the town. Vineries or Bodegas are everywhere around the city, with possibilities of giving turists a short peep talk about process of making wine and then the best part comes with wine tasting. There is also lots of chocolate and olives, which make the same show... I was actually surprised, when I booked the tasting tour... for 45 pesos argentinos (9 euros), we got a trip to 2 bodegas (5 samples of wine), one liquer private company (1 liquer to taste) and olive oil making company (tasting of 3 different olive oils on bread, and dried tomatoes and picked eggplant on bread). It was quite an interesting afternoon for small price.

But then the next tour, that takes your breath away is trip to Alta Montania. The high mountain tour.. the bus takes you to the Andes for 200 km ride one way in the mountains, right to the Chilean border. You can see Aconcagua from the bottom (and still far away, but it is impressive). You can see snow, deserted little places for winter skiing season (town, village or any description would be exagurating). Mountains take your breath away....

and the funny interesting fact is, that to ACONCAGUA top peak, there are 2 Slovenian routes! I was quite proud on our little nation, to make a mark on the map:)

Chilean border... we explored the customs procedure the next day.... 1 hour of burocracy....They should invent the ´Schengen` border for less complications:)

How fast an extroverted person can feel better

Just give me a person to talk to. And I will forget about my problems, my day will be better, I will feel alive...

that happened in Mendoza, after I felt little lonely in my lonely hostel. But then... new day, sun, new felow travelers and... lots of interesting conversations with Ralf, 67, german living in Canada, and traveling every free moments he can get...

here is one interesting song, which I listen now... doing the couchsurfing in Santiago, Chile, by Nelson, who happens to have tons of great music!
