Santiago de Chile - One of the 41 Places to go in 2011

According to The New York Times, Chile is one of the 41 places to go in 2011. I don't know if it is named in first place because of a particular reason or just at random.

Anyways, this is a great place to take a great vacation :)

Ted William, the Internet media phenomenon

Like millions of people around the world, I've been touched by the story of Ted Williams. Yesterday this 53 years old man with a magnificent radio voice was living in the streets. But thanks to a video by The Columbus Dispatch (watch it here) posted on 3rd January 2011, he is got the chance to be the official voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

You can find some interviews and his appereance on the news in the following links:

His mother was absolutely shocked by his sudden rise to fame. Read the full story in here. Please notice the before and after of a good haircut. He wanted to go to New York to see his mother but he couldn't because of the lack of a proper ID (details in here).

I feel so moved by his humbleness and I'm so very happy for him :)
