It is not really covered by the media of my home country, but Valparaíso - the Chilean city that I want(ed) to visit in two weeks - burns. And it is not only a small fire. It is a terrible catastrophe with apparently more than 2000 destroyed houses and a number of casualties. Apparently due to the large number of earthquakes along the South American Plate, lots of houses in Valparaíso have been built from wood. Seems like Valparaíso's destiny is to stay unharmed from earthquakes, but go down in flames.
