Offering a healthful alternative to traditionally fatty fast food has made the SUBWAY chain a popular destination for health-conscious consumers.
Advantages: Good view... Disadvantages: ...but not the best
...♫ "Aux Champs Elysees… Aux Champs Elysees… Au soleil… sous la pluie…" ♫
Do you know the song?
If not, at least you must have heard of the Champs Elysees. French people like to call it "The most beautiful avenue of the world". I am sorry to contradict them, but I have always wondered why. It is in fact quite ordinary.
You'll find lots of cars, bad traffic, nice crowded shops and over-expensive coffee. That's it. Oh no! How could I forget? Among all that, you will find one of the most famous sights in Paris: the Arc de Triomphe.
It was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 in order to commemorate his victories, but wasn't finished until 1836. It is 50 meters tall and 45 meters wide.
I always thought the Arc de Triomphe was nice to look at, but I had never bothered visited it… until last summer.

Advantages: Great weather Disadvantages: 5th Avenue is oh so touristy
...Ciao Gelatos, etc. They also have Subway, McDonalds, Burger King, my favourite Dairy Queen, as well as "proper" restaurants. La Tortuga on 10th Avenue between 12th and 14th is great for breakfasts that come with free coffee, wifi and attentive staff. Ronaldi's down near the mall does wonderful Italian food, and 100% Natural, a local chain, feeds the more health conscious diners and more with their salads, enchiladas and 4 types of chocolate cake (though sadly no fizzy drinks - chocolate cake is ok, but Coke is evil). Bodeguita del Medio is the only Cuban bar/restaurant in Playa and offers free Salsa classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at about 7.30pm - we went on the invitation of one of our students who also worked there, and though our Salsa-ing leaves a little to be desired, we had a great night.
As you head down 5th Avenue, things get...

Advantages: World's highest capital that's high on life. Disadvantages: Oxygen tanks are expensive.
...can find them right beside the very busy funeral home on Avenue16De Julio.
Another hair raising activity that can be arranged is skiing at the highest resort in the world. The slope is situated at an incredulous 5,300 metres on Chacaltaya which means that ice rather than snow is the norm for the run. This is recommended for experienced skiers only or if your name is Harold Houdini.
EATING OUT
If it's a snack you're after then the trusted Saltena is a good option. A Saltena is a pastry, shaped in a semicircle, containing a variety of ingredients. We generally plumped for the Saltena Mixto which came rammed full of juice that squirted fountain like to leave every part of our body sated except our tummy's. Saltena Mixto usually has a piece or 2 of chicken and a vegetable soup coterie of other pieces. It is great value, going...
