I went to a BBQ at my "uncle's" house yesterday (he's the hostdad of another girl from Michigan). He speaks a little English so it's easier to talk to him. Me gusta Spanglish. He has this book for all his host children called "How to survive in the Chilean jungle" which has all the Chilean slang in it. I desperately need this book! Later I met his mom who said something along the lines of, "Oh, if you wanted to learn Spanish, you should've gone to Spain! Our Spanish is very different!" So now I don't know what language I'm learning but I hope I learn it fast.
Oooh, and I was on the metro super early this morning, and the train went above ground for one stop and I saw the sun rising over the mountains. Oh my goodness-so gorgeous! Seriously, these mountains are insane.
Speaking of insane, Chilean pesos are messed up and I hate them. Annnd here the "." is a "," and the "," is a "." so 200.000 isnt 200 but 200,000. Maybe I'm stupid, but it took me 3 days to realize that.
Gah. Bueno, les echo de menos todo mi familia y mis amigos, y les amo mucho. Ahora, tengo que hacer mi tarea, despues el primer dia de clases! Es loco...
Besos y abrazos!
Oh! And my mom just got home and reminded me of how I walked out the door in my slippers this morning and had to run back upstairs to get my shoes. I'm her "gringa loca"! hahaha
And here's the view from my bedroom. Que bonita, si?
