a little fun last night

So far, here in La Serena, sine I don´t know anyone, I haven´t had a chance to go out at night. And let me tell you, Chilenos are obsessed with their alcohol. the bars are where friends are made and generally where people hang out and I wanted to go, but there is no way i can go alone. So this group of internationals exchange students- from Brazil, France, Germany, and two from Mexico- came to spend the night at the hostel last night. So i went and introduced myslef and they invited me to go out with them. SO we went out and I had a blast. My two frinks rule is still valid, so as the German guy next to me poured his FIFTH glass, I declined for the millionth time. Anyways, After about 4 hours at the bar, where we met and decided to sit with another group of 8 people, we went back tot eh hostel. And it was awesome because I thought that for sure these guys, I mostly hung out witht eh German and the Brazilian, that they would be tired of me, but they gave me their information and said that if I ever came to the town their university, I need to call them and stay with them and they will take me out there. I am way excited ! Okay, now I sound like a blonde. But it is cool because the situation was not dirty, both guys have girlfriends back home and they know that I am not looking for anyhting but friendship.
On the other hand tonight I am going to hang out with this guy who I met tot the park who I think wants more than friendship, but I told him that I don´t want un novio (a boyfriend). But he is a teavher at ta local school and he seemed nice and he offered to show me around town, so that will be interesting. We shall see!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
