Hotel Alborada Concepcion

... sours for the hostel. The hostel was amazing, overlooking plaza de armas. with stunning views and a great lot of staff... AS much as it was lovely to see Mike it was really bizarre for me to travel with someone, i realised just want a little hobo i was as i craved a bit of space to go and do my own thing. I think we both felt like this, compound by Mike wanting to see valpariso and me wanting the waves, we went our ...

We verlaten het merengebied en gaan verder met onze tocht naar het noorden, via de rio Bio Bio naar Concepcion, de tweede grootste stad van Chile waar we een afspraak hebben met Dania, een weerzien voor Constanza 18 jaar later. Een kort bezoek aan de stad, enorm druk. Daarna samen met Dania haar familie een gezellige avond met lekker (en veel) eten - BBQ met heel lekker vlees.

... to take it. As we were starving,we immediatly headed out to find something to eat, the market was not that great so we settled on a kebab shop, how random in the middle of Chile, well for Chile, it was not bad, but I donīt think it would past the test if was in London! As Chile were playing Argentina in World Cup Qualifiers tonight, we though we go to a local bar and watch it, it was a good atmosphere, the Chileans are obviously very passionate ...

With just a little trepidation I looked out over the waiting crowd for Ricardo. Would he be very different after 20 years? No. Just the same. My short hair caused a moment of hesitation from the other side of the glass but no more than that. Where do you start after being out of contact with one of the most important people of your university years for so long. Well, 'You look just the same' is probably not original but it was what I said.

... lake, the only sound i could hear was the water lapping against my canoe, yep, fantastic! Then I jumped out of the canoe and went for a swim in the rather cold but Crystal clear water right in the middle of the lake, life really is rather good. It was Chiles national day on the 18th and all the houses display Chilean flags outside (they are required to do this by law) and everyone had a BBQ ...

Concepcion war immer noch verregnet und kalt. Keine Lust da zu bleiben und Isla Mocha waere auch zu teuer gewesen und zu kalt und zu regnerisch und zu baeh! Ich will jetzt in den Norden! Und ich hab schlechte Laune weil ich so vollgeregnet bin und einfach nicht trockne... und weil sich immer dicke Menschen neben mich im Bus setzen und schnarchen. Und weil einen Taxifahrer ...

... ridiculous, I kind of like it and wish I had time to learn more. Everything about it is just so... perfectly wrong. Like the word "huevon," for example. This word gets used at least once or twice in every sentence by people my age. It can function as a noun, verb, adjective, you name it. And when referring to a person, it can be a term of endearment (like amigo), or it can start a fight. For the ...

... 26 years old, respectively. Christian works in advertising, and Maricio is a student and works for a radio ( I think :)). Before coming here, I had read that families in Chile are somewhat different, in that the kids often live with their parents a lot longer. I also read somewhere that some American exchange students might find their Chilean families a little overbearing. This is the understatement of the year. Don't get me wrong, the family ...

... as Colo Colo ran on to the field all kitted up the crowd (who were 95% going for Colo Colo, therefore we too went for them for our own safety) went absolutely banana's. About a dozen flares went off, black and white fumes were being shot out of fire extinguishers, fireworks were erupting from seats in the stadium, people were throwing confetti and jumping on fences and the roar from the crowd was big enough to make any lion blush. However ...
