Okay... so I have spent the past 3 days looking at the universities here trying to figure out where I want to take classes. First we looked at Diego Portales, a small private university that blends in with the rest of the neighborhood. I got the impression that the people there are rich and snobby, the ones who couldnt get into the good public universities. Here the public ones are better... Anyway so we also looked at U of Chile and Catolica. I like catolica the best, it seems the prettiest and most organized. Plus at U of chile the students were on strike for 6 weeks last semester so classes are going to start late anyway. The people at U of chile didnt seem to like americans very much either... they laughed at us a lot as we were touring their campus. They also had a mural of Chileans stabbing a bald eagle with an american flag with a spear... it was kinda disturbing. Catolica had a beautiful view of the mountains as well and while walking around we noticed a group of construction men driving around in a bulldozer listening to girls just want to have fun... it made me laugh... Anyway so thats that... hmmm... oh I went out for the first time with my american friends the other evening... we went to a bar and had some wine and met some sketchy old men. In the bar there was a sign that side "here everyone smokes" and an old man made fun of me for not buying cigerettes... today we also went to this wierd little cafe where everyone was dressed as pirates and we sat in midget chairs... Well I will write later...
