So I am finally feeling comfortable here in my house and in this city... These past couple of days have been spent doing normal things around. Every night my host mom and prepare dinner and eat watching my new favorite TV show, a teleseria called Brujas... its getting kind of intense. I also have found out we get CNN en espanol here... score. Yesterday I meet some more of the extended family at a bowling outing. Bowling is always a good time. The little kids in my family are so cute. The mall where we went looked like it could have been an American mall... but stores here are cheaper. Last night I hung out with my host brother and his friends at there apartment. I am excited to be able to interact with other Chileans my age. It was interesting to hear there opinions on other Latin American countries. I was not aware of the large dislike Chileans have of Peruvians.

Today my host mom bought at DVD player from the grocery store... and with it she received 8 large packs of mayonnaise... as a special offer... it made me laugh. Here they eat everything with mayonnaise... its actually kind of gross.
Also today I took a walking tour of Santiago. It was probably not a good idea to go out lasat night and stay up till 7 but that's how they party here. The tour was really interesting. A lot of the toursity places in Santiago are very inconspicuous so it was nice to have someone show us around. Santiago has a lot of beautiful churches and open air markets. I will post pictures later...
This week I start classes... I will let you know how that goes...
