Chilean Happenings

After skiing on Friday, everyone was pretty tired. We all dragged ourselves home and ate, showered, and rested like there was no tomorrow. Not exactly sure how you can rest like there is no tomorrow, but we did!

Nine o-clock rolled around and I was bored of resting like there was no tomorrow. Aaron's host brother's friend was having a small gathering in his apartment in Providencia (right near the border with Las Condes). It was close and a great chance to hang out with Chileans, so I convinced Kamillah and Aspen to come along and the three of went with Aaron and met Katrina at the apartment building.

We ended up drinking some piscolas and having a blast. We also played the Chilean version of Kings. Before I knew it, it was 2 o-clock. Everyone decided to head out to a club, but I was too tired and headed home. It turned out to be a good decision because the cover charge for the club was outrageous and most of the people changed their minds when they got there.

Last night was another chance to hang out with Chileans. Emily and her host brother hosted a wine and snack party. I bought 2 liters of cheap red wine that came in a plastic bottle as well as two bags of potato chips (corte americano, of course!). We were drinking pisco sours, wine, and piscolas, and listening to some great tunes while chatting with Emily's host brother and his friend. The low-key gathering later turned into a nice little dance party. The night ended around 2am, I would say.

No hice algo demasiado interesante este fin de semana, pero fui a la nieve para esquiar y aprendí que no lo odio tan como yo pensaba. Aunque no hice algo muy interesante, me divertí mucho. Normalmente, prefiero estar con amigos y tomar algo mientras escucho música. Entonces, lo que hice este fin de semana era perfecto para mi. Creo que el grupo va a Valparaíso el próximo fin de semana. Creo que alugnos de nosotros vamos a qudarnos en un hostel allá para disfrutar de esa ambiente.

Stay tuned,
Dan

P.S. Romy Oltuski is amazingly hott!
