Another Culture.....

I am realizing the importance marriage is to women here in Chile. The women I talk to who are my age (between 23 and 26) seem to be only interested in getting married. Meaning, they make many comments about when they will get married, having kids and how their getting old (a 23 year old said this one to me).

Valparaiso es muy bien pero esta poco frio ahora. Ustedes tienen mucho sol. Yo estoy extranando Parque de Dolores intonses deja de escribir en Twitter que tu vas a irlo.

Tres hace dias, yo ayude mi profresora con su clase de ingles. Ella ensena ninos jovenes y los son muy energético. No los se sientan por un minuto. El clase ha estado divertido. Ella ensena cada sabado y voy a ir proxima sabado . . . tal vez.

Ahora, estoy organizando mi viaje a Buenos Aries. Estoy buscando un departamento y lugares puedo voluntario. Mucho lugares de voluntario costan mucho dinero pero yo encontre un sitio de Internet con enlaces libre y barato lugares a voluntario.

Bueno, tengo hambre y necesito hacer mi tarea.

Adios mis amigos!

(Valparaiso is very good but is a bit cold now. You guys have a lot of sun. I am missing Dolores Park so stop writing in Twitter that you are going to go there.

Three days ago, I helped my teacher with her English class. She teaches young kids and they are very energetic. They do not sit down for one minute. The class has been fun. She teaches every Saturday and I am going to go next Saturday . . . maybe.

Now, I am organizing my trip to Buenos Aries. I am looking for an apartment and places I can volunteer. Many volunteer places cost a lot of money but I found a website with links to free and cheap volunteer places.

Well, I am hungry and I need to do my homework

Bye, my friends!

On My Own Again....

Laura was here for two weeks and it was so great seeing and drinking with her. She left today for her long trip home. After she left Santiago, I decided to come back to Valparaiso. I found a room to rent for the next few weeks.

Valparaíso is a hilly city by the bay with political protests in the streets....and I wonder why i like this city so much. I decided to not stay in Santiago for a month but to rent a room here in Valparaíso.
