lunes 27
activity: made a commercial video with chilean friends for la clase de un amigo.
learned: its more fun to take 5 hours to make a 1 minute movie so you can laugh and joke
martes 28
activity: helping with toma stuff. Myriam and I went to the university of Valpo to help cut millions of pamphlets and paint signs for the march. Later we went to the "suicide" where hundreds of students did a mock suicide in a plaza to symbolize how bad the education system is. We passed out pamphlets to passersby to let them know what on earth was going on and invite them to the march on thursday.
miercoles 29
activity: abrazos gratuitos por la educacion gratuita! free hugs for free education! I hugged every passerby that allowed it for 1.5 hours.
accomplishment: introduced myself to the students who were organizing this event and chatted briefly with them and the people I hugged.
jueves 30
activity: con con to eat empanadas! Mix of gringo and Chile
an friends went to the nearby town of con con where they supposedly have the best empanadas. then we ate them on the beach and took pictures
learned: shrimp is not so bad when its covered in cheese and fried bread. jumping 40ish times in a row trying to get a good self-timer jumping picture on the beach is both super entertaining and good exercise. also don't buy things off the street. Particularly batteries. they don't work.
viernes 1
activity: pizza hut on the beach all day with gringo friends. It was their last day in Chile, so we spent it on the beach eating pizza hut, chatting, taking pics until the sun went down.
learned: you can't get bored on a beach in Chile.
sabado 2
activity: cumpleanos de diane! she had a costume birthday party with lots of chileans and gringo friends (she's in a different program than I am, hence the reason she's still here. most of the kids from my program are now gone).
accomplishment: introduced 21 people to bananafrio = lives were changed. only messed up telephone once while playing with Chileans. Successfully performed a dance unknown to me as my punishment for messing it up
learned: really. don't buy things off the street. particularly leggings. they come with holes in them.
domingo 3
activity: guitar all day with diego
accomplishment: learned one of two guitar parts to two new songs.
lunes 4
activity: monday night futbol (soccer) in Chile! we beat mexico!
learned: Chileans are serious about their soccer. Everything shuts down when Chile has a game. We're talking world cup games, not just the normal in country ones. It's like our football on steroids. These games aren't even important yet but they're more popular than the superbowl at home. Chi-chi-chi! Le-Le-Le! Vive! Chile!
miercoles 6
activity: cumpleanos de un amiga de Diego. Diego invited me to go with him to the birthday party of a friend of his. No, I didn't know her.
learned: Chileans are so warm, welcoming, and accepting.
viernes 8
activity: friday night futbol. Javo singing in bar in Valpo. First I watched Chile tie Uruguay in the church (because even youth group gets pushed back for the game). Then I went to a bar in Valpo to support one of my friends and watch him sing. He did awesome. super seco. I told him to go pro.
learned: when I said Chileans were super welcoming, I wasn't kidding. The dad of the girlfriend of the guy who is friends with my friend (who sang) who I am friends with because he's Diego's best friend....bought us all drinks. And then his daughter (the girlfriend of the friend of my friend) invited me to go with them to see the south of Chile next week. It's just us girls, she told me. Sounds like an adventure!
