Classes have started! Yesterday was my first day, today I had only one. I'm done for the week. I've managed to not schedule any classes on Fridays. How convenient is that? :) With that said, let me tell you that the night life in Chile is VERY fun. I'm not a dancing type, but you just can't really help yourself. Let me explain.
Two nights ago, Tuesday, a small group of us led by una chica chilena, (her name is Cami, she's a host sister of another girl, Leanne) took us to a bar. I was expecting a crowded bar, you know some music, maybe a couple beers. Nothing extreme. We get to this place, which for the life of me I can't remember what it's called, and I could not have been any more mistaken. They're were colors, and music, and an MC. Hmmmmm. I'm thinking to myself. It seems we have entered into a KARAOKE bar. What the hell, let's have fun. I had a blast. The six of us sang along, and we even got into the action a little. My friend Jeff and I sang Mariposa Traicionera, and then like the gringos we are, we sang the Celine Dion song from Titanic. It was a really good time!
Yesterday, in addition to it being St. Patty's Day (which, for obvious reasons isn't really celebrated in Chile) it was Catherine's 21st birthday, a girl in my IFSA group. We all went out to Cafe Journal, a bar known to house a lot of gringos. It was such a blast. You we got there around 10:30, had a couple rounds, and then, all of a sudden, dancing. I'll let you use your own imagination on that one.. We all had a blast to say the least! Needless to say, tonight might be an early night.
If you were curious, carretear means to go out/party. One of the many chilenismos I have come across thus far. I'll try and make a list sometime for you all to say how different the spanish is here. It's really quite incredible!
Well that's all for now.
Ciao!
