Hällo egg ÄM se Dschinga - as always
What is my report from the month of January of 2010 ... So to speak the first quarter of the era of Tatanás Piraña - Yes, exactly, Piñera has won the elections and is now the new President of the Republic of Chile. More on that later.
Sun So I am took a bus to Santiago. Of course, not alone but with my host sister, Coni, which made the whole trip a lot bearable, because even though the night in as a normal class Pullman coach was nice not necessarily so at least I had someone to talk to (we had unfortunately been too stingy for salon cama or semi-cama could ... our aching bones's with 17 hours pay for sitting with no leg room). When we finally arrived in Santiago, I think I had already pretty much be able to fit all possible positions by, in the (vain) hope to stimulate the circulation of my legs a little - Then I fell down accordingly also the first time along almost the same as I tried to get up. Thank God there was also almost no one on the bus, so that only Coni, the Stewart and an old, cranky lady from Temuco my mitbekamen (level) fall. Stand up, backpack searched and got out: (! Something I had last seen in London when my parents brought me to the airport) for the first time in nearly half a year I stretched my cuddly Näslein in 33 ° C and was glad clearly daru ; about when I first time I rolled up his trouser legs to expose my pale legs of the sun. Coni said the same time that the climate in Santiago would be just awful Chiloé and miss ... Well then! ;)
We were picked up by Conis uncle and aunt and the first day we took the tía the Cerro San Cristóbal, one of the local mountains of Santiago, from which you a great view of the city has, and on which I was already on my first visit to Santiago. We came up with a taxi, not because we are so incredibly lazy (... or right?), But because the entire "trail" up to the first high observation deck a single car run is where the taxis, cars and buses like to provide a nice race and the pedestrian and bicycle riders who were brave or stupid enough to choose this means of transport, actually only be able to pray. To top up the young woman statue we have gone the way not only because we had an aunt in tow, and for some mid-fifties, just not quite as good level, hochzukraxeln in heat for ages stairs. A good prospect we had also won. To come-down from the mountain, we were again terribly spontaneous and asked simply nice a gentleman who was with child, bowling and especially a car with open cargo space on the road, if he will not until the foot of the mountain could bring. He could, and we were allowed to, while below us the panorama of Santiago on a clear summer day was to let the airstream around the ears hiss, which is a very welcome refreshment was after the hour-long in-the-sun-around Stratz.
then showed us the tía remember how we came by subway and bus home and the university, and then we both are, I believe, been finished so that we lay down to sleep at 6 clock afternoon and until the next morning, not waking up.
nice, ne? Made you jealous? I've heard, lovely 10 degrees during the day, right? ; D
began the day after to even the University of everyday life. That is, we stood at 7.30 in the morning (so I shall, Coni no value to a balanced breakfast ; P), and had to shower the same time, because in Santiago also sweating a bit at night as whatever. After that, I've always had breakfast delicious, because in contrast to Chiloé where the fruit is really delicious and of good quality, while in the more remote provinces, unfortunately, only the third or fourth choice delivered is so that I almost half a year rather sporadic eat fruit, even though I love it but really so! : ( matter Stgo wars in any case well, so I always fresh and strengthened with the obligatory coffee in the stomach midnight ride
first challenge on the first day.. Bus travel is relatively easy to get into a bus, unless you healthy knee, but in a metropolitan city like Santiago, where the lines are long and look to all corners of the same, you have to really pack on the head sometimes, if you just do not know where to get off just now. did not help much that we had told the tía the day before, we should simply on a high-rise red brick based, because this morning we found, unfortunately, to our horror that it is a total of eleven p.m. on the entire route! U, U
Accordingly, we would have a total of almost twice got out at the wrong stop (once I was already outside the bus, as Coni screaming stopped, and disembarking in the middle of a panic, I re-sole speed quickly - I managed it just yet, and an older man turned to us and said "You see both a bit lost, where are you going?"
Well, after we so alike again as girls had outed from the provinces, showed us the nice man to happiness, where we had get out, so that in time we reached the Metro. Driving with the Metro, is surprisingly much easier and clearer than I've always thought. Without problems we squeezed ourselves to rush hour in the jam-packed train and arrived on time at five to nine on at the university, so that the giant cross with a rather unusual for me, yes master sprint in just a 1 / 2 Grü ; was cross nPhase. ;)
I will not write about every single Unitag, interesting as it was then not yet so - so I sat eh always with my new book in hand ( La Isla bajo el mar by Isabel Allende , which incidentally is not the daughter of Salvador Allende, as many believe always). During breaks and after the lessons we gathered together a small group of us quickly nice people with whom we had only started to take unfortunately only in the last week to do things. It was great fun to go along with the new and old friends in the Fantasilandia or in museums. This, of course, I could write much, but I'm not really become hard-working, let me once again auftanzen prefer the pictures:
The University
La Moneda to visit the exhibition of the museum below, where at the moment some of the famous Chinese terracotta warriors are issued at all and everything above + turns to ancient China:
A day at the playground (where we belong) : D
pool afternoon Ponxi with my girlfriend and a few other friends from Chiloé ü , over the roofs of Santiago :)
The following day, the penultimate day of the course, we agreed with our new friends to go to Fantasialandia, which, strictly speaking, as a smaller, less ostentatious and therefore much cheaper, but still super cool site of the German Phantasialand in brothers , is to designate St. near Cologne.
I forgot, of course, I probably have a slight predisposition to idiocy, my camera again, but this time I was lucky and my friend had thought of their Ponxi, so now I still own some Sho ; photos'm nervous. :) By the way has been found at the end that most of the group a bunch of mimosa soft eggs and had no desire to Fantasialandia because almost all of them had ever visited it and vomited after three rides. Thus remained faithful to the end of 15 persons only 4 its original plan for the day: Ponxi and I, supporters of the small but rollercoaster sect, Camila, clueless, because they had never been there, and Karla (if foreboding and evil), because she had me quite thick-doll-promised. Let's get ready to rumbleee! ; D
Ave, Fantasialandia, Morituri Te Salutant ! ; D
el "Raptor" ;: D \u0026lt;3
... prior to the infirmary after the "Raptor" Karla had given the rest : /
The next day, the last day of class, I went to the University alone some stations further down towards the center in order to meet with my gravel moose Anna, another German YFU exchange student who spent her year in the north in the desert town of Calama, her character is the driest city in the world. Respect! I had my sister stone to the preparation week in Lauenburg on the Elbe to know, and we getz how to read, yes, even our own very special nicknames for each other ; D Actually yes we had before, to pay the YFU office a little visit, just to say hello, but as we all there vorfanden only verramelt and locked, we changed the daily schedule for a spontaneous visit to the cinema ("Avatar" in 3D - that's why the stylish Freak glasses ...) in the shopping center Alto Las Condes, close my showcasing temporary residence. Ham spent the day jut, willing, Anna stones? : D
Sun Now we would also once again to the unfortunate policy. ;) Jaa sorry, I cares halt.
had perhaps already beginning even mentioned very briefly that my little, personal favorite Tati Piraña now President of the Republic of Chile. As luck would have it, we were in Santiago, when he was elected - by the way did you know that the Chileans can only choose in their home community? My host father, who is registered to vote, had to apologize to the police as either incompetent, because we are now once in the period around 2,000 miles from his home community were located. No matter
... all day was awful quiet about it - you would not believe that one can have in a huge city like Santiago boredom, but it's probably really nothing is impossible - Maldición ! ; D
the evening came at last on mood, especially with my family because all members are closed to the rights and therefore for Piñera. We drove the endless road Avenida Las Condes / O'Higgins / etc. and what-I know along that is different from Las Condes to the center of the city and from there I know where winds. All windows down, Piñera- or ( always nice to stay neutral!) in my case hung out Chile simple flag and then cheered, if you know the Jutes Seba, I was just watching the janz neutral Eszenario , which is offered me: hundreds of cars in this ever-long street, all cheering and waving Chile-/Piñeraflaggen, honking, screaming, jumping - something I had never seen until now, I am almost certain !
... Finally, after I together with my host cousin and sister grew out of the car and locked again less than two kilometers by vehicle Zone was gone, we finally had in the Plaza Italia , where several hundred supporters gathered Piñera determined pushed close to a stage. From giant speakers echoed Reggeaton to keep people amused, and they danced, sang and celebrated everything and everyone - and I suddenly understood: ey, the wait here but to whom ! Jahaaa, on whom most? At the moment, and myself at last the famous penny or in this case rather peso fell, my host cousin pointed next to me on a very tall building at the other end of the Plaza, a famous Hotel and yelled frantically, "OH MY GOD, GIRLS, AS TO THE BALCONY! Pinera IS THE "
Jap. That he was. The future president of Chile was on the balcony, overlooking the intended huge crowd, a crowd that had come to honor him along ... I found it quite nice ! ;)
He eventually came on stage and has an eternally long speech which I unfortunately did not understand much because next to me said a bunch of idiotic young people to celebrate the day free maximum hearing loss having to distribute and cried during the entire time the souls out of their bodies and trumpets. At the end
exploded on us a huge cloud of confetti, balloons and 200 (keeping with this year Bizentenarium Chile) hovered in the sky - a bit like as if someone "? Wool se mer let in" Gebrüder would have filled! ; D
Just to illustrate times, how much confetti was being unleashed on us: I have two more days, two courses and a shower after shampooing regularly small, colorful, round Papierschnipselchen found in my hair ...
... after that I unfortunately forgot the camera in the car and it unfortunately only noticed as in the Plaza Italia already went off the hype ; (
Two days after the elections, then had all (except me, Mrs. Hungry ) the heat of Santiago tired and longed for her beloved Chiloé, rain and wind, yay! U, U
so we went for a funny farewell party with card games and Twister tribulations on to the 1,800 km journey south to compete, and we have lodged a late-night stopover in the resort of Pucon, where we stop for a few hours still could deepen the last time the tender summer tan before it really really well and went back to familiar climes in the cold. And so we say goodbye
us about the holidays in Santiago with some recent, mixed images:
Matias saw during the trip to Pucón again for proper mood, the little 'ne is changing, full-length one-man show : D
Pucón:
Hmmm ... summer , sun, beach ... so, ahem, enough Emoemo, the current 'views back to Chiloé !
As it has in recent weeks, in fact almost always raining, we did not really do much, I meet up with friends or stay home and try to tell me the recipes from the new "Grandma's Back Book" ; has that Mama sent me for Christmas . Until now, we, therefore, Coni and I have sunken apple pie, chocolate cake juicy and Donauwellen through - although I could think of in the latter, unfortunately, only too late that it is actually not sweet ; should use Cherry was sickening sweet, so it has all fallen apart from me. ;) How's try again sometime with sour cherries, then it should actually be better. Otherwise, we look
many DVDs, horror and violence when, after going Coni, and comedy or drama, if I go after (and if, after our cousin is Camilla, we watch movies all day dogs ... I . may . no . dogs! With some exceptions, of course ...). We then spent
pretty much all the rest of January, I went in the penultimate week of a friend in two hours Quellón because she was 17 Birthday was loaded. We had a lot of fun in and around their home around the lies almost directly on the beach where we spent hours just walked and talked along the water - just great. :)
Then, on the last weekend of January, I called my friend Karla and asked if I was not entirely spontaneous desire to go to Quehui, an approximately two to three hours from Castro remote island on which a my best friends here, Cristina lives. She had called Karla and meant it would be a kind of folk festival this weekend, and that they also should ask me and two other girls, if we do not want to come. The other two said from unfortunately, but I, with my usual "Come, let's go to the end of the world" setting * said simply "yes" and was then five hours later ter on time by four clock in the afternoon with Karla on the ferry.
had also come along Valentina, a girl that goes to the Liceo and a year younger than us, she lives just like Cristina during school hours in a pension, the same as Cristina, strictly speaking, therefore, Are they friends now, and we have also made friends during the numerous visits to Cristina's room, which is just across the room from Vale and her sister.
After three hours on the icy deck of the ferry (below Rammel was all full), we finally came through completely frozen in Quehui to (or on Quehui it? Finally 'island ne ... Oo), where we thank God Cristina already with their father, and - very important! - Expected her warm car. After we had been told only once that we had inside us Depp, of course, set in our Deppert just the slowest and rickety vans (other ferries need about one hour less ...), we were nursed in Cristina's house first with homemade seafood empanadas and a lot of hot, black tea, and as Karla their zeitläufig officially dead from the cold right foot was able to feel again, we went to explore the island ... :)
on the ferry:
Quehui, kittens and in the field of Cristina's grandfather :
Quehui
So ... more photos can I upload nciht, for I must make myself ready, we go right after Castro, I want 'yes than ever to see if Mama's air envelope arrived. Hope you has fallen the entry, even if he so denote all the colorful Dingerchens rather than picture-book, and that's a good thing! :)
Half a year is now around 5 months, come; I'm excited! : D
Until the next entry,
ciaociao and lots, love
porridge!

* a fairly accurate description of me, compiled by Cristina:
"If I were to say: is that we go out to the end of the world! would Inga simply Juhu, I'm going ! scream and immediately packed her bags to go, no questions asked! " ^ ^
