Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Well, what can i say on the eve of my first day in Pudahuel. I already feel like i've learnt so much about Chilean culture. Its incredible how two countries so alike in language can be so completely different in ever other way. Like the whole "supper" routine. Last mean at 7.00? unheard of in spain, that's like merienda time. haha. I've learnt some Chilean slang words too like "palto" is avocado and "jugo" is juice amongst others.
The flight here was epic to say the least. Malga - Heathrow - Sao Paulo - Santiago. At least I managed to recover my suitcases at the end og the journey, whish I was slightly worried about. :) And ofcourse the films on the way helped, not to mention tea and Ice-age and Uncel A's! I also got some great mugs shots to upload. You'll see what I mean by "mug shots" when you see the photos. Also, the views of the Andes from the plane were AMAZING (yes, it needed to be in capitals). I was greeted by Charlotte and one of the teachers from San Luis Beltran and they took me home. It feels wierd callign this home, will though it will be for the next year. All the home comforts I brought helped too.
I had a family meet and greet, followed by lunch and picking little Paula up from school.
I honestly cannot believe that I'm finally here. It all feels so surreal, but at the same time, very real indeed. I am incredibly lucky to be in such a place.
