I got up today, and guess what? It was raining!!! %$#% I was starting to dislike Santiago. I thought I was really going to have a good time, because Chilenos are really nice, I was going to referee, and I had two local friends here. But I ended up not refereeing, my friends were too busy for me and it rained or was cloudy all the time. I was still determined to visit the places that I wanted to visit. My first stop was Parque Metropolitana. This was a giant par...

Today, I got up really late. I had not slept until 12pm in a while! I got up and made myself breakfast with food that i bought at a grocery store days before. Today, I wanted to go visit some museums at the city center. I waited for Zahra and Trinh to get ready (they too got up late), because they wanted to go to the museums as well. When we arrived downtown, we stopped at a coffee shop to have brunch. While I was there, I heard my name being called in the backg...

There was still no power this morning, and I was getting a little irratated. It was really cold in the hostel and we were not able to take showers (unless you wanted to take a really cold shower).

I got today really early because I had to go meet Martin at his house to referee. It was raining outside (which sucks for refereeing, but it did not matter that much to me). I had to meet him at 8:15am. When I got to his house, he told me that because it was raining, all of the games were cancelled for the weekend. Who knew that as soon as there is a little rain, Chileans don't play soccer! I was really dissapointed as I walked back to the hostel in the rain. Wh...

I got up this morning and said bye to everyone. I took my time though...I only left Valparaiso at 12pm back to Santiago. When I got back to Santiago, I went to the same hostel as I was before. It was a great hostel and since no one responded to my couchsurfing request, I decided to stay there. It was Friday, and I needed to find a place to cut my hair. It was getting long, and I wanted to look more groomed for the weekend when I would be going out. I went off to...
