Right, so the flight here was pretty nice actually we stopped over in NY for like 2hours which was a great flight over too btw, i was in the middle thing and had the whole row to myself! so just layed down the whole time with ear plugs in. NY to Santiago was a bit of a hike, but wasnt as bad as I thought! it was a 11h flight over night, arriving at 9:45am. This trip I cracked out this pillow that I brought with me, its a small barrell shaped squishy comfy pillow that made the trip for me!, when i layed back and put it behind my head i could lean on either side without any pressure at all!!! i think i slept about 5-6 hours because of it which was amazing! i never been so successfull at sleeping on planes before!

The flight over to BA was only 2h, and I was greeted by the hired car I made for getting me to my apartment, his name was Dante, and he was just awesome, gave me lots of tips and tricks about the city, and even made a few calls for me to get somethings sorted I asked him about, so definately helped me out bigtime!

I took a nap soon as all the documents were signed for the apartment, so I think I ended up paying $477 for 9 days here, bit pricey but its a great place and very centrally located which is what i wanted.

So after my lil nap it was like 20:00 and i went on my first little cruise, found a nice little restaurant to have dinner at, and  I was actually going to go out for a club night to Pacha, but im still a bit tired from the trip, and im gonna be partying pretty hard in a few days anyways :)

To me , it feels as if im in another world down here. People dont really speak english so that makes for some interesting conversations. Im seemingly expanding my spanish somehow more and more, i even find myself talking to myself in spanish!!

SO was at this grocery store and there was some nice spanish music on the radio and there was a little girl like had to be abour 4 or something that started dancing to it, and I started smiling and actually evreyone in the store turned and then some clapping started .. hehe was just something that I thought was hilarious.
