After traveling for over 24 hours, I finally arrived in Santiago! FYI: never fly aeromexico, no matter if your bag is 5 lbs overweight or 100 lbs overweight you have to pay 100 dollars, luckily the lady at the counter allowed me to put all of my things in one bag so that I did not have to pay more than 200 dollars. In Santiago, all US, Austrailians, Mexicans, Canadians, and Albanians have to pay an entrance fee, also know as a visa fee, since they don't require a "tourist visa." Anyway, it took an hour to pay my visa fee, because they only had one person working, but luckily I mad a friend in line. She is studying in Valparaiso, Chile and she is from Ensenada, Baja California. My apartment is sooo cute and it is less than a mile from the beach, it is soo beautiful here and all the people are soo nice and warm. Everyone has welcomed me and is truly curious about what I am doing here and where I am from. Everyone is amazed that I speak spanish, and after three straight days of speaking spanish I am starting to adjust to the idea of my life en Castellano! It is amazing how quickly you learn to repeat things that people say if your life depends on it. I feel like a kid again, because every time I learn something new or master a single word, it feels like christmas! I suggest that if you want to feel loved and appreciated that you learn a little bit of spanish and move to Chile!!
