Quirky thangs!

As a weird, strange, unbelievable fact: this is the last weekend that my apartment will just be Gina and I in Santiago. Next weekend we'll both be traveling, then friends arrive, and then she leaves/I leave. That was an interesting realization on the way home from the grocery store today.

Random list of things I thought about today that will be funny 6 weeks from now, also just funny quirks about Chile are inferred that I've now just gotten used to and forgotten are strange:

-drinking milk out of a plastic gallon/drinking soy milk
-having a tv
-having a microwave
-knowing how to use the oven
-holding/having/using US currency
-not having pesos
-being able to use my debit card without outrageous fees
-lack of Spanish (duh)
-big buys at grocery stores, rather than going every day for a few little things


So there's your list of random quirks. I was thinking today how long its been since I used US currency. And how used to unrefridgerated boxes of milk I've become. It is amazing to think about how accustomed I've become to so many things down here, and how many things remain that are still so foreign nonetheless.

Chile has so many incredible things and experiences left to offer me, all I have to do is live it up as much as possible for the next 6 weeks! And that is what I plan to do. . .well that and a little bit of studying for impending tests I suppose.
