I met a guy named Jean last night who is a french exchange student studying in a university down the road from mine. We went around Santiago to check out places to live, after deciding that el punto didn´t make the cut for proximity, ambience, neighborhood (it´s safe, that´s about it). We saw a few great places and I´m starting to build confidence with my Spanish after communicating all day (apart from a half-conversation with a realtor from California) in Spanish. The Chilean accent is giving me less and less of a problem. I´ve so far got a few good options on places to live (I don´t want to live with many Americans, which cuts out a few places) and we´re checking out a few places tomorrow. I have mastered Chilean-realtor Spanish.
We ate in a little cafe for lunch, good sandwiches (beef with avocado, egg, and some crazy sauces) for practically nothing ($3, I think) and pizza for dinner ç (about $8).
I´m getting a phone tomorrow, as well as transformers for my computer, so I should be more accessible later in the week.

Also, the toilets empty counter-clockwise.

If I would've thought about it I could have given you my plug converters so you wouldn't have to buy any while there.

The old counter clockwise flush . . . must be a southern hemisphere thing!
