Futbol Game

So yesterday afternoon I went with Alejandro, the sports journalist in the apartment, to a Chilean professional soccer game. Since we got there about 15 minutes before the game started, there was a decent line to buy tickets. It seems obvious now, but I didn't figure that whenever the game started, there would be a mad rush to the ticket counter. This happened when I was about 3 people away. I did manage to get my ticket (It's all the practice on the metro), for $6, and went into the stadium. Every team has a few songs, most quite profane, but what I did not know was that they sing literally the entire game. I learned quite a few new Spanish phrases every time the referees made any call. Or any time they were near the goal. I got the in-depth tour of the history of the stadium (the estadio nacional, where we were, was where Pinochet killed a few hundred people weeks after taking power) and the game. I now know a decent amount about futbol, but only in Spanish. The game ended up a tie, with the other team scoring in the final minutes.

Eventually I'll put the pictures up, but blogspot doesn't seem to want to load anything very quickly. Also, I need another transformer for the camera dock, so I'll have to get that.
But, we did get the internet up in the apartment, so it's nice to be able to use the internet from home.
