For those of you not here with me, this article, about the 10 things you wish you knew about Chile, describes some pretty true things about Santiago. For those of you who are here, doesn't this make you feel like you're not a complete foreigner anymore, like we've really been here for a while and all these things are familiar and obvious? How else can you eat a hotdog and what is a metro if not the ideal location for a make-out session?
I spent a couple of hours on the Revista Revolver website - a local English language magazine that I believe some people from our group are going to be writing for - and found some cool things. There are too many restaurants on my list now and my stomach is grumbling after reading all those reviews. Also I should really try couch surfing one day. Is it a bad idea to use that website to find Chilean friends? I mean these people are putting themselves out there to meet foreigners and be hospitable so how bad could it be?
Last night I got equally sucked in by another online activity: trying to find popular Spanish music. Unfortunately my internet was not cooperating and I didn't get too far. Maybe those Chilean friends I'm hoping to make can help me out :)

Apparently last night and this morning the internet was down all over the Greater Santiago Area. How's that for something different? : )
