Bean there



My roommate Kike done that. Traditional Chilean bean stew. Looove it. I'll try to learn how to prepare it. So far I've only reached the peeling-the-beans phase in which I'm actually pretty good at.

I fell off of a merry-go-round in a children's playground. I laughed so hard.

Start


The first day in Chile ended with me having yellow and blue paint on me. Surreal feeling.

So here I am in Valparaíso. I got myself a bed, a pillow, a mobile phone. It's all good here. I can see the sea from my other window and pre-teen school kids from the other. I hear on Monday mornings they start the school week by singing the national anthem in the yard. I bet in few weeks I'll be able to hum along!
