Useful sayings....

Friday was an eventful day..... We took a chilean spanish class where we learned IMPORTANT spanish sayings como


1. apagarse la tele ( literal translation: turn off the television) = TO BLACK OUT
2. arriba de la pelota ( above the ball) = TO BE TIPSY
3. Andar a lo gringo  ( walk like a walk person)= TO GO COMMANDO
4. bacán= cool


Yesterday we also explored the city, and learned a lot about Sanitago's past....como the Mapuche and how the fight against the imperial Spain, los conquistadores.  I have taken many classes on Latin American history and it very much interest me. I find it fascinating to be here and see what/how this country came to be....however dissatisfaction still lingers today in society...... muy interesante and triste.
