En Santiago otra vez

I am back here in Santiago after a nice 10 day visit to the States. I missed the US and it was nice to be back, but I feel like spending a bit more time here would do me good, and I think with the job I have I will gain alot from the experience. It was great to see my family, especially my nephew, who is 7 months old and a completely different person from when I left, not just a crying baby anymore but one with some personality. Also the new family dog is a big success, I will have to pooch sit and baby sit in upcoming months when I return.

I settled into a shared apartment here with a Chilean couple and a Canadian girl. Thus far the arrangement is decent, they are very nice and friendly. The apartment looks nice but not very modern. Apparently central heat does not exist here and it is as cold inside as it is outside. Also there is no closet, which is a problem given that I have to wear suits to work everyday. We'll see how the arrangment works out, it would be a great way to make some new friends but I think I will go effing bananas being cold all day everyday and wearing wrinkled clothes constantly. They invited me to a dinner tonight at the restauraunt that is owned by the guy, which I am sure will be a good time. Only one way to find out, right?
