Let the studying begin

A brief update. I´ve managed to get myself last minute onto a spanish course in Santiago so I´ll be here for a week studying in the morning and planning in the afternoon - oh and lounging about.

I´ve had more success on the drinking front with a couple from Wigan, boy can he drink. We were then serranaded and hit on by some of the locals at the local bar we were at earlier, very innocent and controlled by the bar staff. They tend to look out for you ie. harmless flirting is OK but if it is persistent and turns more into harrasment the locals will step in. At a cafe this afternoon I was busy practicing verbs when someone decided to sit down and talk to me and wouldn´t even let me answer. A couple of minutes later the local suited business men who stepped in.

Saturday night I was the first into bed and was woken up each time the other 7 girls came back from their nights out (the last at 7am!), but the one at 6am brought back a guy which led to a mutiny in the room. Last night I was the last one in and also the first one up in the morning! My sleeping pattern is completely shot to pieces.

Anyway off to befriend Jorge at the bar Mi Casa round the corner from the hostel. He´s promised me a slap up meal tonight. Being female does have its advantages.......
