So, everyone knows that having a significant other who speaks a language that you are trying to learn is the best way to pick up a foreign language, right? Since I'm on a mission to learn Spanish I figured that it was my duty to pursue this option. Well, last night I determined that operation find a Chilean boyfriend was way too easy to even be considered a goal, and is actually something to be actively avoided.
Realization #1: Having a Chilean boyfriend would unfortunately involve having a boyfriend.
Realization #2: You do not find Chilean boyfriends. Chilean boyfriends find you, whether you want them to or not.
Realization #3: Any guy who can't verbally communicate with you and still wants to be your boyfriend isn't the type of guy that you want as a boyfriend.
Therefore, I've switched my focus to another project: operation go to bars and lead on Chilean want to be boyfriends in order to practice conversation skills and receive free drinks. Speaking of drinks, I had my first pisco sour last night, which is quite a popular Chilean beverage and surprisingly good for a drink that contains egg whites. Its served in a champagne glass and has a color similar to that of a mimosa so it kind of requires a special place in my heart.
To answer Miss Laura's questions, no, there are not many whole foods here and yes I am getting protein. Also, I am well on my way to working legally. Next week I sign my contract and jump head first into the bureaucracy of obtaining a work permit, which should take 3 months in total. Word on the street is that I can pay a fee to obtain a temporary work permit while I am waiting, which I'll probably do.
Besos,
Allie

Preying on men is opportunistic. Try watching kids programs like Plaza Sesamo (Sesame Street).
It is opportunistic, but I'm only preying on men who try to prey on me first, so I'm okay with it.
I'll look into Plaza Sesamo. Thanks for the tip. :)
Yeah, you do what you have to. Seriously though kids programs. Find some elderly people too, they are approachable, amicable, and always want to talk.
Nothing will ever beat the sunburn you got in Maryland! Is that Cristal you are drinking in the last photo?
Nothing will beet that blue aloe goop that turned my legs purple, is that what you mean? :)
Yeah, Cristal is the national beer. All Central/South American countries have one (that I know of...). Anyways, I haven't tried it yet, it looks gross in compared to the amply available wine.
Definitely use horny men for conversation practice in bars is what I say. It's perfect; both of your inhibitions are lowered and it's totally at the right level - beginning conversational - and totally superficial. Typical bar talk, right? Be careful though! Alright I guess old people is a pretty good idea, too.
You look thin! I want to move to Valparaiso! I just reread your whole blog!
old people and horny men. check and check.
Use men for free drinks... spoken like a true brothel girl
