Hello again everybody!!!
I hope that you all had a good Halloween!!! I bet that you are all probably still nursing your hangovers ain ya, ya lil scoundrels!!!
Well, yesterday, I didnt really do anything, because for some reason, all Hallows Day is a national hol in Chile, so most things are closed. Paul spent most of the day transferring a backlog of about 20 hours of video footage onto disk , whilst Mum spent most of the day attempting to do the backpack cramming. I just watched, and ate toast. Im never any use in the packing dept.,anyway. Looks like I got the best part of the deal!!!!
Mum ans Paul left for the airport at about 6ish yesterday night, and they are probably just arriving in New Zealand, now, actually. It will be 2 days ahead of here, though, which if I think about for too long, will make my head implode!!!! The mind boggles.....
Anyhow, they didnt leave without kindly reminding the receptionist on duty, Pablo, not to allow me to leave before, or after the 5th, when I will be catching my flight to New Zealand to meet up with them, again. I dont think they are ever gonna let me live that down, me attempting to escape Buenos Aires a day early, but Im like it happened one time!!!! (But, I suppose that one time is enough stupidity, isnt it?!?!)lol.
Pablo just looked a bit bemused, and was like, "o-kay then."
Anyway, that means that I am all on me toddy in Santiago de Chile for 4 more days!! And that any number of wierdos could be sharing the dorm with me!! Last night, 2 girls checked in at 4 o clock in the bloody morning, which was convenient, but luckily, after talking to them this morning, they dont appear to be deranged or mentally unstable, which makes a nice change, after sharing a room with Mum and Paul!!!lol, just kiddin!!!! (Not-you frieks!!!)
I digress.... today, there has been minor excitement around these parts, as the road opposite was blocked off earlier, to film a commercial for the new VW 4x4, which was nice.
They decided to use a snotty orange coloured one, though, which confused me as to wether they were actually trying to advertise the thing or not.... Some peeps from the Hostel went outside to have a look outside, but I was smart (and lazy, as always) and thought, now why would a midget like me wanna go outside and struggle to see through peoples legs when I have a perfectly good view from the window!!!!
So, now Im about to go off to the shop to get some food in, well, cereal- I have neither the time or the inclination to bother to actually cook somethng, nor to stand waiting for the cooker when the kitchen gets busy!!! Then, Im off to the Museum of Modern Art to have a gander at what is in there for a bit!!
I must admit, although its good to have a little time away from Mum and Paul, I do kinda miss them when they arent here- I have nobody to take the piss out of!!! (I decided that it is probably not such a good idea to take the piss out of random strangers, as it is not the best way to make friendys now, is it??? Although, I do have to bite my lip a lot of the time, as I often have a surge of word vomit at the back of my throat when I encounter some of the more "unique" fellow hostellers....)
Anyway, Im off. Again, food has so far eluded me today, and it is now 1 o clock, so I think I will go and get an Empanada from the corner!
Speak to you again soon!!!
Loads of love n huggy wuggies!!!
