I just have left Santiago in Chile today.
Lots of things happened and that was really good stay.
With my last stay in Santiago, I stayed with my friends family so I could experience the Chilian family life. This time I stayed at the place called Chilli Hostel. This was very very very good.
Unlike other backpackers, their beds are not the bank beds. Wide room and nice pop colour of linens. Towels are provided as well and the breakfast!!! that´s included as well, but very different from OZ BPs. When you go down to the kitchen in the morning, they make fresh orange juice for you and make toasts and serve for you. you can help yourself coffee and tea as well with nice pop coloured plates and cups. They wash those plates for you as well. Very good service. They are very nice people too and so as my room mates. The main language used here was Spanish -even between tourists -many Algentinas and many Swizas too, but it was good practice for me. I am very amazd how much I could communicate with them with my very very limited spanish. We had so much talk, laugh and fun. They were like family. very caring and I got helped a lot by those people at the hostel (both by travellars and workers) . My last day today, the guy working there even came upstairs to wake me up as I was getting late to catch the air plane. The other room mates rushed me too.
I remembered when I went back to Japan after a few years living in Australia, my friend asked me that he had heard the Australians are relaxed/lazy and if it is true. Then I said they may be so, but the Australian say that I am lazy, so I am lazier than them. Then now I am in Latin America and getting rushed even by latinos. I am maybe the most relaxed/laziest one in the world. One of my room mates who is my father´s age who cared me like mother kept screaming " Ah! Kana, impossible! impossible!"
Anyway, the hostel had a free internet too and I could read Japanse on it too. That was fantastic as a lot of paied internet cafe here couldn´t read Japanese. Actually in Chille internet was cheep. I found a few of them less than AZ$ 1 for 1 hour.
Anyway, tonight I just got in Rio and I am missing so much of Chilli hostel. The hostel here is very standard -very small room with bank bed -even three stories beds! The reception people are nice and happy -actually the boy is very cute, but the some of teh room mates I saw before,,,,I don´t know if I can like them. I miss my people in Santiago!!
