carreteando con los ´americanos´

so last night yo carretee (chilenismo for ´partied´)at the cheesiest nastiest and most fun place--la suecia, in la providencia: a fake villiage for drunkards. would you believe that i was out til 3:30 in the morning with some crazy kids from california? they give ´ladies´ free drinks, so i gave my drinks to my amigo and learned all the bad music i´ve been missing.
of course the sexist music me molesto, but we did alright. mr tough indie rocker kid protected us.
oh, and we met this caribinero (cop) at this one place, whose schtick is showing ladies his GUN! it was so creepy, he was handing out bullets and stuff. gross. but he thought he was pretty cool.
we also explored la providencia in the afternoon, which is one of the more bourgie neighborhoods, and i found the famous book, how to survive in the chilean jungle: a book of chilean slang, which also talks about all the linguistically fascinating aspects of chilean life. i don´t think i´ll ever be cool enough to speak ´chilean,´ but i´ll do my best.
today, we´re going to get cell phones, and after dinner, we´re going to a discoteque de punk, which is super-underground here, from what i understand. first, a siesta.
