Penguin lost in the capital

Hello classmates! Well I am from Punta Arenas really far from here, far from my family, my house, and most important my bed! I move here to Santiago for two reasons: I had the opportunity and the universities there are not good at all, and I am trying to survive here in the capital. When you are far from you home town, you have to remember why you are far in first time, and then when you think that, everything is worth it. I had been in Santiago before but not actually a long time, maximum just a week. I knew that “Santiaguinos” were “different” in the way to talk, express and even opinion but my first month here I got impressed. It is funny when you start to tell a story and they don’t understand my words and I get confused because even the materials they say in a different way! We say “maceta” and “crudo” in most of the time, we eat “confites” no candies, we go on Sundays to the camp, we wait all year to have snow and cover our city with its beautiful white (we even have a song for that, for real). I can’t say that I am not happy here in Santiago, actually I feel lucky to meet some good people here! And also the capital have a few good things: there is a diversity of people, things, food, etc. Everything is more accessible here and you don’t have to wait a month to get stuff. And I know I am going to learn and love more od Santiago.
