Sophie - fluffo -

Friday night I went to the Kräftskiva the swedish ambassady is arranging every year. Most of them were older than me and I was just very lost in the beginning. Then the swedish people from work came so at least I knew them. One of the ones from work was Diana, she is from peru and moved here like 6 months ago, and she was as lost as I were, or even more maybe, because she had never even been to sweden or a kräftskiva. I dont really know what sehe did there at all but im glad she came =)

 We started with some sill och potatis with knäckebröd och ost =) mm mm mmm and of course, nubbe =)

 Diana liked it too

 then it was time for Kräftoooor =D crawfish, cangrejitas.. whatever you want to call them. I think they were from canada, but I might be veeeeery wrong...
I tought Diana how to eat Kräftor, it was her first time

  And how to sing swedish nubbevisor! Our favorite was "En gång i månan e månen full, men aldrig jag sett honom ramla omkull..." I think she did pretty good! she almost got it... They also had a spannish nubbevisa but I didnt like that one :p

 They had it all, the thingis in the roof and a swedish flag and all the nubbevisor, it was very nice =)

Bondgård nubbe! Never had it before but I guess it was pretty good because it was gone when we left ;p haaha they also ha akvavit :)

After Kräftskivan we met Dianas friend. Smart as I am I had forgotten my cellphone so first we had to take a cab home to tell frankie where we were going and then we went to a pub pretty close from my home.

 And theeeen we drank some beer ;p

 Un dos tres

 But I think Diana drank a little bit tooo much...

 So she had to go to bed a little bit earlier than us... haah =D but it was fuuuuuun! First time I was out in Santiago without frankie =) I did pretty good good!

After snowboarding all day we tried to get back to the hotel. They snow were kinda bad and VERY slow when you came lower down the slopes.. but we made it! Even though Francisco walked like the entire way hehe After a short swim and a good dinner I went up tp my room and died.
Friday we were snowboarding till around two in the afternoon. It was pretty nice for the face to be out in the cold with fresh air, luckly there werent that much sun friday! Ive never been happier over bad weather!
It was 3 very nice days, next time I will wear more sunscreen... Francisco and his mom were very nice to me all the time and it was nice of them just taking me there! They wants to take me to their house in the south next time hehe =P they like to travel so they wnat to take me everywhere =)
They also gave me al kind of stuff to put in my face and told me to buy Madecasol, so when we came home I went to the pharmacy with frankie and then we went to eat the famous hot dog at dominos.

When I came home from Chillian friday we were suposed to celebrate Frankies friends birthday at night and go clubbing but her mom was sick so she cancelled it... But I wouldn't have gone anyways because of my face, it was a big mess and rinning yuckie stuff and hurting like hell... So frankie and I went to dominos and ate the biggest hot dog in the world. Remember I told you about Carols? Welll this one had avocado, tomato, American sauce thing, cucumber mixed with some stuff and some mayonese. Its just a thing you have to try here. Pretty good accually! Big! I couldnt really taste the hot dog but yeeyee...
Saturday morning we drove to viña del mar. Its like 1,5 hour away from here and Frankies family has an appartment there. Its very pretty, it has a pretty big, long beach and a casino and small little things where you can buy stuff along the beach and its very popular in the summer. I culdnt really do that much but sleep and hide from the sun, but at night I was up for a little bit. Their appartment is right by the big stadium and it was a soccer game, Chile - Peru, Saturday night, so it was crazy out there! We watched all the people from our balcony. Chile won. We were supposed to go to the casino after the game but I didnt feel good and Frankie was too tired so we went to bed. Sunday morning I thought I was going to die because it hurt so bad and then they took me to the hostpital. Frenkies mom is a nurse, Frankie is studuing to be a nurse, Caroline is a nurse/pharmasist and works in a lab, her boyfriend works there too, so I was well taken care of but they all thought it was the best to go to the hostpital. The whole family went to the hostpital with me, thats how they do it here, everyone in the family do it all together if something happens hehe =) They had never been to the hostpital before so they thanked me for showing it to them :p  I talked to a doctor who gave me painkillers and a gel and told me what to do. It was just the 1st degree burn so now I just have to wait for it to get better... but thank god for painkillers! I didnt have an insurance, I dont think? I have to check with Atlas Copco....well so thats where I spent my last money hehe :p I had a little bit left so I was thinking of winning it all back, gambling in the casino at night, but my plan didnt work out that good. I lost it all...but it was fun! haha =D Better luck next time! Hopefully I will get my first paycheck soon. Oh by the way.. about Atlas Copco... I can´t believ its true! I just found out that the girl Im working for, Paula. BOTH her parents commit suicide last night!! It´s very shocking for everyone! terrible... I guess they had some financial problems.. but thats a wierd way to solve the problem?! Angela just told me.. so its not the happiest office right now...  Paula is not here of course, and some people stop by and ask about her but noone really knows anything... =/ So I guess Im lucky I just have a messed up face right now... =/
Hmm... I dont think I have that much more fun to tell you... I better go back to work but Im just not feeling it today. Im supposed to put together 30 flags but we only had 15 so now Im waiting for Jaquline to come back so I can go and look for some more. I was also supposed to go over an article I wrote, in spannish ( with frankie) for the Atlas Copco magazine or something but Paula is not here so  now I dont know. Im also waiting for some catalogs and stuff so I can put together the last things for the breakfast.. And the boxes are not here yet so I cant put them together and label them.. so I really dont know what to do. I have some pictures from viña del mar but they are at home, and all the stuff from Chillian too so I´ll upload it tonight. well well.. Maybe its time for some coffe break then! bye bye take care love love
BESOS!

Paula let me take wednesday, thursday and friday off!!! So now I have a looong weekend ahead of me because monday is a free day for everone. Something about celebrating the spannish people for finding Chile. So in about 5 hours I´ll be in the car with Fransisco and his mom. I think they know less english together than I know spannish... should be fun =P We're going down to the 7th or 8th region I think, up in the mountains right next to argentina. Its a really nice hotel with big hot tubs outside, in the middle of the slopes. For the long weekend I think we might go to viña del mar, where frankies parents have an appartment. Well I'll let you know about my weekend later!
Have a great time cause I hopefully will! I better go to bed... The are picking me up at 6.30 and thats in 5 hours!
Besoooos 

Today was my first day at Atlas Copco, communication and marketing, no more theissen thank god!
I had my first meeting, in spannish! Where Paula told us what to do during the next week. My big job is to find 1050 addresses, and then write them on 1050 labels. Make 1050 boxes, put hats in them, put on the labels and send all of them. I have around 2 weeks to do that. Then Im also writing a column in the magazine they give out every month. Im going to write "did you know that...." something useful for you home or work or whatever.Like... "Did you know that avocado makes your skin smooth" or something like that... But then of course in spannish. October 12th we have a big breakfast at a hotel here somewhere and Im going to be the one who tells everyone welcome, this way please bla bla and right now Im putting together 30 atlas copco flags for the tabels and broshures for everyone. So there is a lot going on at the same time and Im doing it all by myself without any help!
My last day at theissen were last wednesday. After a whole day playing hearts on the computer I told Angela and Alberto there were nothing for me to do so they gave me thursday and friday off. But I think I might were even more bored at home because noone was home. Frankie had to study and when she didnt study she was at her boyfriends house. Thursday I did nothing the whole day and then I took lika a 3,5 hour long walk around here in Santiago. Looked in some stures and stuff lika that. At night we rented a movie, 500pesos (8 kr!). It was alright. Friday they told me we were clubbing but Frankie stayed home to study and Carolina went to her boyfriend sergio. So I did laundry a friday night!!! Saturday it was pretty much the same. Carolina were supposed to come home around 16 so we could walk around and look in some stores but she didnt come home untill 19.30. By then most of the stores were closed... But at ten saturday night we went to Sergio's house for dinner. His sisters husbands sisters husband were from spain and they were having a goodbye thing for him because he went back to spain sunday. So they had burritos, pisco, and all kind of things there. Everyone were like 27+ and 3 of them spoke english. One guy had lived in LA for 10 years, he grew up there. He was really nice but I think his girlfriend got a little bit mad after a while. But he promised me to show me some good partying here in chile! so hopefully he will do that soon. Then everyone danced and it was pretty fun after a couple of piscosours and beer. The closest I've been from partying for real since I came here. We came home around 6.30 and I thought we were going to walk up on a mountain, early in the morning, close by here, and visit the zoo and the church and everything but I suppose they changed plans. I think that was a pretty good idea... I dont think I would have felt that good at 8 in the morning... Carolina and I had lunch at Manuel's house instead and ate anticucho the rest of the day. And after that we went to the mall.
So it had been a kinda booooring 4 day weekend but it was ok I guess. I missed sweden and my friends... weeell weeell... At the lunch thing Fransiscos mom asked me if I wanted to go to the south with her and Fransisco, just wednesday and thursday and I thought that was a good oppurtunity for me to see another part of Chile so I asked Paula today and she said it was ok. After one day of work I asked for 2 days off! haha I dont think this working thing is something for me :P No, but she thought I worked really good and fast today so she said it was fine, as long as my things are done by the deadline. And they will be! =)
Hmm... I think that was it...
Now it's tea time!
Looooooove
