El Kiwi en Sudamérica

Busy times....

Well, not that busy, but it felt 'flat outish' to me. Thats my lame excuse for not putting up a post in the last few days.
I've just finished training at Bridge Linguitec (blinguitec for short from now on) which was a relielf. They have quite a system, it's a very concrete curiculum, which isn't all bad- but i'm not sure how i'll find doing it day in day out.
One quite funny thing from the training was working with the movie. In many of the classes you use this video with it's dialouge/images etc. to teach the class. Anyway this movie is kinda ancient (ancient may be to strong a word-It was made in the early '80's , yep, ancient fits) but I can see how it works. (Fourtunatly in the latter class they use 'real movies' for the dialogue- your've got mail, as good as it gets and some others) The school pretty much caters for buisness clients only- which could be interesting.

I started doing some swaps with Woodward inst. on tuesday. I really dig the vibe in that place, and they have a real simple, easy to prepare cirriculum which is real good. I thaught on both tue and thur, with a spanish class after each one.

anyway here's some photos- with a little commentary


This is my room in the apartment: Exciting aye. It's, um... small and its got a view of the andes (heaps of snow on them this morning, what a view)

Here's some skyscrapers in Las Condes, one of the flasher parts of town.

Felipe (from my apartment) with one of the kids from church- At a familys place for lunch on Sunday (on the 16th floor of an apartment- I was loving it)

The view from the west in the apartment: towards Santiago central

And with some of the Church.

Also yesterday I picked up my ID card which was brilliant. It has everything, including a fingerprint- Very official.

Go the All Blacks,
