El Kiwi en Sudamérica

On the job hunt...

Hola Amigos,
Well where should I start... The last few days have been 'busyish' but chilled out as well. I've just started on my job search this week, with a few quite positive results, with prospects in many places;I'm going to some training sessions this week for one company, i'm not sure if I should commit to them, I think that there is better compaines/jobs out there and if I commit then I'm stuck with second best. But the boss is keen to have me on the team so I can't count them out.On thursday I visited a few language schools in one of the richer "comunas" Las Condes, which went pretty well. I've found that the list of schools I'm searching with is abit outdated- like some buildings have even been demolished, it seems like a 50% strike rate... anyway I went by a school owned by a Kiwi, so I had a chat to him about work, but unfourtunatly they don't have work for me right now but they have offered me lesson swaps: One english lesson for a spanish one. So i'm meeting up with him on monday (He aslo gave me pointers on what other school are good- his competitors- and that I may have work at an english expo coming up... i'll keep you all posted.But in one of the funnier 'job prospects' is this, One of the guys from the party last friday came for dinner on sunday night at my apartment. And when he heard that I needed worked he lined me up with an extras agency. So I wnet there, got my photo taken etc. So I might turn up on an advert or something in Chile maybe... hahahahaha, we'll see. As well I vivited the Charles family on wednesday night. Mike works with the anglican bible college over here and they´re origionally from Aussie. It was good times chatting about chilean stuff and more- a cool family.
And after not so popular demand heres some more photos of people (i'm still trying to shake my 'don't take photos unless you want to look super gringo'mentality, so my choices were still limited)

Here's a beautiful picture of me eating a healthy "completo" hot dog style thing (so cheap to make, with so many calories)

Here I am playing a random game with some of the boys at youth group last night

Some others from youth group...

And me all dressed up, extremely tried from walking all around Providencia yesterday handing out my C.V- in the lounge of my apartment.
