I Should Watch More TV!

Hi,

this weekend I went to Buenos Aires, met 2 friends Renata and Cheila from Brazil and had a lot of fun with them there. Living in Santiago has the advantage to be only 1 hour and 40 minutes from the great night life of Buenos Aires :)

I have no fotos, because some things do not have necessarily to be documented... What I can say is that we exchanged the times we stay awake, and I had my quote of "handsome men" for this year. (Just watching, do not misinterpret my words...)

Yesterday I took my flight back to Santiago, and since we got home at 7am, I had breakfast and went directly to the airport, in order not to miss the plane, scheduled for 12:45pm. Arriving there, I did the check in and went straight to the gate, so I could nap a bit before boarding the plane. The room was empty, so no problem.

I woke up suddenly hearing many voices, the room was crowded with the people of my flight. I stood up to quickly, and stepped over a man sitting in front of me. When I realized what was going on, I started feeling stupid there...

Of course I apolgized, but then I saw that he was talking to someone else, and everybody was asking to take pictures with this someone else. The stepped man smile nicely at me, but I was still trying to undestand the scene.

Until now I have no idea who those men were, I only know that they must be around 50, white, not handsome (I got used to the Buenos Aires standard...) and very popular in Chile. Ah, they must work with sports somehow, because all the men in the room wanted to take pictures with them...

From now on I will definetly start watching more chilean TV, maybe I can recognize those two men one day...

And before I forget, the movie of my skiing adventure :)

Snowtime

Hi,

I'm trying to concentrate to write something, but since I'm at work, my colleagues are disturbing me, making jokes... Anyway...

This year we had a great ski season in Chile, and I used it to improve and recover my skiing knowledge. (Ups, my boss just read what I'm writing...)

I got my own ski and boots, and went up the hill to make the place unsafe ;) The Andean are maybe not so known as the Alps for skiing, but the lanes are also great, and the view is amazing.

After three months of snow, many saturdays and sundays, I got to learn some nice styles to go down, and also some new techniques to arrive on my foot, and not as a snowball. After all, the lanes were not so unsafe anymore with my prensence :D

And at the end I threw away my jacket, because it was torn and old. I'm looking forward the new season next year, with a new jacket! Some nice pics are in the link below. Soon I will post a video to show you my performance :)


Kisses!
