i had so much fun with her she is totally amazing and cool, and on our last night we went to this aother really amazing grrrl Neve´s house and made thai food for daniela, her brother jani (pronouned HONEY!!!! soo cool) and Lupi (producer from Juila rose, danielas other band) and Neve. it was really cool cuz they havent had it before and i wanted to cook typical aussie food for them but like.....all i could think of was meat pies or toad in hole and they both suxx so i thought...well...hahaha...thai food is actually raelly typical ahahaha.

everyone says typical here HEAPS; so i now i keep thinking it and saying it, like its really typical. its a lyrical meme.

oh i just had a cold shower in arica (meggs you would be so proud), its cost $1.20

oh also on this other day we were walking to meet daniela and we heard this loud music and we had stumbled across the NATIONAL CHEERLEADING COMP FINALS !!!! it was so amazing they all did the most eçincreidble performances to the MOST INTENSE TECHNO EVER with crazy sound effects that went off every time they threw someone up the in the air

pix n shit

we were walkig thru the city and this woman came up to me and handed me a flyer and a really intense tone in her voice. i looked at it, it was all in spanish but some words i still understood like, woman, murder, assualt, violence, and i was shit its for a rally , we gotta go. so a few days later we met up with RANO and went to this MASSIVE rally .....it was totally incredibel. the story is that in chile alot of men are murdering there wives, bashing them to death and this was a rally against it, it was fucking huge and all sorts of ppl of different age and class and gender and sub culture. seroiusly like g randmas and punks.....then atfer we went to a teerrrrrible terrrible shit salsa karaoke bar with RANO and waited like 2 hours and they never chose our song and did horrible dancing omg and at the end our bill was 60US dollars!!!! arrrgh!!!

this is a poster fo r Mapuche solidarity festival and free political prisoners, its like one block from wehre we are staying and one of the first things i noticed, i really wanna go to it.

this is what all the food here looks like, seriously , every where is just hot dogs and chips. everywhere, like a ctually every 2nd shop-.

PASSSSSING OUT IN BUENOS AIRES AIRPOR T, OMG i hate long haul flights soooooo fucking much

sooooooo kati is hassling me to write here but im not so good at blogs and also facebook chat has wruined my typing!!!!
we are still in santiago hanging out with the street dogs. yesterday we went to this end of year uni party thing it was just students drinking in the uni buttt way better than if it was australia, like instead of boring uni jerks it was interesting switched on people who actually have lives outside of study, and ambitions beyond money. and the uni is covered in crazy design and sweet graffiti and political postering shit, so good. we ate icecream and then a bird did a shit in it and then we ate some more.,
holy shit we went to this big violence against women march the other night there was like 2000 people,, but it was like EVERYONE, across every demographic it seemed. and the middleaged businessmen were just as angry as the 20 yr old girls.! .anyway after the march we got stuck with the worlds most boring guy who WOULDNT STOP TALKING to us. we said "ok we gotta go, bye" and walk away and then he´d follow us and keep talking bullshit bullshit like how japanese people are exactly the same as chilean people (wtf) and trying to teach kati japanese words after she told him she studied japanese for 7 years. so we ended up running away from him in the metro. but the best thing he told us was how he got MUGGED by three dogs!!!!!!! i couldnt stop laughing, like, did you give them your wallet?? he said that people trained the street dogs to rob people but i feel like he just got growled at or something, i mean how would the dogs know if you gave them real money, or you could just give them hotdogs, i mean it´s a stupid plan!! !!
the song She Wolf by shakira has been following me everywhere here!! like i heard it four times while we had stopover in Buenos Aires, i cant believe that´s the first fuckin thing i heard,,, and then yesterday someone was sitting near us playing it over n over on panpipes! argghh!!
there is a national presidential election happening here in about two weeks and im kinda obsessed, but maybe that is boring to talk about here..! buttt one of the guys, Marcos, his nickname is Meo because his initials are M.E.O., but in spanish the word meyo is slang for piss. heh heh. that´s totally the sort of shit i love learning about.

uno

well first of all ijust wanna say this keyboard is totally broken and the space bar is broken so it keeps locking down, i hope you get to see it in action.
wel we arrived in santiago FINALLY OMG MAN
yeah like i hate long haul flig hts sooooooo much wtf . we flew for 14hours to arg entina then waited in buenos aires airport for like 7hours for another flight to chile which took only 2 hours but siting in that airport i was like please,please let us on that plane. PLEASE. i was like calling out to the flight attendants at the counter, please ,please, pleasse ..
hahhaaaaaahahah

oh on the flight iwatched the cove,its a doco about dolphin slaughter its cool def watch that,i also watched the doco about valentino the fashion designer it was a bit borig hey.


h mmmmmmmmmm oh yeah so this my second day in chile, i woke up 6am today i had some fucked up nightmare and as you may or may not know about me already, as soon as i wake up, i have to get out of bed !!!!! i cant just lie there, it dri v es me crazy, so i thought iwould write this thingy while i wait for the sun and ppl.

um yeah santiago

the city is cool its beautiful , the old buildings are so important its a pity they are getting knocked down , b ut its cool you walk down the streets and its all like colourful old terrace houses fro m the 50s and 60s in cool colours, and heaps of political graffi ti eve rywehre!! i keep seein the love anarchy symbol ahhaaha and yesterday we saw anarchy and squat.
there is a two day anti imperialism, free political prisoners festival on this weekend, we are gonna go ,i saw this big wheatpasted street poster and i said to shelagh i must go and show our solidaridad (solidarity) but its hard to tell with this stuff cuz some ppl we have asked are like, hmmm we dont know anyhting about that its probably the communist party..... i am unsure, i mean if there correct i guess its like how if you were in australia first time and saw all those socialism posters you would be like, wow im totally against homophobia and look here, a poster advertising a talk about this!! perfect!! hahahahahaha but actually so sh it..
i ts funny like, not knowing what is shit and what is cool,
its really good for me, im too much a smart asss!!!

yeah so really full on history, history inside the people and the on the streets. special and cool place.

okkk yeah was super warned about the sexual harresment i was gonna get here.
NONE.
no one even looks at us. let alone talks or calls out or approaches.
maybe its my slayer shirt__ ¿¿¿
nah but seriously, i mean i think that australia is really really fucking sexist and full on in terms of harresment.
YOU CANT WALK DOWN ANY STREET AT NIGHT EVER WITHOUT SOME DIKHEAD FUCKING WITH YOUR SHIT

that is true, like some idiots in ther e cars or whatever. and i dunno like, i guess i just wanna deconstruct that myth cuz it comes from an othering placce....like.. kind of racist, and like, the most biggest fuckheads generally white aussie bogans, always.

i should know i practically am one.

speaking of racist my spanish fucking phrase book doesnt have MAY I HELP YOU in it, only fucked shit in reverse, eg, other ppl helping me. like the framework of the book is that you would never wanna participate in anyt hing or help, only spectate and be helped ........SO WHITE COLONIAL SHIIIITTTT ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!
