Going to a place where I can speak the language, I think.

Yep.... That's eel. Kind of like a slimy snake. But I'll be able to confirm that once we eat snake. I'm guessing that will be next week. In all honesty, it was really good, except for one little bit of gristle in each bite.
This is a video of Juan. It was taken the last day of school and gives me an idea of what it is like to see the world through Juans eyes. He seems be at rear level for a lot of people. Please notice the Star Wars impersonation he does as Darth Vader, also notice the close up of his belly button that you see at the end. If you get motion sick from this movie, blame Juan, not me.
We are at yet another family members house, having dinner. I´m amazed at the number of family members that these people keep in contact with. Either that, or Jake and I are being paraded around as the attractions of the year. Kind of like a traveling geek show. It´s probably a combination of both, there isn´t a lot to do here in grand old Antofagasta. The family wanted to make sure that we could use their computer and internet, a seemingly rare thing here. I have fulfilled my duties as a guest, have a great Sunday, wish me luck on the start of classes Monday!
I am currently at Mike's house and sitting at the kitchen table while their house keeper is cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. It's kind of strange to have a small, old Indonesian lady just puttering around the house. Part of me wants to strike up a conversation with her, but from what I've picked up from Indonesian culture, she's here to do a job and it would be strange to bother her when she has work to do. Update from last post. Landed in Taipei and was put up in a hotel for the night, we would be leaving at 2 pm the next day. Mike and I passed out in a small, clean, Hotel 6 like room and got up the next morning. We went out for a walk, did some window shopping and then returned back to the hotel and checked out. Picked up by a van and dropped off at the Taipei airport. Wandered the Taipei airport terminal, which looked like a giant strip mall, full of expensive designer clothing and overpriced duty free alcohol. Got on the plain and flew to Sin...
