2 days gone... lots to come

Alright, hey you guys.
Day 1
So, where to begin. Oh, our trip here. Let me try and put it into a very short sentence: 4 train stops, 3 airports, 2 bus stations, and 1 taxi ride. Combine all of that with a distance of about 12,000 km and a traveling time of 32 hours and you can imagine what we looked like. The train ride was about as usual as you can expect, we were late. Aperently a car was burning in the train station up ahead and due to the "EXTREME DANGER" involved for the fire-fighters they had to switch off the electricity. Throughout this traumatizing experience of not know if the fire-fighters where going to be alright, our train just chilled for about half an hour before it went on its way.
Suprisingly enough we made it to Frankfurt just as fast as if there hadn't been a delay. Don't ask how that works, once again, DB. In Frankfurt we were just in time for bording and decided that having our bags checked in would be ok. Sounds easy...right. Aperently you can only have 7kg in your hand lugage and 32 kg in your normal. So without undue delay Mandy and I had to repack all of our things. Somehow my hand lugauge was 14kg heavy, stupid finance book.
We got through all of that alright and we even got to see Mazen, which was cool, but it did mean that I didn't get to eat before the flight...sigh, life is hard.
The flight itself....normal. Long, loud, crowded, Portuguess, cramped, and I already knew all the movies. Sao Paulo is interesting enough, although all we did see was the airport(which isn't nice) and a bit from above. The flight from Brazil to Chile was ok, although the airplane did do this rathering interesting shaking and growinling and howling thing and took a really long time to take off, but I think the captain said that it was alright. We did see Iguazu, theoreticaly, and the Andes, which was awesome, and finaly we landed.
Santiago de Chile. We had an intersting start. Lets say I had a crash course in Spanish.. something along the lines of "yo busco un autobus para Vina del Mar" That went ok, the answer is what I had some dificulty with, and the fact that everybody was talking at once. But, Mandy and I made it to the middle of Santiago and onto a bus to Vina.
The country is truly beautiful. A lot like Kenya actualy, just Spanish, and not quite as crazy, but almost. So after two hours we made it to Vina, which is quite interesting. Finaly managed to get to our hostel, and called it a day. Mandy and I did a short walk through some of the city. It's nice, a lot bigger then I thought, but still I think its gona be a lot of fun.
Day 2
Breakfeast, very nice, fresh fruit and the likes, although I already miss the german bread. Then Mandy and I went on our first adventure, or second if you count just getting here. The goal: find our universtiy and then find a place to stay. I figured the first would be easy and the second hard. Mmmmm, not really. Vina is a city on the beach. No, Vina is a city on a cliff thats by the beach. There is no such thing as a strait road, you either go up or down, and when your looking for something up is bad and down is good, but you can't have one without the other. Lets just say that Mandy and I spent at least 2 hours just walking up and down hills looking for the uni.
We had a map, but that didn't help, since there isn't a map of Vina with the street names on it, or all the streets anyway. We did meet this funny little guy though, looked like Danni Devito. I saw him, wanted to ask for directions but didn't. Then we saw him again, this time I asked (he said a lot of things but we did get the direction) and then we met him again (and this time he showed us the last few streets to take) and then we met him again downtown. What a crazy weird little guy, but he helped out a lot.
The uni is nice and small and they helped us out a lot with finding a place to stay. We are now gona stay with this nice lady and her husband in a house not 50 meters from the Uni. Thats gona make sleeping and being on time easier. She doesn't speak english so it makes learning spanish easier. I acutaly had a somewhat civilized converstation with her(yea-right) but it should be lots of fun.
So thats all from me right now. Sorry that this was so long but things do seem to add up. I promise to write again soon, and tell more then.
Lots of crazy greatings from Vina del Mar
