Life Upside Down: I moved!
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-moved.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Sunday, May 10, 2009. I moved apartments last week to a place without internet, so sorry for the blogging absence. Luckily after covering every inch of the apartment with my ipod touch in hand, I was able to locate an unlocked wi-fi signal and correctly guess a locked signal (news flash: 12345 is not a good internet password). Now I can get back to blogging. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda.

Life Upside Down: November 2008
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Sunday, November 23, 2008. Wow, November really flew by! Sorry about the lack of posts; it's been non-stop volunteer teams all month. Let's start from the beginning. I was put in a horrible situation and it was awful. The team leader ended up writing a letter of complaint to the UK affiliate and I had to translate the Chilean affiliate CEO's apology to the team leader over the phone. I love the teams, but I could definitely use a break. Friday, November 7, 2008.

Life Upside Down: October 2008
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Friday, October 31, 2008. No, I didn't make those pumpkins. I wish. For inquiring minds, they do celebrate Halloween here, but it's mostly for children. Oddly enough today is also some sort of Christian holiday, so I don't have work. Celebrating witches and Christianity on the same day strikes me as a bit strange, but vacation is vacation. Monday, October 27, 2008. Can you imagine being covered in raw chicken? Saturday, October 25, 2008. Monday, October 20, 2008. Yesterda...

Life Upside Down: Blog Identity Crisis
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-identity-crisis.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Saturday, April 25, 2009. I don't know what to do with this blog. I think my main problem is that I don't know who I'm writing for. Is it Future Amy who wants to reminisce about her time in Chile? Is it my friends and family back home? Is it someone interested in Chile? Does it even matter? I guess I mostly just want to remember my vida a la chilena . and this is way easier than a scrapbook. Keep up the blog! Take care, be well, be safe. April 27, 2009 at 1:26 PM. I moved...

Life Upside Down: March 2009
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Thursday, March 26, 2009. Sorry I didn´t get a chance to post this week. Work really picked up, and I´ve been scrambling to get ready for my trip to Peru. I fly to Lima tomorrow at 8 am and I´ll be back in Santiago the evening of April 7 with a big post and tons of pictures (well, probably not right away). Just goes to show that you shouldn´t change your plans based on anything that is set in Chilean time. Yesterday was my six month anniversary in Chile! I decided to make...

Life Upside Down: Adventures with Kitchen Creature
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009/05/adventures-with-kitchen-creature.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Sunday, May 10, 2009. Adventures with Kitchen Creature. My sourdough starter is still going strong. I finally mustered up the courage to try making a loaf of bread (it's intimidating! My bosses are doing a similar thing with the after-school reinforcement classes that I teach, but the business has hit some roadblocks because it's not something the parents are accustomed to signing their kids up for. Now I have my little fantasy of baking a few loafs and selling them in on...

Life Upside Down: Peru: Machu Picchu
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009/04/peru-machu-picchu.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Monday, April 20, 2009. The pictures don't do it justice. Machu Picchu is huge and so complex; it's amazing what the Inca accomplished. There's not much to say, you just have to see it. Hiking the Inca Trail was definitely worth is because it gave context to the type of community mobilization that the Inca were capable of. Say in British archaeologist voice). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda.

Life Upside Down: Walking Closet?
http://typeamy.blogspot.com/2009/04/walking-closet.html
Time spent in Santiago de Chile. Saturday, April 25, 2009. While apartment searching online, I was surprised to find that many buildings include "walking closets." Does it follow you around as you get dressed? What about "work in" closets? This is one of those situations where they might just want to make up a word for it in Spanish. From what I saw, not a single post had "walk-in closet.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda.
