Transcultural vogueing: February 2010
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. So we registered for Ripley novios last year, and a few years before that I turned in my personal datos occasionally at the neighborhood Bandera Azul to try to win a moped, a cart full of groceries, etc. So by now a thousand phone soliciters have my phone number. Ugh. I have a good plan as well. What's more I use my husband's phone all the time to make calls. You know we've never gone over the 2000-minute limit? I was sure it was a solicitor, but it turned out to be the secreta...

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Thanksgiving sort of ruined. I've always known that. I don't know why it ruined Thanksgiving for me this year and not other years.

Transcultural vogueing: Direct Consular Filing, OVER
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2011/07/direct-consular-filing.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Direct Consular Filing, OVER. So if you haven't already started the process, direct consular filing will be a thing of the past starting August 15th, 2011. Which means if you want to petition your alien spouse's visa from Chile, you'll need to do it through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In Chicago, I believe. Labels: immigrant visa from Chile. Immigration to the US. Thanks for share this article. July 22, 2016 at 8:10 AM. Immigration to the US.

Transcultural vogueing: My love for Chilean soccer
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-love-for-chilean-soccer.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. My love for Chilean soccer. A sus familias. Los periodistas incluso iban a las casas de las familias para entrevistarlas, ver los partidos con parientes y amigos de los jugadores y hacer a todo Chile conocerlos. Los partidos eran emocionantes para todo el país. Por primera vez, in my humble and bastante amateur opinion, Chile tenía un buen EQUIPO, no solo a " SaZa. Sino a una manga de buenos jugadores quienes jugaban (y juegan) bien! What about your love for American soccer? Its ab...

Transcultural vogueing: October 2009
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Tengo el poto como colador". Translation: "My ass is acting like a colander.". Note: my ass isn't acting as a colander at this minute, I'm just posting this as a "travel tip". Many of us gringos in Chilito have gotten food poisoning from time to time. It's to be expected. Whether the Augustian changes in weather screw you over. Galletas de agua con quesillo (crackers and tasteless "cheese"). Sopa de pollo y arroz (chicken and rice soup). Galletas de agua con quesillo. If I find ...

Transcultural vogueing: Standard of Living
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2011/04/standard-of-living.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Wording is everything. I remember taking a survey in the doctors office back when I was in grad school. The questions were along the line of: have you suffered a lack of sleep in the past 6 months? Have you felt anxious about your future? I told the doctor: what grad student WOULDNT answer yes to all these questions? May 14, 2011 at 5:53 AM. Hahaha, soo true. Grad school is soo much work. Youre right on to point that out to the doctor, hahaha. And yes! Wording is super important!

Transcultural vogueing: good advice: develop your people filter
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2008/06/good-advice-develop-your-people-filter.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. Good advice: develop your people filter. So my experience with friendships with other gringos-friends I’ve made in. For the most part, is, that if a gringo seems to be buena onda – like fun, and enjoyable to be with, (s)he is. Enjoyable to be with and turns out to be a good friend. That strongly contradicts with my experience of friendships with Chilenos. Here I’ve found that not all people who seem to be buena onda, are. What’s the point? History. If I don't understand how the...

Transcultural vogueing: April 2010
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Top 11: You know you're a chilenized yanqui when. 11 You can't believe the amount of shopping people do in the States. 10 You are overwhelmed (and perhaps even amused or disgusted) by the material wealth of the United States. 9 Sometimes when a family member or friend suggests eating out, you say, "but we have so much food in the refrigerator at home.". 8 You ask for referrals for services and products all the time. You are also very practiced in negotiating prices. RIP diccionari...

Transcultural vogueing: December 2010
http://laeskimita.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 7, 2010. I used to think the most difficult Spanish in the world was Chilean Spanish. It probably still could be considered more difficult than not. Why Chilean Spanish is difficult to learn is that Chileans mostly:. Speak in a monotone. Cut off the last syllable of many words (e.g. cansá instead of cansada). A Cuban guy came to fix my stove upon moving into our apartment. His Spanish was wonderful. (His English was pretty good too! So I asked him, "Estaba tapado? Links to this post.
