A Shark in Shallow Water: Heads and Tales
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/heads-and-tales.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 12 February 2010. The Japanese call it fat finger syndrome. It has nothing to do with sumo wrestling but rather the keying errors made by financial traders under severe stress. A trader's number pad will have the usual keys 0-9. And also a couple of extra ones for 00. Can run to 15 figures. Unfortunately, these two extra keys, 00. And hit enter. Unfortunately you don't quite make a clean contact with the 00. We are human. It would be qu...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Off the Sphincter Scale
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/off-sphincter-scale.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Sunday, 28 February 2010. Off the Sphincter Scale. Yes, my neighbourhood is a shithole. That was Friday. Then to make matters worse, we have an earthquake! The vast majority of Santiago is a complete eyesore. And, again. I'm talking pre- Earthquake 8.8. Post-quake, it's a little difficult to discern what is actual damage and what is just the natural state of this ugly city. It's still summer and well, I like to sleep naked. Steady ladies! Amigo ven...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Dogs and Camels
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009/12/dogs-and-camels.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Sunglasses are essential during sunny weather. In Santiago, you need them pretty much all year round. While officially not summer here yet, the fact that there are more sunny days above 25°C than not, makes it summer in my book. Who take a break from drug dealing to scream heladoheladohelado. The third most notable effect is the increase in the amount of female flesh on display. Chilean women do not flirt with strangers (a...

Yo dormí bajo el agua: noviembre 2011
http://pastudillo.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Yo dormí bajo el agua. 1 La permanente disposición hacia la aventura que se desprende del vientre materno. 2. La constante inclinación hacia los sueños húmedos. Martes, 8 de noviembre de 2011. Misa a la francesa. A la misma hora que mi hermano seguro daba saltos de cueca chilota, a la misma hora, quizás un poco antes, yo hacía la fila para comulgar en una iglesia de París. 191;Cómo en el mismo silencio un mismo rito puede ser tan diferente? 191;Es por eso que siento un poco de rabia? Esta letanía pretenc...

https://ktayd13.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/my-battle-with-anxiety-part-one
A Rant, A Rave, and a Little Bit of Everyday Life. Experiences of a Newlywed Gringa Living in Chile. My Battle With Anxiety, Part One. Between missing out on everything in the states, making new friends, trying to fit into a new lifestyle, managing a new job, and language/cultural barriers, living abroad can be a bitch sometimes. When you add an anxiety disorder into the mix, things get downright complicated. Nothing is lonelier than the emptiness that you have created for yourself. How did I find out?

A Rant, A Rave, and a Little Bit of Everyday Life. Experiences of a Newlywed Gringa Living in Chile. I fell in love with a man named Felipe. Yeah, I know it sounds cliché…the American girl goes abroad and falls in love with the country and a foreigner and they have a whirlwind romance. It sounds like a two-dollar romance you can pick up at your local supermarket. My name is Caitlin, and my journey is just beginning. If you would like to read more about my story, click here.

https://brentzundel.com/2015/03/20/el-mechoneo-hazing
Brent Zundel’s collected writings and personal blog, with perspectives on the environment, politics, community, good beer, and international travel through a Montana lens. Photo courtesy deviantart.com. My first day at the university, I saw young students walking around half-dressed, without shoes, and covered in various colors of paint, flour, and other interesting-smelling liquids, so I asked the Chileans in my lab what was going on. Begging for money to buy their clothes back (and throw a raging.
