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...

A Shark in Shallow Water: October 2009
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Saturday, 31 October 2009. I was so close. The line was in sight and I dropped the baton. Although, I am disappointed, Im consoled by the fact that my actions may have inspired others to do the same, but I doubt it. I had almost cleared a whole calendar month without bawling at an idiotic Chilean. Not only did I fall off the wagon, I fell off and took out four of them in one fell swoop. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Links to this post. I dont like ly...

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Thursday, 28 January 2010. How can you tell when a Chilean is lying? Their lips are moving. Im afraid not. The opinion of a belligerent Gringo? Well, yes. But also of the Chileans themselves. Chileans just dont trust Chileans. Thats more of a beer thing. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Links to this post.

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 5 March 2010. Could all the dead people please take one step forward? Its all so surreal. Did it happen? Was it a bad, yet terribly exciting, dream? Ive just switched on the TV and theyre still. Talking about it. I officially have terremoto. Fatigue. Its been almost a week since The Quake that Shook Chile. As its being lazily dubbed by bloggers. Have they not been able to get back from their holiday destinations? No, no and hahahaha. Hello ...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble.......
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009/12/sont-les-mots-qui-vont-tres-bien.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Sunday, 13 December 2009. Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble. Today is one of the saddest days in Chile's history. I say one of. Because the worst is yet to come. Today we begin our farewell to one of the greatest players in Chilean history since Bernardo O'Higgins, the Irishman who liberated Chile from the Spanish. Chile She has played her part by building and trying to maintain a cabinet of 50% women. She has been a working parent all her ...

Abby's Line: November 2010
http://abbyline.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
FAQ about Teaching English in Santiago, Chile. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. You may have recently noticed that my posts recently have been fewer and far between. Like some other bloggers in Chile, namely Andrea. I feel as though I have nothing more to say about life in Chile, because it's no longer "life in Chile".it's just.life. I don't really like that idea though, because then if someone asked for the password and I didn't really feel like giving it to them I would feel bad. I think it's inevitable, ho...

FAQ about Teaching English in Santiago, Chile. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Primero que todo, un "disclaimer".trabajé 14 horas hoy día así que estoy un poco cansada, y si mi castellano no es perfecto, es solamente por eso.jajaja. Broma. Si mi castellano no es perfecto, es porque no lo es no más. Pero sí es cierto que he trabajado mucho hoy, así que puede que ande peor que lo normal. Entonces hoy día, desde las 8:00 hasta las 22:00, hablé puro castellano. Creo que dije como dos palabras en inglés tod...

A Shark in Shallow Water: April 2010
http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 16 April 2010. Due to recent events our building was without gas and therefore hot water for nearly two weeks. This made showering quite difficult. Im way too cowardly to take a cold shower. Using a variety of containers and a kettleful of boiling water showering was pretty much achieved, albeit quite time consuming. I think if youre going to sport whiskers then the full combo should employed, beard and. Moustache. An unaccompanied bear...
