I am now settled (temporarily) in Coquimbo, in northern Chile where I am volunteering at a local art school(score!) until the end of August.
I had a concert thrown in my honor yesterday haha and was introduced on stage in front of the entire school as the band was setting up.
of course, being me, I´ve had very awkward/offensive/non-p.c. moments already such as when my co-teacher hosted a little Q and A session in front of the class and asked me,
¨Can you tell us why you are Asiatic?¨
or today when another student teacher had a picture of feather and asked
Q: ¨Who wore this?¨
A: ¨Indians!¨
oh and one student went ¨ching chong¨ as I walked by. damn.
but other than that most are really friendly and I´ll be taking art/piano + guitar lessons(and maybe dance lessons) when my cast comes off next Monday(is it normal to hurt even when the cast is coming off in less than a week?)
