is it possible my spanish is improving!?!
Hey everyone! Just a quick post because I should really be reading all of the reading that I haven't done for the past few weeks...So on Friday I found the place I have been searching for in Santiago: outdoor chilling spot where you can just chill and talk. It is called H20 and basically is a huge square surrounded by buildings (i think in the day it has shopping) with all these tables with lights around them and places you can buy drinks and music is always present of course. So that was great and I was sitting around talking with my dominican friends in spanish and all of a sudden they are like oooh heey!! getting all excited and im like what what, and they were like: just then your spanish was so good, just like a dominican would say it! and it happened once more that night, it was so nice! So perhaps I am improving? Some dominican phrases/vocab of interest:
estoy jodiendo=i'm just kidding (literally it means I am just fucking with you but I dont want to hurt innocent ears hahha too late)
eso es una vaina bien= this is a good thing
pelu=hairy but very dominican way of saying it
After that night saturday I was off to la playa!! My friend Jorge drove, while Boli, Ben, Michelle and Luana sat (yes four in the back, it was not a comfie drive). My friend Boli's dad had a guy who owed him money and couldnt pay, as a result they inherited a huge four story mansion near the beach of sosua, however in pretty big disrepair. That is where we stayed, it was fun! But no furniture except beds bc they are trying to sell it. Went to the beach, swam my heart out, went to the discotecas right on the beach danced my heart out. Met some of Jorge's bffs that night who were very charming (not to mention cuuute). That's about it! Love everyone, miss you!
The girls! Mike (michelle), Me and Luana.
While jumping off huge cliffs, and climbing up again, a few of us incurred injuries (not me!).
This is an example of one of the many "sanky pankies" you see especially at tourist beach places like this one. Dominican prostitutes hired by rich gross white ladies.

My mural I worked on! Except the flowers and trees were already there, we just made them prettier, and then there was this really freakily drawn person that we erased it was sick.
