Viaje en Motupe, Cuy and more

Het is weer meer dan een week geleden dus tijd om mijn blog eens up te daten. Doordat het de laatste tijd redelijk druk was had ik geen tijd om een stukje te schrijven. Nu komt er dus weer een hele boterham bij. 

But I’m going to do it in English because that way other people from AFS can read it as well. As I was saying, it has been a while since I updated my blog so now it’s going to be a huge update.

For a Friday, the beginning of the (party)weekend, 5 hours of Lectura y Redacción is too much! It’s super boring! So we talked a lot, but really much. That much that the teacher really got irritated! The teacher was even more irritated because I was writing my notes in my manual. It isn’t a problem, but she makes one of it because she wants that I write it down in a notebook. But that’ her problem. I’m not going to buy one for such a boring lesson! At 5 I had a meeting with Charlotte at RP for her Feliz Cumpleaños. Just before we returned to home, I and another mutual friend threw eggs at her. It’s like some tradition between young people. Together with my brother I went to the pub where we go often. But we didn’t stay that long (1 am) because the real parties are on Saturday.

Fully recovered after a good sleep I went to eat something with Giuli, the girl from university. We laughed and talked a lot, but nothing more. Maybe a bit stupid, but I’ll have other opportunities. Afterwards I went to Utchutero again with my bro, a friend and 3 girls they knew. 1 was more than ok btw! Then we went to Magno. Carlos and I were in a super party-mood. After the party he said that I could have kissed her if I wanted. Stupid of hem that he only said that after we left. The girls gave me some dance lessons. Due to that my merengue is becoming ok. But my salsa keeps on sucking. We went at home at 4 am. To sleep only 3 hours because I had to wake up at 7 again…

On Sunday there was the trip the Motupe. It was nice, but really tiring. Even more if you take yesterday evening into the count. The bus trip took around 1h30. When we arrived, we took a combi to go to the cross of Motupe. We were dropped at the foot of the hill. From there on it was an hour climbing to the place where the cross was. The view at the top was really astonishing! The chapel and the cave with the cross in it were beautiful as well. If you didn’t wanted to do to climb to watch the chapel and the cave then you needed to do it for the view! Next we visited the city centre. The basilica was beautiful, as well as the city square. We needed to wait an hour for our buss. Not because there weren’t busses, but because there were a lot of people. When I arrived at home I ate, took a shower and went to sleep early after the hard weekend.

Monday was the first time I had Desarollo Personal. Quite boring. After the break the classes of Logica started. Against all expectations it wasn’t boring at all! I understood the mayor part of it and I even helped my friends with understanding it! It was really funny.

Tuesday, that means 4 hours of Logica. The 3 first hours passed quickly but the last one kept on going. I ate cuy (guinea pig/cavia) for the first time at home. Muy rico! It was really delicious! A lot of work for only a bit of meat but it was really tasty. I called with my dad for his bday en in the evening I went to the centre rent my tuxedo.

On Wednesday during the lessons of tourism I took the time to wrote in my diary, because it was about time that I wrote in it. In the afternoon I bought shoes, a combination of formal and casual so that I could were them with a jeans to. Also bought a tie and a shirt. The search for the shoes almost took me 2 hours but we found them in the last shop we wanted to do.

On Thursday we started with 2 hours of Lectura. What was it boring! The time looked like frozen. Afterwards there was the trip to the Bruning-museum. No classes, that’s always nice, but it was really boring to! In the evening we went to the shop of the tuxedo and changed the rent. Instead of renting, I bought it. Because I would use it more than once.

I wasn’t looking forward to Friday, 4 hours of Lectura … During the recreation Ivan called us. We needed to make pictures for our entrance-pass for university. We told him that it was too boring and asked if we could change. He went with us to the director of our faculty and she said that it was no problem. It was already fixed after 5 minutes. We changed Lectura for Recursos Turisticos. A subject with more culture in it. We went to pick up our bags in the classroom and Ivan said the teacher that we changed Lectura. Her face was epic!!! Gregory and I had a hard time to hide the smile on our face. At 4 pm we went to school again for the Cachimbo-ceremony. A ceremony for all new people in the first grade. We received a pin with the career that we’re following. We started our evening as often in Uchu, then we bought some sacaverdades. You would tell the truth if you would drink it. It missed is effect totally, but it was nice. We ended our evening at a friend’s house, talking and laughing.

Carlos and I recuperated until 6 pm. We did nothing, watched tv, we did some shopping for the house. In RP we met Charlotte. We had a nice chat and back to mi casa. We went to D’Pulpa for a fruit shake. Really good! (Banana-Pineapple, what a delicious combination!) Then to RP for a cocktail, because it was happy hour. 2 for the price of 1. Vodka orange, something else to remember! After a while we went home, still wearing the scares of yesterday.

At noon, we went all together to a Chifa-restaurant. Chifa is a combination between the Peruvian and the Chinese kitchen. The food was nice. It wasn’t the last time that I’ll eat Chifa. From there we went to a peluceria (hairdresser). For only /S. 6 my beard was shortened (+- 1.80 euro). Then we went to Nando’s place to watch a movie. We had a good time and said that we needed to do it more often on Sundays!

During the first 2 hours of university (Desarollo) I didn’t do anything as usual during this class. We had a test of Logica afterwards. I didn’t study for it but it went ok. I think that I’ll have more than some others of my class, but that isn’t difficult I suppose. Because mathematics stays the same, even in another language. We ate at school because in the afternoon we had basketball. Giuli and a girlfriend watched all the time at Gregory and me. It was really fun! After the training we played a bit with them and convinced them to train Wednesday with us. The training is mixed, so boys and girls play together. I like that!

Because it’s taking me too long if I wait this long for updating my blog, I’m going to try to update it more often, so that I don’t need to write whole books!

Hasta luego!!!
