Seven months have passed and I realized I hadn't presented you all where I live, the house I share in Santiago, "La Casa", my new home. It is located near the center, close to everything! We have supermarket, metro, restaurants and bars, everything at walking distance. However, it somehow remains a quiet area, both during the day and night. The house itself is dated from the 1930's, old and cold, but we like it nevertheless. It has two floors, six rooms and a small garden, which is excellent in summer for the parties!
I share this house with six more people right now, but there is a lot of rotation around here. They are mostly students working at ESO, but some come for a few months only, others for a couple of years. Right now we have Pedro, portuguese astronomer from Porto; his wife Bene, italian; Benoit, french astronomer leaving next week; Michel, a swiss engineer working at La Silla; Svante, finnish photographer; and Johannes, german engineer who will stay for a few months. We also had here Francesca, for three months, with whom I shared a trip to
San Pedro de Atacama. Multicultural environment, all twenty-ish, student atmosphere, a family.
The spirit is something unique around here. We always help each other, we cook together, we go out and we invite people to the house. The house itself boosts the social life a lot, since we have a lot of space, inside and outside, it is fairly easy to give a party or bring some friends to dinner. Violeta, Thomas and Olivia are the closest. And we are crazy, we are all crazy, sometimes I wonder how the house is still standing...

Locos, locos de verdad. Es muy bonito el ambiente que se vive en esa casa, verdaderamente es una familia muy particular. Me siento muy bien allí así es que gracias por invitarme siempre, siento que todos somos muy queridos y encontramos allí un espacio para reír, conversar y divertirnos.
Venirse a abajo??? Nunca, hay ahí muchísima energía positiva que la sostiene en pie.
Un beso, Pedro.
é uma Casa Portuguesa, com certeza
é com certeza uma Casa Portuguesa
É sempre bom estar entre pessoas que nos são queridas =)
Aliás são as pessoas que nos dão o conforto e nem sempre as condições onde estamos ;)
É isso mesmo. Aquela casa em conforto deixa muito a desejar, mas aquelas chaminés fumegam de calor humano! Não é uma casa portuguesa, mas estamos a trabalhar nisso. Falta o bacalhau e as migas!
Esqueci-me de referir no post, mas acho que já vos disse a todos. Estais convidadíssimos a vir cá disfrutar do calor humano da malta e da falta de conforto da casa! :p Boraaaaa
Não admira que estejas mais gordo! Com tanta iguaria de toda a parte do mundo...Mas que grande falha, teres vindo a Portugal e não teres levado bacalhau para os teus room mates.. imperdoável.
Mas isso das festas e tal.. já chega de pores inveja, ta?
Realmente o que fica é isso mesmo, as relações humanas, as pessoas que nunca sairão da nossa vida.
Grande abraço!
Não é só o bacalhau que falta. Então e um napron em cima do televisor ou o belo do chouriço pendurado na chaminé?
E o teu cachecol do SLB?!
"Iguarias de toda a parte do mundo" oh Esteves... Que pena que esta malta não vê o meu blog, senão já estavas a facturar! Isso foi bem javardolas! Assim já gosto!
O meu cachecol do SLB deixei-o em Portugal, com muita pena minha, mas quando eu decidir assentar no Chile naturalmente que o trago! Isso e o satélite a apontar à Sport TV. Ou será à Benfica TV?
Alguém me mandar um quilito de bacalhau e duas broas de milho, faxavor?...
Um quilo de bacalhau não mas se quiseres sport tv para veres o benfica podemos arranjar...
Quem é que fez a tua cama para a foto? humm tá tão bem feita que até tou a desconfiar...
Isso agooooora, se aquela cama falasse... seria uma seca! Ou então não!
Tenho visto os jogos do SLB na net, há bons streams por aí, tenho acompanhado tudinho, incluindo a GLORIOSA vitória de hoje frente aos italianos.
Ainda bem que encontraste gente tão agradável com quem viver. Parece mesmo um óptimo ambiente.
