Update from Santiago

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile ... internet problems at my school are still a problem.

I'm currently in Santiago with my school's debate team for the English Debate competition. Tomorrow, 18 teams we be whittled down to only 10. The team is definitely nervous and excited. I think they are ready though.

The September 18th celebration at my school was very enjoyable. The students all performed dances from different places and times of Chile. It was very much ceremony that celebrated all the parts of Chile so while their was a lot of cueca (the national dance of Chile) there was also a lot of other dance included many indigenous dances. The most popular dance were dances of the people from Easter island with 3 or 4 different grades doing it. After the ceremony, the teachers got to enjoy a catered bbq with excellent meat, wine, and chi-cha.

Here are the photos from the ceremony <>
