I had speculated that Southeast Asia may cause a fair bit of culture shock. There’s the heat, the food, the markets, the more conservative way of dress, the language barrier, and of course my fears of giant cockroaches and squat toilets. Turns out, I didn’t have much to fear. Most people speak a little English to communicate, I’ve only come across a handful of cockroaches, and I have not had to use one single squat toilet. I was even surprised…
Caturday! (and a thank you note)
My apawlogies…. I’m gonna be a total hypurrcrite today, and throw up a bunch of pictures without anything witty to say about them. I’ve been meaning to post these photos (I litterally cannot resist NOT sharing them!) for weeks, and what better day is there to do so than today?! Ummm… BECAUSE CATURDAY!
Sleeping Puppies Collection, Santiago
After spending some time in a city, I always come to associate it with certain things that particularly stick out in my mind. Like Montevideo is all about the doors. Buenos Aires was all about the pastries and cakes. And Santiago? Well it was all about the mote con huesillos, jugo naturales, coffee shops, pisco sours… (hmmm.. I’m starting to see a drink theme going on). But it was also all about the stray dogs. You’ll see them everywhere, in both the poorer areas and the affluent areas….
