Now I am staying at a hostel in Santiago.
I go to a Spanish school.
The school is named ゛Woodward゛ and located in outside of Santiago.
Everyday I take metro and go to the school.
I don't know how long I will go to the school. It depends on my Spanish.
I have a friend in Santiago.She is from Bolivia and working in a cafeteria in my hostel.She doesn't speak English well and wants to study it. So when she is off,we go out and study language. She teach me Spanish and I teach her English.

強盗未遂に遭いました。
夜中にパトリシア（ボリビア人・ホステルのカフェで働いている）と一緒に道を歩いていたら、銃を持った２人の男が近付いてきて「金を出せ」と脅してきました。
パトリシアが必死に「何も持っていない」と言い続けて、なんとか何もとられずに済みましたが、本当に怖かったです。
もしかしたら一目で外国人だとわかる自分を狙ってきたのかも。とにかく気をつけなきゃ。
I got robber at Santa Lucia. I was walking on the street with my friend(Bolivian,working in my hostel) when two robbers with a gun approched us and said ゛Give me money゛.
My friend said ゛we don't have anything゛ desperately,and the robbers went away soon,so we didn't lose anything.But we were really scared.
I have to be careful!!

A class mate shopping in a supermarket near school.
The Spanish class stared from today.
There were 3 people in the class besides me .
A woman from New Zealand(her job is farm manager),a girl from Morroco (student) and a man from England(accountant).
The Accountant had lived in Japan for bussiness about 5 months last year and knew well about Japan.
The class was really nice. Friendly teachers and students. I really enjoyed.
前にも書きましたが、スペイン語の語学学校に行くことになりました。
きっかけは、ホステルの同じ部屋にいた日本人男性との会話です。
世界一周旅行の感想を訊かれたので、今の気持ちを正直に答えました。
初めは面白かったけど、今は完全に飽きてきている。ホステルで人と話すのも楽しいけれども、南米で会う日本人には正直うんざりしている。いかに安く旅をしているとか、どこが一番良かったとか、つまらない話ばかり。自分は自転車で日本とカナダを旅をしたことがあるけど、そのときの旅の方が何倍も濃かったように思う。
すると、その男性はこう言いました。
旅に飽きたのだったら、旅とは違う、こちらでしかできないことをすればいい。せっかく長期で海外にいるのだから。
スペイン語の学校に行ったらどうだい?
氷河やマチュピチュもいいけど、それらは見たら終わりだ。でもスペイン語を話せるようになれば一生の財産になるし、これからの旅も面白くなると思うよ。
Why did I decide to go to a Spanish school suddenly?
It started from a conversation with a Japanese.
He asked me how I felt about the traveling and I answered.
゛I am sick of sightseeing honestly.It's fun talking with other tourists at a hostel.But still I feel it is just a killing time.And I don't like Japanese tourists in South America.They are always about money.And I am sick of topics like ゛where did you like best?゛
I've traveled Japan and Canada by bike.It was quite better than this trip. Where to go is not so important to me. HOW and WHAT are more important.゛
゛If you are sick of traveling゛ he said ゛ You should do something different. Something you can't in Japan.
Why don't you go to Spanish school? You are studying Spanish and seems you like it.
If I were you,I would go to Spanish school without hesitation.
Machupichu and glacier are good too.But if you learn Spanish,it will be your ability and your trip will be better.゛
The next day,I was knocking on a Spanish school.
すごく簡単なようだけど旅行中に語学学校に行くなんて発想は全くなかったから、この日本人男性と話をした時は本当に目からウロコ（使い方あってる?）って感じでした。
しかも、憧れの語学留学!!!
厳密には語学留学とは言えないのかも知れないけど、長年の夢がかなった感じです。日本に帰ったら「チリに語学留学してました」と堂々と言おう。
スペイン語の語学学校に入学しました。
まずは月曜から２０時間（５日間）のお試しパックをやってみて、それが気に入ったら通常レッスンを追加して購入する仕組みです。
通常レッスンはフレキシブルで、好きな日の好きな時間に入れることができます。
早い話がＮＯＶＡと同じ仕組みですね。
来週の月曜から頑張るぞ。

I decided to go to Spanish school from next monday.
The school is tied up with the youth hostel and the travel agency in the hostel introduced me.
I am going to take 1 week 20 hours promo lessons first.
It is really nice turning point.

I postponed going to Easter Island because of sickness.
Suddenly I felt dizziness ,nausea and shiver in supermarket yesterday,and I couldn't stand for a while.
After coming back to the hostel,I suffered from diarrhea whole the night.
Now I have stomachache and no appetite.
I had a confidence about my health these days,so I am really shocked.
もしかしたら食べ物に当たったのかも知れない。
おととい、中央市場で変な魚料理を食べたから。白身魚とタルタルソースをミキサーにかけてグチャグチャにしたような料理でレモン汁をたくさんかけて食べるというもの。
不味かった。

Aigentina snack ゛enpanada゛ kind of meat pie.
Famous Argentina food is meat,but I don't like eating meat everyday.But Argentina bread is not much to my liking.So I often have las enpanadas.
There are many kinds of ingredients such as tomato souce,ham and cheese,vegetables.But I don't read Spanish and just point some,so I don't know ingredients until I eat it.
It's about 1.5 peso each.Cheap and tastes good.
Me gusta.
9th July Av（7月9日大通り）。
It's hot!!!
暑いよー。
アルゼンチン人はマテ茶をよく飲む。本当によく飲む。
みんな自分専用のマテ茶カップを持っていて、旅行でも必ずそれを持っていく。お湯を入れる魔法ビンと一緒に。
茶こしは金属のストローの方に付いているから、それだけ持ち歩けばいいんじゃないの?と訊いてみると、他のカップだと味が変わるからダメだそうだ。もちろんマテ茶カップにマテ茶以外のものを入れるのも厳禁。
そのまま飲んだり、砂糖を入れたり、冷たくして飲んだりと飲み方は人それぞれ。
緑茶を強くしたような味で、最初は変な味に感じるが、時間が経つとまた飲みたくなるから不思議だ。
というわけで自分もマテ茶と専用のストローを買ってみた。
本当は専用カップも欲しいけど、かさ張るのでホステルのコーヒーカップで代用することにした。
で実際に作ってみると...
飲みにくい!!!
ストローの茶こしの部分が側面にあるため、カップの中のお湯が減るにつれて、吸いにくくなるのだ。
マテ茶カップは底が丸形で、スタンドがないとコロンと転がってしまう。どうして平底にしないんだろうと不思議に思っていたが、丸底にして容器を深く狭くすることで、最後まで吸いやすくしていたのだ。
奥が深いぞ、マテ茶。
I am in the mood of going home.It's positive thinking. Not like homesick.
Now I feel I traveled enough.Very satisfied.I wanna respect this feeling.
It's first time to feel like this in my life.
Of course,I am going to visit North America,Australia,Asia Countries.
But now I feel I've finished half and the rest is on my way home.

Hostel Iguazu falls.
A week has passed since I came to South America.
Everyday I kiss someone.It's greeting.Lovely custom.
One of the Iguazu falls.
「なんじゃこりゃああっ！」
イグアス最大の滝「悪魔ののどぶえ」を上から覗いた瞬間、無意識のうちに日本語で叫んでしまった。
轟音とともに落ちるおびただしい量の水。その下には水煙以外は何も見えない。
大自然の力の前に僕はただ立ち尽くすしかなかった。
Pool side in Hostel.
I drink PinaColada with Fanta Naranja.
Get drunk.
飛行機のファーストクラス並みに豪華です（乗ったことないけど）。
イグアス行きの長距離バス。なんとシートじゃなくてベッド!!高かったけど帰りもこれにしよう。だって２０時間だもん。
でも最初の車内サービスがキャンディというのはどうなんだろう？
I am staying at hostel in Buenos Aires.
Other tourists are from Brasil,Peru,Australia and Israel.
It's first time for me to see Israel people,but they said so many Israelian travel South America.
The city of Buenos Aires reminds me of Barcelona. My guide book sais they trid to make Europe in South America. In my opinion,it's Spain rather than Europe.
Tmr I am going to Iguazu by bus. It will take abt 20 hours. I booked expensive super bed seat with meals.It should be comfortable.
I am thinking of going to the end of the world Patagonia. Maybe its easier going there from Santiago.

Grave of Eva Peron
I went to Cementerios Recoleta(memorial park) in Buenos Aires.
It is famous as artistic memorial park and many tourirts visit there.
The grave of Maria Eva Duarte de Peron（known as Evita) is there.
I prefer visiting memorial park than museum.I like to see gravestones.But even if I saw same gravestones in museum,I wouldn't be impressed like same way.
Now I am in Heathrow terminal and waiting for my flight to Buenos Aires.
I still don't believe I am leaving Europe and going to Argentina.
I met many people in this trip and wanna appreciate all the people.
Especially Olivie at Le thor, It was really nice days staying at your studio.
Mr Laurent at Paris,Thank you for everything. Tell me if you come to Japan.
And Grace at Rome and London, Thank you for inviting me for dinner.It was really precious experience meeting people living there. And I really liked taro ball.I am looking forward to seeing you again.
Happy new year!!!
