Bon voyage y buena suerte (por los dos!)

So Friday night my initial "host brother" Jonathan left for his exchange to Canada.
Buena Suerte Jonathan! :D

Sad.
(lol understatement...I cried..like a lot)
but he's in my district near Wenatchee in Salmon Arm (well...300 miles "near") But hopefully in 9 months I'll get a chance to see him again.

His friends are pretty cool too. So far I really know Sergio and Mauricio
(whom they call, "chino" which he's Japanese not chinese..lol also with the twin Korean girls in my class everyone calls "chinas" ..they're Korean. But here it's normal to call someone Asian, doesn't matter what kind, "Chino(a)". I laugh to think about how racist Americans would think that is..hah I corrcted a guy in my class once and said, "They're Korean!" and Lucas just looks at me and laughs at my social activism..in Peru!)
Anyways, his friends showed up at the airport t say good bye to him. However..as the typical Peruvians they are, they showed up too late; so after he left. But we took pictures to prove they were there to send to him. It's coming together for me =) SO is my language. Everything is really brokenfor me but I understand WAY more andcan say more and they Spanish classes I get weekly help too.

Oh yeah I tried this thing called Salchipapa or something like that..it has fried potatoes, egg,cut up hot dog and its covers in ketchup and Peru mayo..holy molar it's amazing.

lol so you may be wondering why my title is bilingual^^ I miss French very much ^^ I love it and I miss studying/speaking/reading..breathing! French haha
I actually got a chance to teach a guy in my class some french. He's trying to learn so he asks me to teach him. It's just he doesn't speak any english and I speak just enough to get by haha so I have to translate everything form English to French to Spanish. Ming boggling (yes, my mind was quite boggled. It's a word. Google it.)
But so much fun. I love his Spanish to French dictionary!
