Dinner at home. Every day I arrive home around 18:30 from my Spanish class. I need to take a taxi because of safety (it is dark at 17:30). Then I arrive home, unpack, read a bit, tidy stuff, relax. At 20:00 we always eat. Normally I go downstairs around 19:30 to help Carmela cooking and speak a bit.
My family is really friendly and I am really happy with them. Especially with Yolanda I have a good relationship, we chat, speak about our day, painted our nails together, that kind of things haha. Today she asked me if I want to go for a beer with her next week and I would really like to go with a local into Cusco.
Yolanda is a dentist and has a boyfriend, but only since half a year so she does not want to move together yet.
Carmela likes to speak, she speaks, a lot, really a lot (yup, more than me). She told me during dinner today that she got divorced 12 years ago (her husband found another) and had difficulties paying the house, taking care of Yolanda and Luis (her kids). So during 2 years her family helped out. Then Maximo nivel came to her. They could let some students sleeping in her house and pay her for it. Since the last 10 years she has done that and she enjoys it.
Also here lives Luis, who is a bit quiet, but really friendly. He likes to speak about football.
Then there is James, from the USA, Colorado. He is only 18, but seems way older in his way of speaking. He has interesting conversation material and we discuss a lot about politics, culture etc. He is not really funny though and he never does something with friends. He is always studying and studying. But both Luis and James are nice people!
After I chat and take dinner with the family, around 9-10pm I go towards my room, write a bit on FindPenguin and then go to sleep.
Oh, by the way, all of this in Spanish!Read more
