An explanation. Chanchita is one of the charming diminutives Chilean's give each other. It means little pig. Others are la gordita (fatty), or my old nickname La Blanca (white one), but I didn't want this blog to attract white supremacists. Also bacon comes from pigs, so it makes sense for this to be my choice affectionate word for all.
This is basically just to say I am alive and have survived my first day of orientation. I can't wait to be allowed to go outside without someone holding my hand, but it could be worse. However, if I continue to eat the five course meals of not very nice food and delicious fluffy white bread, I will be la Gordita.
Will post as soon as I have adventures
