Okay, so yesterday I went to a friend's for lunch, then with Jose to change my flight so that I can go to Santiago, Viña del Mar, and Valparaiso for a few days, then the mall. While I was at the mall (of course buying new clothes because I´m bored with mine), I called a friend. He says, sure come to my house don´t walk around alone. Problem, I can´t understand how to tell the cab driver how to get to his house. Which is different than the last time I was there b-c he moved. So, I get in the cab, he tells the driver how to get there. 10 minutes later, I´m standing on the street in a place I don´t recoginze and my freaking phone won´t work. Yeah.... you know how in Morgantown around 9 or 10 on a Thursday or Friday it´s nearly impossible to get a call out. You know that weird beeping and then the disconnection that we get? Yeah, that happened. EXCEPT the difference here is that my phone here isn´t a plan. It´s like prepaid minutes or something, I don´t know and I don´t really understand. And whenever it feels like it, it runs out of minutes and I´m stranded. On the street in front of what might or might not be my friend´s house.... Thank god the cab driver was concerned for my safety and didn´t just drive off. He waited and then offered to take me back to my house. So, as we´re driving along chatting (the driver insisted on practicing his English which was fine with me) BAAAAAMMMMMM we get hit from behind. Yup, I was in a traffic accident yesterday. Minor, I mean I think the cab got messed up a little bit, but I was perfectly fine. So, we continued on our merry way back to ¨my¨house. As soon as I walked through the door Christian called wondering where the hell I was.... it would happen like that. He couldn´t have called when I was standing outside his door.
I hate my cell phone here, it is worthless. I´m sorry, but it is pointless to have prepaid minutes because when you have an emergency and you´re out of minutes, your screwed. I will always and forever have a ¨plan¨ even if it is more expensive!!
