Wednesday after Spanish class my friend Diego invited Katy and I over to his apartment to watch the Ecuador vs Chile soccer game. When we arrived Diego's friend was in the kitchen cooking (and be cooking I mean "cooking") completos. Completos are a Chilean favorite and are hot dogs with tomatoes, avocado, onions, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Our completos were served with mango sours and piscolas. Piscola is a mix of pisco and Coke and is the drink of choice for young Chileans. We watched the soccer game with Diego and about 5 of his friends and everyone was pretty intense about the game. I don't think it could have gotten much more Chilean: futbol, completos, and piscola. After Chile won the game we could hear the whole city go crazy. We went out on the balcony and looked out over all the people running through the streets chanting, waving flags, and honking horns.
After the soccer game they wanted to teach us a drinking game called Cuarto Rey. Fortunately for us we already knew how to play because it is basically the same as King's Cup. We swapped rules and had a great time playing categories and choosing impossible topics for each other. After Cuarto Rey we blasted reggaeton, the boys sang along, and we had a dance party in the living room. Katy and I have our work cut out for us: learn the lyrics to all the most popular songs! In the taxi on the way home Katy and I agreed that it was one of the most fun nights we have had in Chile.
