Psychologists distinguish the different possibilities how to manage stress: the mechanisms of defense. One mechanism is the most archaic cleavage. Archaic means, roughly, that a character uses the well-structured if it is exposed to major stress. A person Takes unstructured events that people can spend with well-structured defense mechanisms most elegant, as highly stressful situations, and that's why she uses the split very often. A world split is a world black and white without gray.
And as you can see, either I'm an ill-structured, Chile is stressing me a lot.
So the first good Chile.
This weekend, we went to Termas del Plomo. There it is rendered with Manka, Standa and their daughter Marketa. Standa also working at the Observatory and in addition, it is a great mountain. He means so well with the cosmonauts. So we decided to spend the weekend together and take the opportunity to climb a hill somewhere. At the same time, we thought it might be cold and camping near the spa was therefore a bad idea. Friday morning, we met in San Jose and continued to Cajon de Maipo. On a road of dirt, we got to the reserve Yeso. In the entrance to the reserve, the road more or less maintained has changed in a way with lots of holes occasionally interrupted by a river. There was even a place where he had to go down the bank of a river walk more than half a meter directly into the water. Pathfinder was glad the road is fun, but it was a bit concerned for Standa. But of course, arriving at the spa, we crossed into Peugot 206, so I do not see why the four four bottom Standa not pass.
For baths, where it was believed to camp, there were several cars. And there is some bad Chile, with its screaming alarms at any hour with its radios that sing regeton thoroughly and engines that were used in the night like a heater. In short, it was really a virgin place. Chileans and ecology is not really that. We wondered why he must pay to enter the reserve, while in the camp, there is not even a toilet and all the people relieve themselves in the river therefore protected. And of course that people in the camp feel like a lot of Chileans as plastic bottles and bags will decompose quickly discarded. In short, nature, it is to be worn. I wish I knew where that money goes entries, but I'm sure it's not in the protection of nature.
Fortunately, Chileans are not great walkers and after a few steps outside camping, nature remained clean. Saturday, we wanted to climb to base camp for climbing
Marmolejo. Marmolejo is a hill of 6000 feet and we would like to try mounting a day. It was a good idea to identify the way forward, because the base camp is at the altitude around 4138 meters and the approach walk is quite tiring, even if it is not wrong path. In Chile, there are military maps, which are not bad, but of course there are no trails in there. was crossing the river by removing our shoes and then we started to cross the marsh. Fortunately, they were frozen after the night and we happened to cross without getting wet too. Finally, we are still being feet a little. After two hours of walking, we finally found the right valley and began climbing. In the valley, there was a stream. In a moment, the valley became very close with the stream deeply embedded between the two sides
. We thought if we follow the stream or if it goes on the mature valley. Finally, it was decided to mount. We continued with the brook running well below our right.
And then there it was. before us, there was a huge hole. This stream had a nasty dude who came from the left, so we walked on the side, although embedded in the rock as his buddy. They met
ent in the ravine of 300 meters below. It was almost a kind of island, completely cut off from the opportunity to continue to rise. Bah, this is proof that Cimrman, the great philosopher, physician, scientist, writer and teacher (fictitious fictitious fictitious fictitious fictitious) Czech was right. It has helped science by discovering all fornices. Here, we know that next time when we go to Marmolejo, we must not take this road here. This Saturday, we just looked at the hole, then made a picnic and we went down. Well, things fail every time.
The next day we went swimming and then we said goodbye to Manka, Standa and Marketa who returned to Santiago. For training, it is mounted on a small hill behind the camp. They were only 600 meters in altitude, but as the base camp is at an altitude of 3000 meters is a good way to increase his lung capacity. The view from this hill was amazing. Returning the Cosmonaut let me drive so I could for the first time, ordered to Pathfinder. It is well. We climbed the bank of even half a meter without getting on the roof. The Cosmon
aute told me they must yield more than 45 degrees if we want to overthrow. He knows everything about Pathfinder and he wants to test its limits. It may be also why he let me drive. Once on the normal route, I let him drive the Cosmonaut, because I want nothing to do with the Chilean drivers. In addition, there was no valid driver's license. And it is more likely that it's me who has an accident.
We do not have valid driving license ...
Here, we go to Chile bad. If you want to see good pictures of Chile, look here .
We do not have valid driving license, because for it, must pass an examination. People who came before us did not have to do this review, it was enough to have a European license and pass the medical examination. But I think it may be an intelligent politician must have thought: ah, how I could attract the voters who feel threatened by the trafficking of wild Santiago, without limiting the voters who drive like maniacs? And he said: I'm going to force foreigners to pass all the tests! In English. The Centre has assured us we can do the test in English, but neither the Cosmonaut, nor I, we are not motivated to open the code. For by cons, that it must. Because if you want to learn the code just by looking at the drivers, you may be surprised that during the review drive on the motorway in the direction against the emergency lane is actually prohibited. Even with caution.
Besides the problem with the permits was another concern. Heating. Winter is coming and the temperature in our apartment is 17 degrees. There was no heat because the Chileans believe that this is not essential, as well as double glazing would be used for anything. Arriving in Monte Carmelo, we learned that we have a gas supply on the wall for show, it was therefore thought to connect heating there. A gas heater, economic and efficient.
were first removed the word "effective." The first man who came to see me that according to the rules, we can not connect a heating greater than 3000W. After he asked me, if you want a thermostat or not. And, being a good businessman, he glorified the thermostat by saying: "It's super comfortable, you turn the temperature 16 or 17 Degrees and heating keeps it automatically." I told him that I never use the word "comfortable" in the same sentence with "16-17 degrees". "In any case, in winter, you will suffer." the man said with a smile diabolical.
Then he told me to put this tiny heater, make it fat breakdown in our windows too tight. If that tight windy outside, the curtains move even if the windows are closed. The windows you leave them whole for washing. In the room with the door with a hole an inch below.
I told myself that I let them off the windows, anyway, we will isolate them later with foam and it will clog the vent. Suddenly, the case has passed to another person to do the installation plan.
The gentleman came to the project on the same day when they delivered a heater the size of that which is in the toilet cubicles in Czechia. But a look from Mr. Project was sufficient to say that installation is impossible. Apart from the windows, we must also make a 30cm hole in the wall under the window and like us, we have a sort of little garden in front of the windows, we can not do that hole.
It leaves us with an alternative to buying heating oil, paraffin, kerosene or heating the same and like everyone else. There is no question of buying an electric heater, for circuit breakers up to support an oven and light. The Cosmonaut is gone for the largest heating it can find. Quickly, because with the season, soon there will be no heating in the stores.
Me, I have the task of returning this heating inconnection. This, I must do it easily: call the seller. But the salesman no longer works at Metrogas since Monday. Anyway, so I have to cross that half of Santiago to sign a paper and then they'll pick up the heating.
same time, we were still cut off the phone. The bill came already outdated and strangely, I have not been paid before.
By cons, rent, I paid, but mea culpa, via the Internet. Paying on the Internet is also a long story "it is not possible right now to make your transaction, try later". Just to try ten times and averaged it out. Finally, the rent was past, but yet I aprris today we have not paid. I went to the accountant with all the papers proving that I paid on time. The accountant told me I did not put the apartment number on the transaction and suddenly, I have to pay the surcharge. I told him that I put the number. He said no and that is why he is not on the certificate of the transaction. I told him that I sent him an email with everything and I put the number. I about to force him to get my mail when I really looked at his small office full of papers, checks and certificates of payment. And I understood. And I paid the surcharge.
PS Remember when I said that Chileans love small trucks. Well, this is not a practical vehicle on all days, but ...
