Well, for now anyway.
How do you like it?
I quite like it. Weather is much more stable than at home, and the temperature is quite nice. The altitude is a killer though, tried playing football on El Alto, never been so tired after 10 minutes of "jogging" in my life. Being a football coach up here is not exactly "easy on the lungs".
I've been lucky enough to get 2 excellent language teachers, who are both friendly, interesting and good at teaching Spanish, so my spanish is actually improving very rapidly. I've been traveling a little bit, and I'll be leaving for a vacation to Chile next week, which I am quite looking forward to. So far I definitely want to stay in South America for a while. Been looking at a plan for learning Portuguese and ending up working in Brazil for 2014

What are you doing in Bolivia?
I live here. Working as a volunteer for an aid organization.

Doing what?
I'm a volunteer for an aid organization. Working as an English professor and football coach. The latter is not fun at this altitude, but luckily I have managed to obtain enough technical ability to prevent running too much when playing with the children (the 18 year olds who run in this height EVERY DAY is another story). I quite enjoy it, but there's something about the air that keeps making everyone sick. I'm on my third flu in 2 months
every hitman needs something to waste time on. That one guy had a pot plant.
But, on the bright side, winter break will come soon enough.
