Of course the smog still remains.<br /><br />I think Chile is generally a lot nicer above Plaza Italia but of course that is where the rich people live. So, overall Santiago is still pretty bad for checking out authentic Chilean things.<br /><br />And there is nothing more horrendous than getting of a bus from Argentina in Santiago. Since in Argentina they give tips to the guys who help you with your bags the bus is swarmed by people yelling tip (whether or not they help you with your bag).<br /><br />It should also be noted that all Chileans who are not from Santiago hate it.Real Chilehttp://www.realchile.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-14119257223671070442010-11-26T01:12:23.371-03:002010-11-26T01:12:23.371-03:00"Chileans who had clearly been trained in the..."Chileans who had clearly been trained in the art of social niceties by a pack of rabid chimpanzees (this was, and sometimes still is, my view of how Chileans act in public)."<br /><br />Ha.

While looking for info I stumblead across your blog. Very interesting to read, and very "expaty": which is a language I speak very well having left my home country (Italy) four years ago.<br />I was wondering if you have any tips to share about how to find accomodation there, a room or an apartment will do just fine as long as there's interenet connection!<br />Thanks for your attention and best wishes!<br />FabioFabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459907057320552418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-9005547678320667692010-11-05T06:55:20.466-03:002010-11-05T06:55:20.466-03:00I am very enthusiastic about Chile.

My guy and I enjoy going into the city for a night or 2 and exploring the environs. We had wondered why it had such a bad rap. Well, now I know.

Chileans always tells me that Chile (especially Santiago) 10 or even 5 years ago was nothing like it is now and it is continuing to change and develop at a rapid pace but I haven't had the chance to experience these changes first hand since this is my first official time living here. Hopefully the city continues to change for the better :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
