SANTIAGO

I live in Santiago since I started going to the University, four years ago. I lived all my life in Chiloe Island. If you know Chiloe, you probably could imagine the difference between these two cities. At the beginning I liked Santiago, because there are lots of entertainment places, like theaters, cinemas and so on. But through the years I realized that I don’t really like it, I really love to see the blue sky, the sea in front of my house, the trees all over the place, the animals… Now I think Santiago is a very “gray city”, it’s full of buildings, smog and you can’t even look at the stars at night! I think that makes it a gray city and I think people get sad for this, even though they don’t realize that. Or maybe I should talk just for myself, it makes me feel a little sad sometimes… In spite of this, there are some places that I like in Santiago, but I think it’s just because they remind me home, for example, I like “Parque Bustamante” because of the trees and people who are in the park seems to be calm, not so stressful … And as I said, Santiago has a lot of entertainment places that I really appreciate because I love art and in my city there are no many “art places” to visit. But honestly, if a foreigner would ask me what place should visit in Chile, I would recommend south of Chile instead of Santiago.
