Santiago


Hello today I am going to talk about places in Santiago to visit for a foreign tourist.
I think that a foreign tourist have to visit some of the representative buildings of this city like “la moneda” or the old building of the senate this a really nice construction.
If you want to do something more funny I think that the San Cristobal hill it’s the place that you can do a lot of things like walk to the top of the hill and see the virgin or take the “Teleferico” , you have an amazing panoramical view of the city .
Also you can visit the zoo and and learn more about our wildlife.

If you stay in Santiago and is a nice Sunday afternoon you can visit one of my favourite places of my city this is the Forestal park, all Sunday afternoon this park transformate in a street market and you can find every kind of things like a book or a “vinilo”.

if you want to go out in the night you can go to the Bellavista Neighborhood a this special neighborhood in Santiago. Theaters and fine restaurants await the arrival of visitors.

If the foreing tourist want to go to the snow only 50km away from the capital, La Parva ski resort and enjoy the snow as they behold the entire Valley of Santiago.
Visit to the Chilean Pre-Columbian Art Museum this is other alternative to visit and is one of the most important and emblematic museums in the American culture, as far as art is concerned.

Finally I think that Santiago it’s a great place to visit so you can make and do a lot of things and depends of you tastes.

Transantiago, before and after


Hello today I am going to talk about transantiago and I am going to give me opinion about some points of them.
I think that transantiago it`s was a good idea but in chile dont know how to put this system in practice.
In february of 2007 when transantiago star I really happy because Transport Minister said this a friendly system for the environment and Santiago going to have a new face without pollution and the time of travel its would be less. with the time I really disappointed because nothing of this promise was true.

When transantiago start I dont use buses so I dont know much about them , but I travel by subway and when Transantiago collapse subway its tranformate a mess. Every morning close some station because its collapse of people.
This was a bad point because subway its was so quiet and confortable.
And other bad pooint is the price of the public transport, around $500 for travel. A good point its the Fact that I can take a bus all night so I can go to a party and come back to me home in public transport.

Actually me experience with the transantiago sistem it`s really good because I have a lot of alternatives to get to me home. So I can travel by subway or I can travel by bus any of this alternatives its good for me.
If I can make some changes in Transantiago system I Would like make more eco friendly.
This is me opinion about transantiago system.
