Atacama vs Santiago

Today i’m going to write about the lifestyle of “santiaguinos” and the differences with the city where I was born.

As you know I was born in Vallenar, in the third region of Chile and now a live in Santiago, because here is the career and the university where I study.

When I arrived to Santiago I realized immediately the change in the lifestyle, the lifestyle “santiaguino” I so different to lifestyle “vallenarino”.

First I saw de difference in the means of transport, Vallenar has bus and colectivos and pay both of them in cash, instead of this Santiago has bus, taxi, colectivos and subway and the most frequented are bus and subway, and the pay form is with a card that you need recharge for travel.

Other thing is the activities that has in Santiago like the theater, cinema, parks, zoo, museums, hills (Santa Lucía and San Cristóbal) among others.

Besides the clim is different here, Vallenar is very hot almost all the year, whereas Santiago is very hot in summer but in winter is too much colder than in Vallenar, for this I’m still familiarize whit winter “santiaguino”
