Santiago de Chile

After a nice flight over the Andes I touched down in Santiago. After really smoothly getting on top of things I was ready to explore this often overseen city. Stunned by how advanced the infrastructure was and how sophisticated people were, I felt like in an european city. The main difference is that young people are mostly extreme left - meaning the streets are full of punks and alternative teenagers. But there is also an upper class that likes to sit in italian style coffee places and eat sushi with some coffee. That exacltly what I have done. I checked out some of the museums and the houses of goverment. Most santiageños are white and wear more ties than people in Switzerland. There were not a lot of turists and so it was difficult to meet people. I consider it a brief visit to Europe.
