The best and the worst of the Santiago

I am a "city-person". I like the city most than the camp or other place, because the city have all the things that I want. I am used to the city.

I like the multicultural expressions and the history of the city. In every place, you can see different nationalities that do more rich the life in the city: peruvians, colombians, haitians, argentinians, brazilians, bolivians, and other peoples of the friends countries. And the city, specially Santiago, have a history in every place. The national history and the personal history of the chileans across in Santiago. Since the great historys (goverments, politics, social movements), until the little historys (storekeeper, workers, families, students).

I dislike the pollution and the big distances. The pollution (air and acoustic contamination) is a seriously problem of every citizen. This create helth problems (phisycal and psicological problems) and control his is very difficult. The big distances is other problem of Santiago. I live in Maipú, so far of all things. I took almost two hours in arrive to the university. It's terrible. The size of the city is a worrying problem, because is unsustainable in the time. I change this aspects.

For a visitor, I would recommend going to the Santa Lucía hill. Is the most beautiful place of Santiago. Also, I would recommend the Paris/Londres streets and the civic town. The buildings: La Moneda, the national library, the national history museum and the central house of the Universidad de Chile.
