Bus systems great, metro fast and easy, all museums free on Sundays, free live music ranting about the political struggle of Pinochet, political student involvement, barrio londres/paris y barrio bellas artes, great restaurants y vino, happy hour till 23:00 (2x1), political demonstrations in Plaza de Armas, the view of the Andes with snow on them from pretty much anywhere in the city...... FABULOUS!
However, I could have done without all of the Teen-age Make-out sessions in the metro full of people and getting ripped off in restaurants (make sure to check-out your bill before paying).
It is really great to see that young people in Chile, Santiago in particular, have such a political involvement and the affects from the Pinochet era that the Chileanos are dealing with. Most public speeches, music, and student efforts are in regards to a political movement. It is really inspiring to be a witness to that.
