Impressions of Chile

- a bit more americanized/europized than Argentina.
- cleaner
- by the sea there is actually cold breeze...
- buses are more modern.
- not that friendly atmosphere as in Argentina... of course we met some very nice people in Chile.
- a lot of coins... 10 000 chilean pesos are 150 SEK, then you can imagine how many coins they have since they have a "one peso" coin... madness.
- PISCO SOUR!! Delicious drink!
- a very nice picant tomatoe-salsa served to bread before dinner.
- no actual trends... that I have noticed. The "hockey-hairdue" is long gone...
- they like paper-work... it took us 2 hours to cross the border to Chile, and we filled in 3 different notes that needed stamps from two different cues. When we got to the bank to get money, they filled in a lot of papers... and then we needed to go to another cue to get all those papers stamped several times.
- they have plastic-stands on the streets... they actually plast stuff... books, cards... etc.
- natural juices!! Oh man... they are so good made from the freshest fruit... mix chirimoya and raspberry and you have like a desert... slurp.

a few days left in Chile to find out more stuff....
