What to do / where to go in Santiago

hi! would you like to visit Santiago? I believe that if you would have the oportunity of visit this city you cannot waste it! You should visit the San Cristobal´hill, in this there are a fantastic zoo "zoologico metropolitano" and also you can enjoy the cablecar and see a panoramic view of Santiago... if you don´t like to walk, you can use the "funicular". Other fantastic place to visit is "Parque O´Higgins" because there you can share in family, boating in a small lagoon, ride in bike, ride in horses. If you are more extreme and adventurer.. you should go to "Cajón del Maipo" and practice rafting and bungee, and take a rest. In the center of Santiago there are a lot of mall with restorants, cinema, bowling, ice skating. Also you should to visit three very importants museums: the Pablo Neruda´s house "La Chascona". Pablo Neruda is a fantastic chilean writer, and his big house now is a famous museum full of history and mistery. Also "museo interactivo mirador MIM" a place where science and technology are the most important... you can interact with the differents things that the museum offer you. And the last importante museum is "Museo de Bellas artes" where you can see the wonder of the chilena art.
I recommend you eat chilean food in typical restorants like "La Piojera", you can not leave Santiago if you don´t eat a delicius "empanada"and a big plate of "porotos". An important place to visit is "La Moneda".. the government´house where there is a pool where you can throw coins and ask a wish.
I recommend you definitely visit Santiago because is a big place to meet

the rol of music

Music is very important for me because It reflects each moment of my life. When I´m sad, or when I ´m happy .. always there is a song that tells exactly my situation. I hear all kind of music... I ´m not the type of people that choose a style and believe that only this style is cool.... I hear pop, rock, clasic music, folklore, retro, reggeton, latin music, etc. I get my music from my computer or from a music store like "Feria del Disco"... when I was a little girl I followed groups like Spice girls, backstreets boys etc, but now I preffer artist like Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, etc.

When i´m studing i don´t hear music because it defocused me. When I´m happy hear happy music and when I´m sad hear sad music... because reflect my mood.

Transantiago


Hi friends! Today I´m going to speak about transantiago... In my case transantiago give me a lot of beneffits because when the yellow bus exited I had to walk very far to take a bus... but now with transantiago the bus stop is a few steps. In the start and now is the same situation... the only change has been the passage cost... in the past it was cheaper.
Transantiago have a lot of beneffits, for example the buses are cleaner than the pre-transantiago and also with the new buses there is a menor degree of contamination.... The sistem of BIP card is very practice because you can charge one day for all week, and also the way of pay is faster.
The worse is that for somebody the new covers are different, so the new bus stops are far to them.

Some changes that I would apply will be do new covers in the outskirts and also I would make it cheaper giving beneffits to students and free pass for elderly.
In general transantiago was hated at first moment, bust actually the people is used. There are a lot of positive things about transantiago and we have to recue them, because finally every change is for something better.
