Torist map, Santiago

Santiago is the capital of Chile located in the center of this country, this is a city with tradition and history but also a city very interesting and funny because have a lot of place where you can past a good time.
If you ask me What places should a foreign visit in Santiago? or What things should a foreigner do? , I think in a lot of funny ideas.
If you want know and understand the chilean traditions and culture, you have to go to Mercado Central because in this place you can find the tipical dishes how seafood and shellfish, after you can catch a taxi and go to San Cristóbal Hill, where you can find a lot of things how the Metropolitan Zoo, go up to “the Virgin” and others, also you can to go to La Moneda, the goverment palace and the workplace of the president, also this is a place with much history. You can walk for the center until arrive to Plaza de Armas, in this you can see a lot of old but beautiful buildings how the catedral and the Post office, places with much tradition.
If you like the sports and the beautiful landscreens you can visit the different sky center how Farellones, Valle nevado, El colorado and Lagunilla. If you go to Lagunilla I recommend that you stay a time in Cajon del Maipú where you can enjoy a beautiful landscreen.
If you like the parties and the night life I recommend that you go to Bellavista where you can find theaters, pubs, restorants and discos, also you can visit Suecia and Plaza San Enrique.
If you like shopping you can visit Parque Arauco where you can buy differents in differents stores, also You can past a very good time in the Boulevard playing bowling or seeing movies.

Transantiago...

The Transantiago is the new locomation system that the goverment has implemented in last years, this has brought sorrows and happiness to chileans. I think that transantiago is a very good idea but was bad implemented, because the politician didnt do a good previous study realationatioship with the bus frecuency, the size of the streets, the time of wait, the trajectory, distance between the differents points and the bus stops. But with the time this point has been evolving.
In the past I didn't like Transantiago for a lot of reassons:
When transantiago started was a disaster becuase the bus was very slow and frecuency was very bad, for example people wait arround 30 minutes in bus stop to get bus. Also the people wasnt very informed. Other problem was that the free space was very little, and people felt tight and very angry now this happen only in peack times.
Now I like transantiago and I think that Transantiago is better than old system(yellow bus), because you can travel more distance with less money and time... Also you pay with Bip Card.
For this reasons I think that I dont change much things beacuse the system is great and the olds problems were solutionate...
I hope that you like my opinion about Transantiago and you have the same opinion...
see you later parteners, good bye....
