I feel fine about Chile. I mean, I've lived all my life here, and never left the country for whatever reason (althought if I had the opportunity, I'd travel somewhere else, but I'd come back), and for some reason, I feel comfortable. The only thing that bothers me at this time, is the importance people give to the World Cup. Its alright if you like football, but at the point of destroying public transportation and looting places? Come on!
The attendance people show to their cellphones always irritates me too, but I think that happens in every country.
I like my friends. But that doesn't mean every person on the country is friendly; but I like friendly people in Chile (and, in general) , specially my friends. I like the neighborhoods; places with lots of houses and often lots of short passagges where its easy to get lost. I like where I live because its near a hill. Ilike the beach. Ilike the forests. I like the street market. I like sopaipillas.And I think that is everything I like from this country.
What I don't like are: angry fat ladies in the public transprtation, schools, city convergence, large distance between cities, mongrels in the streets and people doing nothing about it (including me), ultra high prices, local football teams, local football fans, sink water (at least in the city), celebrity shows, streets with holes, and a lot more things I can't remember.
I would definitely change public transportation and make buses's frequency faster and fare prices lower, though I don't know how I could.
I don't know if I have to trust the news when they say others countries think Chile is good at sports, or a "tough rival". I just think they are overstating themselves, just for having more confidence. Anyway, I've heard a couple of times other contries think Chile is a "poet's country".
Like I said before, I like where I live, and I rarely imagine myself living in another part of the country, but my home. I think I'm just too homesick, or I just don't know much more places.
That's all guys!
Bye!!
