Santiago De Chile







Spent the week before last in Chile´s sprawling capital, Santiago. It being the depths of winter, it was super cold and rained moreorless everyday.



The city was one of contrast: the dirt poor slums around the airport and the deceptively small and modern central district are just two extremes of Chile´s capital. Huge, shiny skyscrapers tower over slums and many different styles of building hint at the country´s turbulent and chequered past.



I was happy to be there, unfortunately it got dark at 6 every night so after classroom workshops there wasm´t much time to see the metropolis by light..The wine is super good and super cheap, about 50p for a very very big bottle....:)
