Santiago, the city where I live at now

Bloggers:
Hi, it's me again, and I have to speak about this terrible city  (I miss my town :C )
Santiago is the capital of Chile, and this city  concentrates most of the country's population, about seven of the seventeen million of residents. Due to the Free Trade Agreement (TLC) that the government has done with other countries, Chile has been able to import several articles of different places, and has increased the area of trade. This area mostly concentrates in the center of the city, known as 'Santiago Centro', but also in 'Estación Central'. People of all regions comes to Santiago, with suitcase to buy things for their business or home, because here is cheaper than their provinces. That's the only thing I like of Santiago, the center by the diversity and quantity of articles we can find here in a lowest price.
                                                      Picture about 'Estación Central':
 
 There are many things I dislike about Santiago, for example, public transport, because is always full, users do not care, destroyed in acts of vandalism, drivers are stressed. The streets are in disrepair, when it rains, they becomes to rivers and the people can't cross the street. There are not enough green spaces, influencing the lower water absorption and emission of oxygen. The pollution is terrible, the air is not pure, you only can see the mountain after rain, you can't see it the rest of the year,  in winter and autumn there are many environmental alerts and emergencies, and we can't play sports or make others exercises. The people don't recycle, don't respect others, it's a noisy city, etc, etc, etc.. 

 I think the changes start at home, it depends on our family and surroundings, and how we respond to this. The people would recycle the things they don't use, or give them to organizations that can do amazing things and give them a new use. We need be more patient and respectful, we must take care of public things, like buses, subways, streets, bus stops, hospitals, etc., because these serves us all. These simple things make the difference and can lead us to have a better coexistence.

 If a visitor asks me for some tips, the first thing I would say: take care about your belonging, and always watch, because there are many thieves,  and then, I would say: go to Santa Lucia Hill or Huelen, because it has a large and interesting history.  You can also go to San Cristobal Hill, because it has many things inside and around that you could visit; the Nacional Library by the architecture; and the Central Station, to buy a ticket in a train and go out of Santiago jajaja

I think this country has wonderful places to show that is not in Santiago, so if you want to come here, don't do it, is very full :C the south is amazing :3 (the people says the north too, but I prefer green places and the cold).

  These pictures are about Valdivia, I think this is an amazing place (more beatiful than Santiago).
Regards guys, have a nice weekend.
