Abstract

TI’m the new girl in town. Not like anyone notices in a city the size of Santiago, but for me everything is new. And with new comes different! Before moving to Santiago in August I had only been to Chile once and for three short weeks as a tourist. Everything is easy and enjoyable when you’re on vacation! Then I moved here and now I find myself living in a maze of people, cars and buildings trying not to get lost, suffocate during rush hour pollution and make friends along the way.
