honestly, santiago is kinda cool but also super weird

yo, first off - peep this map so you know where i'm at:

alright, let's dive into this santiago trip. brace yourself for some serious ~vibes~ my fellow budget students.

so, *weather check* (you know i gotchu): it's a crisp 24.07°C out here, but feels more like 23.39°C. pretty fresh if you ask me, especially with that 33% humidity. oh and pro-tip for my fellow broke students: pack a windbreaker 'cause it gets surprisingly windy here. you've been warned.

now, if you're craving some new views (and let's be real, who isn't?), valparaíso and viña del mar are a short-ish bus ride away. just don't expect anything too mind-blowing, okay?

overheard at the hostel: "apparently the museo de la memoria is a must-see, but like, prepare for some heavy vibes. it's all about the dictatorship era. yikes."

before i peace out, here's a couple spots i stumbled upon that are worth checking out: - mercado central: legit seafood, slightly sketchy vibes - cerro san cristóbal: if you're into hiking and nice views, go for it. just watch out for pickpockets. - barrio bellavista: it's where all the cool kids hang, lots of street art and bars. anyway, that's my messy take on santiago. it's a vibe, but like, a weird one. proceed with caution and an open mind, my friends.
