Real Life Captured #115: Santial Chile! Part Four (10 Photos with Travel Pro Captions!)

in #travel6 years ago

Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After eleven years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, and way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

In this Santiago Chile Series we are going to get a good idea of what's doin'! Santiago is unlike any city I've ever been to. Heck, it has what's been described as a "sandwich culture". The people are a mix of different indigenous tribes and Spanish genetics.

They have there own Chilean way of speaking Spanish. They have some of the best wine in the world. They have a pretty healthy economy too. In some parts of the city we feel like were are in highly organized first world country and in other parts we feel like we are in a back alley third world slum with endless graffiti and shady characters lurking around.

Santiago is a pretty unique and diverse place. They have a huge business district hosting the tallest building in south America with 64 floors! Just a short walk from the business area you can find people selling pot brownies among many things while hanging out in front of the art museum! Now come along and let's check this place out!

This guy spins fire each night when the street light turns red. He then walks down the row of cars collecting tips. This is just around the corner from where my apartment was (airbnb). I saw him on several occasions during my stay.

Photos of the city from the top of Castile Hildalgo, looking out upon the city.

This guy was scrapping the paint off the wall for new coat to likely be freshly graffitied latter that week!

Here we have some chicken sticks at a market that I stumbled across while exploring a random neighborhood in the city.

Here a view of the market. It was colorful with a great mix of fresh meat, produce, fruit, and clothing!

I love how these onions have the stem still coming off of them. It really gives it that just harvested look, and not that commercial look you often see in supermarkets around the world.

Looks like you could feed and army with these pumpkins!

With over 11 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!

You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence:

They have there own Chilean way of speaking Spanish.
It should be their own instead of there own.

I think you have done a great job capturing the diversity of Santiago Chile. Rich, poor and everything in between!

Thank you Cici! So glad you enjoy my work :)
