Sanhattan



Santiago is divided into areas, or barrios, and we live in Los Condes, the financial and business center of Santiago. Also this is a very affluent condo area. It's been nicknamed "Sanhattan", as in Santiago's version of Manhattan. Here is a poor picture of just one part of a main street with all of the office buildings. The business people here all look the same- dark business attire, for women, high heeled boots, and winter scarves around their necks. They also wear very nice wool coats. They all walk very fast, and many are on cell phones. I do not know how the women wear those high heeled boots, as the pavement here, in places, is very uneven, but they do. Come to think of it, they always have scowls on their faces. I guess now I know why.
