Santiago Stuff, (no se, algunas cosas que me parecen interesantes)

Breakfast is usually prepared every morning before I wake up. It's a good deal.
Here is a picture of the usual spread.
Granola + Te con leche o cafe. This day was special as our host mom made us banana bread. She used the recipe from my gringa roommates, but added tea. Final product was delicious.

I like this picture. Everyday, the workers for this chain of pharmacies has been striking for better wages/benefits. Most just blow whistles, chant or wave banners. This branch near Tobalaba had a stereo so the workers could swing/salsa/tango.

Torre Gran Costanera Center under construction.
This will be the largest building in South America upon completion. It will also be surrounded by three smaller sky scrapers to complete, the Costanera Center. The building will reach 300 meters in height or, 984 feet.
It is also funny because the new financial/services business district in Santiago is in a neighborhood called 'El Golf". This is east of the old financial district and the original downtown area. The new business area is rarely referred to though as 'El Golf', santiaguinos prefer to call it 'Sanhattan'.
