It became a bit of a running joke to me that whenever I would go to Santiago, regardless of the barrio, someone would always tell me “Be careful, it’s really dangerous there”. In spite of all this, I never felt in danger, but keeping your head on a swivel is always the smartest thing to do. I was gonna end that sentence with “while traveling” but, well, this is the world we live in. Glad to hear you are enjoying Zambra!
Right? It's easy to chalk it up to wealthy people looking down on the poor or people from the coast biased against the city when you're riding one of the best metro systems in the Americas, but there are Reddit threads for virtually every city about what to avoid, where to go, when not to go, what you should and shouldn't bring with you, etc. I'm inclined to think that many of the rules don't apply to me since I don't drink or do drugs and I'm not out late at night. How much trouble can I get into going to bookstores, coffee shops, and museums? Well, it depends...
I was there but it was too packed I didn’t see any of the speakers but at least I picked up the book and bumped into Keith again.
Oh no way! I got there early so I could snag a seat. The room was too small!
