HI,

I will be in Santiago Chile, Mid Feb-Mar 2.

I want to meet somehow who lives there to get an idea about my making plans to retire there.聽 Strongly considering taking the Telf.I-to-I English course for credential and getting a job there along with my USA retirement.聽 if Anyone is around to meet for lunch on me well, I have questions to ask.聽 would be great meeting up with someone there.聽 Will travel after Santiago --a bit.

Enjoy sea sides, and snapshot of the coastlines !!

Well, dates have changed, in Santiago Feb 24 for 5 days. off exploring after that for 2 weeks.

Have not gotten much input on this site, maybe just don't know how to use it well, yet.

Hola,
Thank you for responding. I got the impression that the cost of living was a high as most good size cities in the USA.
I am considering teaching there, and I understand to rent an appartment, one needs a RUT identification, correct?

What is good to see in Santiago? I did a city and hill top tour the last time plus a Chilean entertainment event one evening, otherwise took picture of the area.

Is it true that Chileans do not want to have their pictures taken?聽 I noticed this in my photos when I put them on my computer and really looked at them someone in most pictures were displeased with my taking pictures.聽

I work with a Chilean Refugee, and she told me that folks there don't like pictures of them because of the police state issues in the distant past....聽聽She may be giving me a slanted picture which I think mostly she does.

what to visit. I am considering teaching english there in a year, and later will have to meet educators to interview for positions, and make contact to rent a room, since I will not have a RUT identification right away.聽聽Anyway a bunch of thoughts here....

Coatal_Lover聽 /聽 CL_Coastal聽聽 me.
