From a German point of view, the country and its people are absolutely warm, cheerful and wonderfully chaotic. In my first week I was invited to spend a weekend with a Chilean family and from then on I was immediately considered an official family member. Making friends among Chileans is easy and even if you ask for help, they will do everything…

Life: I found the climate in Santiago very pleasant. It hardly ever rains, the sun always shines, but it’s never uncomfortably hot, as one might associate with South America. In winter, however, it can get very cold at night and the houses in Santiago are hardly insulated against it and usually have no heating, so I always slept with 4 blankets in winter, although I am very cold-resistant. But the time when it was so cold is over quickly. By…
