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?  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. 

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....   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.   Anyway a bunch of thoughts here....
