In the US I
had never used public transportation before because I have always had a car. Yes,
I know that makes me sound overpriviledged, but in reality that was never my
intention to look that way. In Chile they have various forms of transportation,
such as the metro, micros, taxis, collectivos, and buses. I honestly became a huge
fan of them, even the micro that almost made me feel like I was going to die
every time I got on it, but still a very fun roller coaster. My love for
exploring cities made me learn to use them. One advantage that I do have in
cities is once I have been somewhere the directions do stick to my brain. So
after a few days in the city I got around quite easily. Do not get me wrong
sometimes I would get lost, but when I did I was never ashamed to ask anyone
for directions. The good thing was that people in Chile are very nice and
willing to help you. I think that as people we are always scared to ask for
help, as for myself I see is part of a learning experience. Overall this trip
has inspired me to try to public transportation in the US. Although I will miss
all the walking I did in Chile, even Mount Doom. It is impossible to get as
much walking a did in Chile hear on campus.
