@BeachMe Santiago wasn't too bad, except some parts, but the outskirts had a bunch of gypsie encampments. And Santiago had a homeless and graffiti problem. Valparaiso was basically a giant slum except like 2 neighborhoods and Viña was full of homelesses and drug users. And yet Chileans think so highly of themselves and their country. Granted, I was there a few years ago, but I don't think much has changed I heard Argentina has gotten bad too. But Patagonia is still nice. Basically the further south you go, the nicer it gets
@KostasKouvalis you’re usually a fan of one or the other. Most people like Barcelona because of coast. I was always a Madrid fan …… still am but it isn’t what it used to be. It’s very westernized. There is a steak and shake and a Starbucks and KFC!!!
@BeachMe I never liked Madrid 'cuz it seemed too modern. Barcelona was too, but maybe not as much, and like you said at it's on the coast and by the mountains, and is hilly. I honestly never wanted to go there. It was a spur of the moment decision, and I mainly just went so I could visit France and Andorra from there

I'd like to see Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina.
I've been always fascinated with the gauchos from Argentina.
Brazil seems like more things to do there but never been to any of them
Peru.. I'm Asian and I heard they have a large Asian demographic there
Chile definitely, especially as a solo female traveler.
If you're gonna do that, go to Patagonia. The rest of Chile is kind of a dump
@KostasKouvalis sad. It didn’t used to be

@KostasKouvalis it’s been more than a few years since I’ve been there but Santiago remainder me of a small Madrid.
@BeachMe Never been to Madrid, but I've been to Barcelona.

People are now gaining weight. The small markets are disappearing and it’s changed a bit. Some of my cafes are gone. 😞😢
