Runaway Fish / Peces Fugitivos
I hope these little fellows remain alive when students come back in March.According to my friend Jaime, fish do not live long in San Joaquin Campus' pond because they are used to commit suicidade jumping off the pond. It's true, he said, because he saw one fish did that once, a few months ago
Espero que estos amiguitos aun vivan cuando los estudiantes vuelvan en marzo, ya que acuerdo a mi amigo Jaime, los peces no duran mucho tiempo en las fuentes ornamentales del Campus San Joaquin porque acostumbran a suicidarse saltando fuera del agua. Es verdad, él dijo, ya que vio a un pez hacieno eso una vez hace un par de meses.

Outdoor Museum/Museo al Aire Libre
This is not an standard museum. In fact, these graffities are not supported by any authority or private sponsor. Because of that, these artistic perfomances may dissapear in any moment. In the mean time, we can observ their fantastic shapes and colours while we are walking from Campus San Joaquin to Pedreros Underground Station.
Este no es un museo tradicional. De hecho, estos grafities no estan patrocinados ni por las autoridades ni por los privados, Por eso, estas manisfestaciones artisticas pueden desaparecer en cualquier momento. Mientras tanto, podemos observar sus fantasticas formas y colores mientras caminamos desde Campus San Joaquin hasta la estacionde metro Pedreros.

Haunted House/ Casa Embrujada
It is supposed to be The Children's Museum located in Quinta Normal Park. However, this house is evidently neglected and untidy. In fact, this place is inhabited only by homeless individuals and ghosts.
Se supone que es el Museo Infantil ubicado en el parque de Quinta Normal. Sin Embargo, el descuida y la suciedad de esta casa es evidente. De hecho, este lugar esta habitadao solamente por vagabundos y fantasmas,

Mapurbe
What does Mapurbe mean?.. It is a mixture between mapuche and urbe (city). The mapuche descendants that live in chilean cities are called mapurbes. Although, I am not sure if that nomenclature is applied only to practising mapuche people, secular mapuche people or both. (The shadow is mine by the way)
¿Qué significa Mapusrbe?.. Es la union entre mapuche y ciudad. Los mapuches que viven en las ciudades chilesnas son llamados mapurbes. Aunque no estoy segura si esa nomenclatura se aplica solo a los mapuches practicantes, nominales o ambos. ( La sombra es mia, por si acaso)

Italia Square / Plaza Italia
Santiago was founded in 1541 by Pedro de Valdivia due to Mapocho Valley political and natural advantages. (http://www.educarchile.cl/Portal.Base/Web/VerContenido.aspx?ID=130138)
However, Valdivia never imagined that 469 years after its foundation, this city would have expanded itself and created its own borderlines and codes. By example, Italia square has become the sociological frontier among santiaguinos. Your live will be completely different if you live up to Italia Square or down Italia Squareas consequence this situation marks the place you live, your social class, the friends you have and the opportunities you may obtain within the closed and classist chilean society.
/ Santiago fue fundada en 1541 por Pedro de Valdivia debido a las ventajas politicas y geográficas del Valle del Mapocho. Sin embargo, Valdivida nunca pensó que 469 años despues , esta ciudad se expandiría y crearía sus propias fronteras y codigos. Por ejemplo, Plaza Italia se ha convertido en una frontera sociologica frontera entre los santiaguinos. Tu vida será completamente diferente si vives de Plaza Italia para arriba o para abajo.Como consecuencia, este lugar marca el lugar donde vives, tu clase social, los amigos que tienes y las oportunidades que obtendras al interior de la cerrada y clasista sociedad chilena/
Ps: its real name is Baquedano Square but Everybody knows it as Itallia Square / Su nombre real es Plaza Baquedano no Italia, pero toso la conocen por ese nombre.

Gorbea Primary School,1945 Class
Although this is not a picture from Santiago or any place near this big city, the main character of this is my grandfather, who is one of the children portraited here. To begin with, this school was founded by anglican missionaries during the first half of the 20th.Century. During these hard days, mapuche children had very few opportunities to attend or finish primary school. Because of that, it is touching the immaculate poverty an of these children. Finally, I hope you notice how proud these childre are, despite that some of them are barefoot and have rag clothes instead of school uniforms.

Former Saint Joseph Hospital, Independencia, Santiago
This one of the most creepiest places in Santiago. This ancient Hospital has been recycled into a cultural centre- a place where people perfom plays, paints and write poetry. However, this XIX Century hospital is the setting of certain distubing phenoma since thousand of lives were lost here. Although, these patients
built grottoes and altars to honor Our Lady From Lourdes in order to win an extra day of living or a place in heaven, it seems that not all of them had achieved that aim. Ghosts walk inside this place 24 hours per day.
