There are a few simple examples of everyday life that make me realize I am far from home. I can confirm that the toilet does in fact flush counter-clockwise down here, Frosted Flakes are called Zucaritas, I felt my first earthquake, and when I blow my nose you can see pollution in the tissue. 
More than just my own experience of being in a new place, Santiago has a lot of variation itself. This big city has it all, and I get to see the contrasts everyday. I live in a house built in the 20´s, work in a big modern office in the city, and then go to a school on the edge of town where there are more auto repair shops than I ever thought necessary for one area.
