Estilo Chileno

At first I did not know what to expect from Santiago. I knew it was a modern city, and sure enough I have seen a professional style in many parts. I have gone to the beach and sure enough there is a surfer style and culture there. I was even ready for lots of 80s music as Latin America seems to love it still, and sure enough it is popular. What surprised me in the city is the large punk rock style. There are kids, and adults, all over modifying their school uniforms and cutting great mullets and mohawks into their hair to be as punk as possible. Piercings and tattoos are popular too. Call me old fashioned, but I never thought I would be the one telling kids to pull their pants up or to quit piercing their faces in strange places. At least the younger kids at school have not gotten into this yet, but they are already asking me what I think of it...
