3 million people use the subway every day - wear a good deodorant! At peek times its a real squash - and so hot!
Go with the flow of people in the subway - don´t even think about changing direction!
Don´t worry about having holey socks - you never take your shoes off in the house!
Don´t wear shorts - you will be the only one and stand like a sore thumb! Chilean people are generally dress very nicely!
Come here if you are a carb addict - sandwiches are the standard diet!
Accept the hospitality - they love to spoil you! (hard for me)
Buy earplugs for sleeping - noise constantly wherever you are! The population of NZ in one city - gotta be hard to find a really peaceful place! (Maybe Bethel is the only place).
Don´t try and learn spanish from Chilean people-they talk way too fast and they acknowledge it is a problem. The bookstudy conductor hardly took a breath! (Told him he had to go on the ministry school to learn to slow down)
It feels quite safe here - but we are told hold on tight to your bags! Don´t wear jewelley in public either.
Don´t go with the flow when you want to cross the road- chileans take their lives in their hands every day at pedestrian crossings-the cars just whizz past them.

Sounds like you shouldn't take your bags on the subway! And Mum says you shouldn't have too much gold jewelry on when you are on the subway.
When do you leave Santiago?
You haven't told us about the weather but I gather since wearing shorts is a no no Mark must have tried it -yes?
You will so not be enjoying the noisy sleepers around the place.
