Please take your seat...

That's right, just go ahead and sit down, buckle up, well anyways I'm sure you would if it was at all an option.

But really, sit down, enjoy the ride. It might be a longer one. One of those rides that takes you to places maybe you didn't even know were there to go to. Or maybe it takes you to somewhere that used to be familiar but now is just a reminder of things that used to transpire in this city.

Whatever it is that you crave in commuting entertainment, it's there for you, waiting for you to come aboard.

No matter where you go, those micros will trail about somewhere near, that is as long as you are in Santiago...They can really be awful sometimes, especially in the morning when everyone has somewhere to go, the streets fill up with ungodly numbers of cars, all hammering in the same direction...

Sometimes that micro will just be enough to constitute "doing something", that you will get somewhere new and possibly unimaginable. So at the end of the day at least some bit of progress has been made. That curiously lone seat on the micro can help you explore mundane intersections, followed by strange spaces under bridges that are filled with graffiti, hopeless souls pass by routinely, the experience exposes unfriendly feelings, exposes you to unfamiliar faces, leaves you on intersections of unknown streets, filled with helpless beggars, smooth musicians that invoke chords which make the screech of bad brakes sound beautiful, unlucky gamblers try to convince you how some how they deserve 100 pesos, right after someone tries to sell you a band aid...But that's what made the seat worth taking to begin with...
