Keukenhof: Tulip Wonderland of the Netherlands

I almost did not consider my trip to Keukenhof, the famous tulip gardens of the Netherlands, to be entirely worth it simply because of the wake up time. My friend and I were up at 7:30 am, stumbling around making a quick breakfast before taking an Uber to Europaplein to catch the bus by 8am. On a Saturday morning, no less. It was a sleepy forty minute bus ride down to Lisse, during which we mostly talked to keep ourselves awake and gazed at the misty morning countryside. Amsterdam rapidly gave way to towns and farms, then to large flat fields.

Meeting Local People Attending university courses is one the best way to meet Chilean students. Being part of a university community in Santiago will open doors for you to experience academic culture in Chile and participate in activities outside of classes. Life at Chilean universities is very lively. Students spend hours at the university before and after their classes in cafés, libraries, parks, and campus facilities. They study, meet for group projects, play sports, and spend time with friends. A major difference with the United States is that Chilean students live at home and not in dorms...
Santiago’s public transportation system is very user friendly, clean, and safe. There are peak hours that you will need to consider in order to arrive promptly to your destination. As in any large city, public transportation is used massively, so be aware that you will be travelling in crowded buses/trains at times. Santiago's public transportation is considered relatively expensive when compared to the rest of Latin America, so you will need to consider this in your budget in order to not be surprised when you arrive. You will use a BIP card to travel on public transportation while in...
