About My Chile Blog

I started this blog for my International Communication class at Flagler College. The posts consist of an array of different things about Chile, like pictures, facts, culture, customs, communication and even a YouTube video from an interview I had with Chile immigrant, Rodrigo Rojas.

The Flag


It's always important to know a little bit about the flag of a country you are interested in. The white of the flag represents the snow of the Andes, the red represents the blood of patriots who fought for independence, the blue represents the blue of the skies and the five pointed single star is the emphasise the fact that Chile is an Unitarian republic as opposed to a Federal republic.

Chile Fast Facts

Chile is a long coastal strip in South America between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It shares borders with Argentina to the east, Bolivia to the northeast and Peru to the north. It has a population of 15,823,957. The capital is Santiago and Chile is the longest country in the world stretching over 4,200km.

The most important information for you bloggers and myself to know, if you in fact take anything away from my fast facts is that there are 3,575,000 internet users in Chile. Hopefully, those internet users and other internet/blogger junkies will find this blog educational, helpful, accurate and at times amusing.
