Day 3: Valparaiso

This is our first CouchSurfing experience and it’s going really well. We’re staying with a student of photography and a couple in a house up one of the many hills of Valparaiso. They have a magnificent view of the city! We’re learning a ton about Chile and its government, culture, and history. I’ll try to post some popular and traditional music at some point.

Interesting facts:
- The New Year fireworks in Valpo are the biggest in South America (possibly second biggest after Rio de Janeiro).

- Valparaiso had the highest unemployment rate in Chile
