A little history of Chile (dry but interesting)

It is very political here in Santiago too which I have only just touched on.
The effects of people living under a curfew is lingering. Under the curfew 
people had to be home from 10pm until 7am for from 1976 until 1984 and the first 4 years prohibition was enforced
President Pinochet tried to impose socialism on the people by taking land from the rich to give to the poor. People here still protest and not so peacefully
so lots of tagging and street art for freedom of speech. 
Today we fly to Buenos aires so thought it was good to share some political facts before I forget them. Link to more info if you are curious http://www.chocklydigital.com/portfolio/Chile/history.html
