This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

24 Hours in Santiago Recs by Keough20

I'm studying abroad in Santiago, Chile this next semester, and because of the way the flight schedule worked out for me, I have 24 hours between the time I land and the time I have to be back at the airport (8 A.M. Saturday to 8 A.M. Sunday) to meet up with the other students and drive to the middle of nowhere for a pre-immersion program. I'm looking for an option for a place to stay by the airport and potential things to do that day assuming I don't just sleep the entire day.

Although I'd say that my lodging would have to be near the airport itself, I'm open to food and casual activity options that are convenient to the Metro and closer to the city center or other areas. Because I'll be living in the area for four months (Las Condes), I'm definitely not trying to check any boxes of touristy things to do, but just have a relaxing 24 hours and hopefully take advantage of my extra day in the city. Any and all recs would be greatly appreciated.
