Encuestas

The group projects in Chile are much harder and in depth than the their US counterparts. My group of three from the class "Infraestructura y servicios de la metrópolis" has 2 months to a) survey 400-500 at Mall Plaza Sur, which is 2 hours in public transport from my house, b) compile the data in excel and c) write a report about it.

I have never surveyed strangers before in my life, let alone in a second language. Sería feliz nunca hacerlo más, but we have only finished about a quarter of the encuestas. I hate it when people want to survey me, so I hate bothering other people by asking them. Also, the survey shouldn't have the category "nombre" on it if it's not necessary. It just scares people, as if being a random foreigner approaching people was not enough.

In total, this was the "cost" of my viaje:
Ida y vuelta:1220 pesos ($3.50) and 5 hours
Permanencia allá: 2 hours

P.S. I should mention that we got kicked out the mall by security because we didn't have authorization to survey there.
