The city is an adventure to explore on foot or by bicycle particularly around Recoleta, its traditional garden district, and Centro and along Av. Libertador — the city’s principal avenue. All are colonial in style. It’s also getting easier to use public transportation, although the system’s coverage is still limited.
Av. Libertador once was thronged with street merchants pushing their wares, many of them bootleg knockoffs of Levi’s and other brands. But the central government has made Santiago the first city in South America to strictly enforce trademark rights, driving out many of the hawkers.
You can still buy cut-rate goods, but if a deal looks too cheap to be true, it probably is. And always remember, street merchants routinely short polite, well-heeled customers as a matter of course.
Even with the tamer streetscape, Santiago is a great city for wandering. The heart of the city, roughly from Av. Liberator south to Santiago’s main square, Plaza de Armas, is flat, with broad sidewalks and a large number of attractive parks.
Proposed new technology awards would have giant eye staring back at the US for spying on Europe
The US government’s recent spying scandal has prompted proposals to have Chancellor Angela Merkel’s giant eye staring back at the US for spying on Europe.
The American government has been under fire in Europe for allegations that it not issued apologies to European Union (EU) leaders for spying on them as well as on its citizens.
This is believed to be the background that has led to a proposal to ask a German artist to create a sculpture that would symbolize the situation – it would involve embedding a statue of Chancellor Merkel’s face into its outer wall in Berlin.
This plan is headed by Christoph Kucklick, a building supervisor. He has expressed that Germans do not need to place thousands of video cameras in public areas.
Instead, they should be satisfied with a few sole cameras positioned on sensitive sites in public places, largely at government offices, including the Chancellery, the German parliament and the Bundesbank.
In his opinion the current surveillance techniques can be an integral part of airport check-points, but for ordinary citizens like him and everybody else, he expressed that the security cameras in public are just too much.
He believes facial recognition software gives the Chancellery and its friends their power, so he expressed that the sculpture should be given to the authorities as an important message.
The monitoring program with the use of internet and smart phones create a society without privacy. This situation is commonly referred as surveillance overload.
The EU members have expressed criticism for using surveillance technologies to spy on data signals coming from internet users which are difficult to monitor.
One of those countries is Germany.
