The main language spoken in Chile is Spanish, which is the official language of the country. There are a lot of countries that speak Spanish as their main language in South America, but not always in the same way. People from Chile have their own accent with which they speak Spanish.
The Chilean peso (CLP) is the main form of currency used in Chile. One thing I noticed right away about Chilean money is that their dollars are blue, orange, red, and green, depending on the amount. It makes your wallet look like a rainbow! One-thousand (1,000) Chilean pesos is equal to about one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) in U.S. dollars.
A bottle of water costs 750 Chilean pesos, which is about one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) in U.S. dollars.
My favorite meal from this week was Chorillaña. Chorillaña is a traditional dish that is served in Valparaíso, the specific region of Chile where I am staying. It consists of fried eggs on top of roasted potatoes with meat, vegetables and sauce.
