I've been here, in santiago, for 2 weeks with my wife and 2 kids. We came to hopefully stay but the more I talk with family members and people I know the more I want to go back to NY. Just about every person I ask they themselves have been victim of a robbery or know people who have been victimized. Every time I go into a store I see people stare at me funny; I've always wondered why, but now I see that they are probably thinking I'm a asaltante. Stories I've heard include purse snatching, armed robbery, home burglary, home invasion. My question is: how do you do it? How do you deal with knowing that your changes of being a victim is so freaking high here. I go out during the day and everytime I see 2 guys on a motorbike I worry and think they are robbers. This happens 5 times per day.
