Drama in the streets!

I assigned the MGLM students to go somewhere in Santiago to observe for 20 minutes. One group went to the subway to go to a sandwich shop fairly close to here. Upon exiting the subway, they walked into a student riot (while wearing Friends University gear by the way) near the presidential palace. They conducted their observation and got out of there without any problems. It is a common occurrence, so there was no danger. Santiago is a very safe city, but considering that and the students involved from Friends, we all had a good laugh at this glimpse of Chilean reality.
