Life in Santiago is very interesting and chaotic.
Yes you can do anything! (except look at the sea) But exist a lot of places, parks, discoteques, on the other hand, you have hospitals, universities, subway and a bus network (not the most efficient in the world, but at least it reaches many places). to entertaiment you should go to the center of the city or some of the hill existing (it depends what you are looking for)
Santiago's a big city, the major part of people live far away from the center of the city, that means the people need the bus, the subway, cars, or some means of transport in their cotidian life, also the places distant of the center, often be characterised for be a boring places without any other thing, only houses and strip centers, but the center of the city it is so exiting and you have a lot of things to do, parks, museums, and a multicultural enviroment.
In conclusion, Santiago is a big city with many equipment, and you have any thing that you desire, and all relatively near, but you always have the noisy cars, grey streets, and a few landscapes to evade the stressful life generated, many times by the chaotic type of transport, and the time it takes you.
