You get a sticker on your window to show you participated and that they do not need to visit you again.

Well, I am officially a part of the Chilean population. That's right. I participated in the Chilean Census this past week. I knew it was coming because I had seen a few ads for it. I asked my friends if as a foreigner I should participate and they agreed that I should since it is just a survey to see who lives in this country and they like to know how many foreigners there are. So, when I saw the lady in my condominium the other day I got ready. She came in the house and had a form that she asked me questions from and filled it out as we went along. It was fairly easy; mostly stuff about my living situation (how many people, do I have internet, do I recycle, how do I heat my house, etc.). There really will be no record that it is me specifically because she did not ask for my ID number or my last name but there is a Deanna in Chilean records now. Hooray!
