Lider: America-Mart

We did it! We finally did it! Hooray America! Years after we tried to prop up a dictatorship to defeat Socialism in Chile, we're finally back on track. We've got a Wal-Mart in Antofagasta! Sweet sweet capitalist consumerism! Happy 4th!

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I come here (Lider, as it's known but it's clearly a Wal-Mart clone) about once a week because it's some of the cheapest prices for wine and... other stuff, I'm sure, in an already needlessly expensive city. Hard to argue with a system that works. And the citizens of Antofagasta come here in droves. Last Monday (a holiday) my host mother and sister went to buy some groceries and the place was PACKED and entirely sold out of eggs. There's an entire aisle in this place for eggs. And they were SOLD OUT. All hail the free market.)
