Chile Forum

Are you ready for riots, high costs, poor services, high costs, the world's worst spoken Spanish, high costs, the endemic desire of nearly every chileno to cheat and deceive every foreigner, inescapable petty thievery, marginal restaurant eating, recalcitrant banks, abysmal automobile drivers, a superstitious and undereducated proletariat (and sizable lumpen-proletariat), shoddy craftsmanship, legions of loose dogs, excessive noise, limited selection, high degrees of public alcoholism, and high costs of living?

Then welcome to Chile. And welcome to the foro.
Here....have a grape!

OctaviaPaz wrote:Haha. You have no idea how many people I saw each night vomiting on the streets in Korea. It was amazing, and very annoying once I adopted a puppy who tried to eat IT on walks (good times). Kimchi has a very strong smell, but not quite like vomit. But you and I both know that. How was Daegu? I had some friends who taught there, and I thought about some university positions there, but Seoul is the city for me. My recruiter tried to convince me to go to Busan, but I thought that would have been a mistake. I'm glad I chose Seoul over Busan.

Reminds me of a typical evening in Isla Vista when my daughter was going to school at UC Santa Barbara.
