Internet infrastructure in Chile is very developed. Honestly if not for making calls you can live without getting a sim card. There's literally internet everywhere. From the airport to taxis to trains to buses to restaurants. Just putting up your wifi on any streets brings like 3 free wifi networks and this isn't even the capital city. The capital is Santiago and that's like 7 hours from here. Internet here is also very very fast. Screenshot is from the wifi at the Airbnb I am staying at.

Normally i feel my internet speed is fast, so as
I see dis post i rush check my internet speed

41mbps on 4G using Airtel

You guys keep saying this. But I have lived in Brazil for 2 years before. The crime rate is just too high, that's the reason I had to leave!


Thank God for this! People don't want to accept the truth.

He said Brazil beats any African country. I told him I believe Botswana beats Brazil, that Brazil has high crime and inequality. He stood his ground.

I now said if I was to name any South American country beating any African country, then Chile should be it.

You're checking things the wrong way.

Alternative search "Inflation rate in Chile for the psst 10 years?"

Chile, just like Argentina, has serious inflation problems. When you go to those kinds of countries, you can find it difficult to save and invest so as a foreigner. Remember, these countries have strict tax systems in place as well unlike here . I am not stating what is not already out there, the major problem Chile has is inflation and the value there still does not tell the whole story

Yes! I will doubt him. He keeps saying that Brazil is a very good country. But I will tell you that it's a very big lie!!!! I lived in Brazil for 2 years, the crime rate is very terrible! Does he even know that?? I had to live Brazil for Sweden where I have the quality of life and peace that I now enjoy. If you're migrating to South American country please do your research very very well so you won't regret it. Also I was tired of their Spanish language. If you can't speak Spanish, na you sabi.

The thing with Spanish speakers is that when they see you speaking and they notice it's not your first language they are very forgiving and they tend to use simpler phrases and speak much slower and repeat phrases if need be to get the message across to you. It wasn't that bad. I will say one year is okay.
Spanish and Portuguese are romantic languages. It's not so hard for an English speaker. One can easily pick some words in d conversation like ' comunicado, otomobile, obragado"

Chile does not have an Inflation problem. If inflation rate is currently high, that might be due to the huge fiscal spending by America, the EU, UK and China which caused inflation to spike globally after the Pandemic lock downs to revive economies.


Below are Chile's inflation rates from. 1971 to 2021

This is no big deal. The major economies in the world are either in a recession or are heading into one. It is adversely affecting Chile as its a major exporter of copper and other commodities. Demand would slow for its exports

The case of Chile is big deal, very big deal because they are yet to get back to pre-pandemic levels. Copper is not like oil, they have low utilisation of the copper unlike oil so they are at the mercy of the major economies. Early this year, I watched a documentary on Chile on Aljazeera and it was pathetic in terms of the economy. I am not being pessimistic about the prospect. I just need us to focus on having the right knowledge to save and invest in such a country. That's what I want the OP to note. People realise this too late and get stuck in the rat race and desperation.

Chile isn't a shithole.

It was one of the earliest countries to implement market reforms in the 1970s, even earlier than the UK under Margaret Thatcher.

It is probably the most prosperous country on mainland South America.

My advice for you; Save money and leave Chile, nothing dey that country, unless you want enter street.

Yet Chileans enjoys OPEN access to the US and Canadian labour market and are not even using it Do you know the struggle countries go through to be included in the US Visa Waiver Program? Waiver program o as it does not offer access to the labour market. Only five countries have unfettered access to the US labour market - Mexico, Canada, Chile, Australia and Singapore. For a black person, the US is the only place to earn more money than anywhere else.

I dont think you understand what the no visa policy really means, for example the EU citizens can come and go as they like to the Uk but can they work and do Biz?Might just be fr tourism though. As it stands As a UK citizen I cant just pack up and go to US to work, I got to apply for certain stuff and it takes time B4 I can have the full rights to work there.

These are the demons i talked about!

Show us where Chileans and Brazilians are jumping the fences at Mexico to enter the US?! So Chileans would jump the fence yet enjoy visa free access to the US and its labour market? Brazillans have less than 20% visa refusal rate to the US, YET the same Brazillians are jumping fences into the US? A university-educated Mexican only needs to apply for a TN visa to work in the US, YET Mexicans are jumping fences? Do you know what it means to enjoy visa free access to the US? Do you know what it means to enjoy free access to the US labour market? Only five countries do and Mexico and Chile are among them.

You are confusing Guatemalans, El Salvadorans and Venezuelans for Chileans and Brazilians. A Chilean passport holder HAS unfettered ACCESS TO THE US AND ITS LABOUR MARKET. THIS IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT!

You people are cruel and wicked! Terrible demons! Spits!!!!!

Spaniards relocate to Chile due to Spain's high youth unemployment rate, but Chileans NEVER relocate to Spain. Even Mexicans never relocate to Spain. Only poor Venezuelans do.

I don't know about others, but I recall Tensa20 PM'ing me about his poor grades in university. As you said, he had nothing to his name. Everything he is today is out of sheer hard work, determination and perseverance. He really works very hard and is persistent. He is the epitome of Determination + Perseverance = Success.

I can't wait to see him in the US earning armed robber salaries grin grin grin grin
