Gerrard59: Yes, the issue with the last paragraph is that black women do not like left leaning men in romantic relationships, they are stingy and usually opt for 50/50. In my general knowledge (i might be wrong), black women do not like that sharing of bills at all. So they still end up with right leaning men at the end & battle it out. |

tensazangetsu20: Okay, thank you very much. I've been following you for a while and have seen how much genuine info you share, please don't be discouraged by these unrepentant cornmen. Some of us still need privileged info as we're still working behind the scenes to leave here for good. |

Bokeeto: Just be patient and work hard. There's a lot of great countries aside the popular destinations and even if you don't like where you go, it's easier moving to your dream countries from there than from Nigeria. So long as you have good skills and you are well educated, you won't suffer in any merit based society. 7 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: checked your profile and saw this thread after my comment on the japa thread , dint even know you had a chile thread , interesting Was in Chile twice last year , both on short visits . Enjoy your stay . Loved the food |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by tensazangetsu20(m): 3:12am On Dec 14, 2023 |
rmx: You loved the food. You try o. Chilean food is nonsense na. Aside hotdog and sandwich there's no food in Chile. There's no even pepper here. There's no palm oil. Plantain is hard to find. There's no goat meat. How can you love Chilean food. You are definitely not Nigerian lol. I only eat for survival and not for taste like I used to in Nigeria. I am tired of everything here . I miss Nigerian food like crazy. If I enter Nigeria God knows I will eat myself to death. 4 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: lol , not that bad , ask for pepper in the restaurant even if it’s Tabasco .they have got great Seafood , also steak , part of traveling for me is to experience different cultures , food is a great part of that , It’s china , it’s India , it’s south east Asia , love the food experiences . Leave all the fast food and try proper restaurants , more expensive though . Was in vina Del Mar , found Chile almost as expensive as usa or Europe , maybe where I stayed . All the best on your journey . Will definitely revisit when I do a South American tour in future 7 Likes 1 Share

Re: Memoirs From Chile by Limassol(m): 2:54pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
rmx: Is that fish salmon? If it is then ,I wouldn't be surprise - Chile is one of the largest producer of that kind of fish together with Norway and Scotland. To the op saying he missed Nigerian food. I understand. But why happens to being open-minded enough to try out variety of Chilean cuisines out there, you may be surprise how pleasant it will be. And with the abundant of seafood and fresh produce there , plus some great culinary skills you can always make your tasty dishes yourself. And if you feel stuck YouTube is always there to help you out. Wish you good luck. 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20:That's what paying attention to little details does in terms of infrastructural delivery in any developing/developed country like Chile. The neatness of the city too is amazing. This nostalgically reminds me of the pleasant surprise I got on my first ever visit to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire (right in West Africa) by air in the late 1980s (enroute Accra airport). The Abidjan environment blew me away with the cleanliness and wide boulevards right from the airport to the prestigious Hotel d'Ivoire in the Cocody District where I stayed. There was strict respect for the law, zebra crossings, and traffic lights even at night! |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by XAUBulls: 3:29pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
tensazangetsu20:They threw raw beans away?... So, they do have their own strict standards for bringing raw food into Chile. Wow! |

Re: Memoirs From Chile by XAUBulls: 3:53pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
tensazangetsu20:Indeed @tensa They do have a point because some phyto diseases could be introduced into the food chain from imported seeds. This is the way the U.S. and the UK are very neurotic about bringing any uncertified foods into their countries, while they strive to look for new international markets for their own commodities. There is a lot of protectionism going on worldwide at the same time too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Limassol: There's a lot of sea food here but I have never been a seafood person not even back in Nigeria. I only ate meat. |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by tensazangetsu20(m): 3:55pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
XAUBulls: Oh yeah and they seem to also make a lot of money from agriculture so it will make sense being very protective. One of my projects this semester involved me visiting some farms here in Concepción and the scale of operations was massive as hell. 2 Likes 1 Share |
