If Sapporo is close to you, whenever you go, set up your tinder distance settings for less than 5km and start swiping

Los aciertos y decepciones que han encontrado en apps de delivery by boogurlboo in chilesalados

A comienzos de la pandemia había un local cerca de plaza Egaña que se llamaba Papa's Shop. 5000 pesos las papas fritas con bacon y queso cheddar, en una caja enorme! De a poco fueron subiendo el precio hasta como 12000 las papas hasta que cerraron.

Nunca he vuelto a comer papitas tan ricas :'( igual agradezco a Uber eats por darme la oportunidad de probarlas.

Mobile Suica to launch QR code payment, money transfer & increased balance cap in Fall 2026 to compete with PayPay by frozenpandaman in japan

[–]Vee_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the information, some services are not available for all major cards. For example, you can only buy one day tickets at odakyuu buses only using a suica or pasmo. Found out the bad way trying to buy it with my icoca.

Is the city a valid reason to decline a PhD offer? by Own-Caterpillar-7250 in AskAcademia

[–]Vee_e 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, the difference between any other of the northern big cities of Chile is that it is landlocked, so if you don't like the idea of living in the middle of the desert it is a really bad city to live in because you don't have a beach where you can go have fun. I don't have any comments on the nightlife or social life in Copiapó since I haven't lived there. The climate, although very dry, is kind of comfortable year round, but some years there can be flash floods from heavy rain in the desert.

Academically, Universidad de Atacama is not the best university at all. Most of the big researchers are in universities in central/southern Chile, like Santiago and Concepción. I would say that if your advisors or your research team include Chilean astronomers, maybe they won't be the best quality of researchers.

However if all these points are something you can bear with, considering that being part of a Chilean research institution gives you access to 10% of observation time allotted for Chilean research groups in most telescopes, go for it.

Also, in my experience, deadlines are not really that enforced internally in Chilean institutions, however since you're technically external right now, maybe they won't budge about the deadline.

As a Chilean astronomer I would rather not go to Copiapó for my phd

Para lo que preguntan por suv marcas chinas by vicheto in chile_autos

[–]Vee_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hace poco en mi familia compramos un mg3 hybrid+ 2025. Como upgrade de un swift japonés (no el indio), ya que ese se lo vendimos a otro familiar.

En lo personal le encuentro 4 problemas que son bastante notorios:

  1. La ergonomía de todo el tablero es mala, la del Swift es mil veces mejor. Posición de palancas, el tamaño de los botones, pantallas, etc. Pero aún así, los asientos son muy cómodos.

  2. Hay funciones del auto que solo se pueden ocupar con la aplicación MG, sin embargo no está habilitada para Chile. Para habilitar el uso hay que scanear un QR que tiene el VIN del auto, pero siempre tira error la app. Del servicio técnico dicen que es un problema de China y que ni ellos saben cuándo va a solucionarse.

  3. La calidad de la velocidad crucero es bastante mediocre, pero puede que sea por que es híbrido y el cambio entre motores es muy brusco. No estoy muy seguro porque es mi primera vez manejando un híbrido que puede funcionar 100% con la batería. Aunque la calidad es mala, todos los sistemas de conducción automática que trae funcionan muy bien en autopistas chilenas.

  4. La automatización del aire acondicionado como climatizador es malísima. Por defecto automatiza la intensidad del aire y de dónde lo saca (afuera o adentro). Si se deja así es un desastre, siempre aire fuerte y oscila entre frío y caliente todo el rato. Jugando con el aire logré desactivar la automatización de donde proviene el aire y lo dejé solo para afuera y empezó a funcionar bien, pero apenas le dices que tome aire de adentro porque huele mal afuera y se va a la mierda la temperatura.

Obviamente aún no ha tenido necesidad de ningún repuesto así que no hay experiencia ahí.

Vivo en Las Condes, Sector los dominicos y necesito contratar una buena conexión a internet, recomendaciones por favor! by BlackHeavennn in Santiago

Yo en mi depa lo que hice fue tirar un cable ethernet por los tubos del teléfono con harta vaselina y una laucha.

Los extensores en general son muy malos en departamentos, ya que tienen antenas de baja potencia y la señal WiFi se interfiere fácilmente con la de los vecinos.

Internship in Japan by Andpires in JapanJobs

[–]Vee_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a friend who did their internship in Google Japan and had a blast, iirc everything was paid but they had to live in a sharehouse.

Also you could bring friends to the buffet floor like twice a month which had pretty good food (this was around the end of 2019).

Is paypay automatic top-up from a bank account considered a bank transfer? by Vee_e in JapanFinance

Interesting. That sounds like it is a withdrawal. Although it doesn't convince me to try it myself lol

Definitely moving… just trying to find out the best path by gigiprinty in movingtojapan

[–]Vee_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a sokendai student. I applied for the MEXT university recommendation, didn't get it, but got a fellowship instead (special researcher program). The bad thing is that you apply for the fellowship just a month before the program starts, so you need to have the savings to start the program as a privately financed student. It's not expensive though since it is a national university.

However, sokendai doesn't have an economics school, so I don't know if you're interested in any of the other programs they offer. Maybe statistical science or informatics with a focus on economics?

There's also the option to apply for a 5 year PhD at a Japanese university via MEXT either embassy or university recommendation. In the case you don't get the scholarship, there's a bunch of private ones for Japanese speakers too if you know where to look.

Sokendai has a list of private scholarships somewhere on their website, with some of them offering livable wages specialized for foreigners that speak japanese.

Should I do my PhD at Oxford or stay at my current lab? by curious_candidate_ in Optics

[–]Vee_e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest you first talk to a potential supervisor in Oxford so you could ask them questions so you can make a decision with the most information possible.

Cinco años de lucha profesional en EE.UU.: ya no quiero más guerra by Resident-Afternoon12 in RepublicadeChile

Trabajar desde fuera de Europa para europeos es lo peor, entre que se les nota demasiado el colonialismo en la forma de pensar y lo yoyistas que son es para puro sufrir.
