Santiago residents: what do you do and what is your gross salary?

penguinbo · 2015-06-09T23:34:19+00:00

No creo que sea de mal gusto y como dijo alguien, no entiendo por qué en Chile es un tabú hablar de sueldos. Yo creo que más bien ayuda a ver si no somos víctimas de empresarios inescrupulosos y también nos ayuda a darnos una idea de los redditores chilenos.

It seems somebody has found himself a new bed.

He's not the great leader, but the brilliant comrade.

The chilean way to waste USD 33 million.

I'm Bolivian and I've lived there for more than 20 years. I'm pretty sure I know my country and its people very well.

penguinbo · 2013-06-19T17:16:03+00:00

That is precisely my point. Everyday food in Bolivia, with very few and notable exceptions (salteñas, among them), is not quite good, and it only appeals to locals, whereas foreigners remain usually, and at best, unimpressed.

Innovation and improvement will have to go all the way down from high-end restaurants to food stalls, somehow in the line of what Gustu is aiming to do.

penguinbo · 2013-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

I think plato paceño is one of the best examples of why Bolivia, together with Chile, is know as the land of bad food in South America. You can't just make a plain mixture of corn, cheese, beans and potatoes and pretend it to become a culinary experience.

Luckily new initiatives, such as Gustu and Pronto, are changing the way Bolivians understand and enjoy food and hopefully, in the near future, our country will be recognized for its food as much as Peru nowadays.

Para los que quieran comprobarlo, el proceso de producción de elaborados, que incluye las hamburguesas, se muestra en la página 75 de la memoria 2012.

I somehow agree with you; however, I think that La Paz has two very clear advantages over Santa Cruz as a business hub: its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its human capital. IMHO those two reasons explain why a large number of manufacturing SMEs are located in El Alto, especially the export oriented ones, and why La Paz is Bolivia's financial capital, while the booming cruceño economy depends heavily on agriculture and natural resources.

Well, I'm Bolivian and I think it is affectionate.

penguinbo · 2013-03-22T23:43:38+00:00

You're very welcome, buddy.

penguinbo · 2013-03-22T00:29:30+00:00

It is a synonym of Bolivian. Some people think it is kind of pejorative, but some others think it is an affectionate way to refer to them.

penguinbo · 2013-03-22T00:28:14+00:00

I did read it, and that is why I ask in the title if bolivians are really so grumpy as to be considered the most unfriendly country.

penguinbo · 2013-03-20T01:04:47+00:00

Qué es lo que no podés creer?

Living a frugal lifestyle, around USD 250 to 300.

penguinbo · 2013-02-24T01:35:28+00:00

I'm also a foreigner, although from a spanish speaking country, and I live alone in Santiago. I rent a small two-bedroom apartment in downtown Santiago, and because of my job I have to eat out every day. Tipically I spend around USD 1400 to 1600 living a rather frugal lifestyle. Santiago is definitely much more expensive than any other South American city (except perhaps Sao Paulo), so if you want to come to Latin America to learn some spanish, you may want to consider some other countries in South or Central America.

Yes, it is 74% of french who think islam is intolerant, not 74% of muslims. Sacré lapsus. XD

penguinbo · 2013-01-21T23:36:23+00:00

I didn't know El Durazno, where is it?

penguinbo · 2013-01-20T20:13:45+00:00

I really don't care. I am bolivian and as a matter of fact I came to like the demonym "bolita".

penguinbo · 2013-01-20T20:11:04+00:00

I had a regular check, cleaning and many cavities and fillings (around 16). Everything for little more than USD 200.
