ohh nice, thanks for your prompt response. I've been trying to use Duolingo to learn Spanish but I don't find it effective. Can you recommend how I can learn it, more like a platform or any way?

Go to a language school and try to find ways to immerse yourself in Spanish. Watch Spanish YouTube videos. Read books in Spanish and all

Use interpals

It's not a language school , it can help you interact with folks that speaks Spanish


You might see someone that's in your area that's prolly learning Spanish

No idea. I came with residency not tourist visa. Just pray Chile tourist visa isn't easy to get.

Thank you for the prompt response!!! The notion I got before applying is that the visa takes a short time, do you have anyone who has gotten the Tourist so I can discuss with them

My friends invited me to another city in the region I am in. So I am in Concepción and Concepción is in a region called bio bio. The region has a total of around 10 cities. I got invited to hang out with some friends at Inacap. Inacap here in Chile is like a technological university. It's only for engineering and computer science. The city I went to was called Talcahuano. Men its so much more better than concepcion. Lots of factories and so much more industrialised. Probably sure that's why the school is there.

In Nigeria you can't go from mainland to island without regretting it.

God help you if you want to go from Lekki to Ogun state and return the same day for example, you fit curse your ancestors. cheesy

LoL there's trains in all regions connecting cities but I prefer to use the bus. I haven't gotten the card for the train yet and you need to go the city center to use it.

There's only one road leading from island all the way to Ogun state.

The part of the road in Lagos comes with overhead bridges, however it is too little to serve the population. It is only a singular bridge that leads the island to mainland, the 3rd mainland bridge. It's the reason why there's always gridlock during rush hours.

The worse part of the road is the one in ogun state. That roads interchanges from one lane to two lanes.

One thing that still surprises me till today is why buses still need conductors in the best state in Nigeria.

Why do we need one dirty looking guy to hang on a bus to collect money? It's so archaic and backward.

Seeing how free that road is is surprising.

In Lagos, it would have been filled with yellow buses.

Apart from how safe the society is, another aspect of life I applaud the Japanese is the train system. These guys have hacked it thoroughly. Sometimes, I feel like crying when using the train. The way it moves, speed, the mannerisms of the drivers and everything about the rail system. I bet they can construct a railway line while asleep. Na small small things like this dey increase life expectancy rate.

I was happy when I saw the news that the monorail in Lagos started work. Before then, Lagos was the only city in the world with over 20 million residents without any rail transit. The city abi state needs rail and monorails. The market is there to make money out of it. If need be, they should privatise the lines as the Japanese do. When the rail is good and working optimally, copy Singapore's ERP system. Trust me, when the rail works, most people would not want to drive except for personal reasons.

Development no hard these days. There are enough templates to copy from and tweak to personal tastes.

Congratulations. Temuco is pretty cheap to live in compared to Santiago. I sent you a DM. Nice to see people making plans and succeeding while others are abusing. As of when I left Nigeria, a dollar was 750. Now it's 1000 if care isn't taken it will be 1500 and the money I used to move them one will need double of it cry cry cry
