How to Explore Santiago in Winter on a Budget: Best Tips & Experiences

It’s been nearly three months since the start of this business trip to Chile, and the dedicated employee remains as busy as ever. Each new project is not only physically draining but also mentally taxing. Adding to the challenge is the 11-hour time difference with home, which makes staying in touch a constant juggling act.

The highlight of the week comes every Saturday, when the team gathers for a homemade hotpot (with ingredients sourced from the Huaxing Supermarket in Chinatown), paired with local Chilean wine 🍷 and pisco. These moments are filled with lively conversation and laughter, temporarily easing the stress of work and the longing for family. The warmth of the food and the company, along with a glass or two of wine, help everyone unwind and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

Every day follows a familiar routine, with a short 5-minute walk between the bank and the dormitory. The hope is that the project will launch on schedule, bringing the convenience of fast payments to both the people of Chile and the local Chinese community. [Thumbs up]
