Future Chilean neighbour buggered

Phew, I thought you meant she had been bum raped.

Increase your offer for the land ?


Best help would be to physical, to help clear and rebuild. You could put
out a request for any one traveling in the area to detour that way to help
out ?

 

Not if there is notnthing to buy it isn't

 

Or diesel

 

Swot I would do if I was reasonably sure of them. Assuming I was quite sure
of my migration plans....

 

Swot I'd do - you'll gain huge local credibility before you arrive.

If you don't get there, well, as you say, you can afford it.

 

Difficult when you're on the other side of the planet.

 

Excellent warning!

 

Don't know how high the area is, winter coming... a rocking good tent?

Granted, but there are bikers out on the road traveling down the
PanAmerican all the time.

A browse of a few blogs, and then maybe a few emails suggesting they may
want to detour inland and lend a hand ?

I know I would if something like this happens when we are on the road.

Donate your plot of land to her so she can build a nice, new, earthquake
proof house on to live in.

The only humane, charitable thing to do.

Well, you are called Tim.

I wouldn't do that TOG.

Only 5% of the money will make it to her.

 

It doesn't get that cold near Santiago.

 

Well, you are called Tim.

True, but I am not really skilled in the building trades. That counts me
out and means that TOG's building stands a better chance of surviving
any future earthquake.

 

In one of the Dago groups we have a Chileno who works as a service droid for
insurance companies (he expects to be busy, certainly).

May I ask him on your behalf what is the best thing to do, with knowledge of
the country?

 

Sure

 

Does your magazine/journal/rag have any contacts they can utilise ? You
have gone over on business a few times. Is it worth them doing some sort
of "aren't we good helping these people " type thing ?

 

I also have two very close friends who were born in Chile and have
just reported to me that their family are safe. I don't know what
influence their family has over there or what information they could
pass on, but feel free to throw anything my way and I can ask them. It
may or may not help, but I know they won't mind me asking.

Paging Lukas... He's off to the south for a few days for volunteering. Will
get back to UKRM by the time I have some hints.

 

Yes.
I can see it now.
A convoy of Yanks, Krauts and Brits all arriving to rebuild the house of
someone who they don't know, as a favour to someone else they don't
know, who only wants them to do it so he can keep in with his future
neighbours when he moves there.

Sure, that'll work.
