‘Chileans are wonderful people.’
I had been waiting for the APEC leaders week to be over before it started, but that was before I knew it would fly by, and now that the Chileans are on the plane on a 23 hour flight back to San Tiago in Chile, I am already starting to miss them.
It has been an extremely tiring week, with very late nights and very early mornings, and many hours of waiting around. But it has also been a wonderful experience to have met such wonderful people from the other side of the planet, with such warm personas and appreciative gestures.
It has indeed been a pleasure to be the liaison officer of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Chile, whom is the nicest Minister I have met to date. Wonderfully kind and polite, and warm and welcoming. It was also a sight to see the roads of Orchard Road stop as a motorcade carrying the president got to bypass all traffic lights and head straight to her destination unblocked. Oh, and I also got to see Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Pictures to come soon with the Chilean delegation, but now, I am dead beat, feet are killing me, and I am going to lie down and watch tv. Things in the hotel room are all over the place and I am going to relax and stay another night, and finally enjoy the buffet breakfast tomorrow.
