Christian Jessen - A Dane starting business in South America (Santiago de Chile)
Dear Denmark: Will you be there when I get back?
The Danish Parliamentary Elections of 2011 is going on right now, as people following me on Twitter or Facebook without doubt has seen on the amount of Danish rants and links I have been posting lately. I wrote a post on my danish blog the other day, and thought I’d make a English post.
Peru vs Chile: Differences and Similarities In The Culture
After living in Santiago almost two months, I am starting to sense more of the big differences as well as similarities on the two countries – Peru vs. Chile – Santiago vs. Lima. Yesterday I was attending the Mapocho Valley meetup, and I had a very interesting and honest conversation with one of the Chileans, [...]

Even though my search for apartment is not complete yet (currenlty waiting for confirmation on the apartment I want), I thought I would write a post with some of my experiences.

Don’t Like My Country? Get Out!
Living a couple of years in Lima will give most people a true love/hate relationship with both the city and the country.

Lock Your Doors! Paranoia in Peru
This is another “fun fact” about Peru; the general paranoia. Maybe there is really something about it, but the Peruvians in general do not trust anyone – besides their own family. The trust in other people simply does not exist; and it makes an evil spiral, because it then is really rare you can trust [...]
Nothing But Clouds On The Sky
“The Cloud” – an expression becoming more and more popular the last couple of years, defining the new ways of using computers. Realizing the other day, that I am moving more and more into the clouds, I thought I would try to summarize my usage of “the cloud” and where I see this going.
Dont drink and vote!
On Sunday the Peruvians will vote for the local mayors of their districts and regions, it its strikes me a bit funny, that not only do they get fined if the don’t vote, but they are also not allowed to drink all weekend. Apparently the government has so little trust in its citizens, that they [...]
