Yesterday it was All Saints' Day, a feast celebrated on November 1st by Roman Catholics and it was a National Holiday in Chile. It is an important day in Chile and most people spend time with their family, visit their loved ones that have passed away and go to mass. I celebrated it with my children and some friends. We were all in masks of positive characters (as opposed to the American Halloween full of monsters and witches). I felt very secure having Superman, Spiderman and a flighty Minnie mouse with me. Today, most schools are closed so people took a long weekend to go the beach or the country side (Santiago is privileged since it is located only 1 hour to the coast and 1 hour away from the mountains). In fact, my sister is enjoying the beach at the moment.
So, since most people are away today I will catch up with some emails and reports that I need to prepare. Also if possible I will speak with two Chilean businessmen interested in establishing partnerships with British companies in the health sector and another in the energy sector. Based on the information provided I will send a Business Opportunity lead through the UKTI portal and also contact the relevant organisations.
