a one in a pot would be cute. probably pretty small

I would imagine a certain climate and temperature is very necessary. I guess here is the right climate because even though it can be dry for long stretches of time it does rain quite heavily for a lot

Or maybe just deport him for real. While some say this is a slippery slope, I think that some visitors or expats get away with too much without getting punished. There was a guy in Da Nang that livestreamed

The Count is a funny one. I managed to finish it but you know how they say that the book is so much better than the on-screen adaptation? I think the opposite is true with that Count of Monte Cristo series

yeah, I went back to read a few books that we were forced to read and enjoyed them because I could do it at my own pace and didn't have to understand all the academic bullcrap that was being force-fed

I quite enjoyed all of these. They are easy to read and never boring. That being said I don't think they are exceptional pieces of literature... they are built for mass consumption, and there is nothing

Basically everyone here prefers the cartels to the government. I suspect they are kept in check by virtue of their being a lot of them. IF just one cartel ruled the roost I think they would be a lot less

That is their job. I'm happy that I don't have to pay much attention to that where I have chosen to live in the world.

what if everyone just assumed that USA is super dangerous and filled with people with machine guns on the streets based on films? I think Mexico got a bad rap because while I am sure there are peaceful

it was my impression as well but if you look at it from the movie-makers point of view, a peaceful and "normal" society isn't really interesting for a film or TV series. If you get a chance I

I think that traveling most of the world is safe, as long as you don't do stupid things.

well I can only speak from an expat or visitor point of view. As is the case with anything, regional differences are going to exist and the experience could be very different from the perspective of someone

Good grief. This must have been a very niche publication back in '79 lol. I recall some computer mags I had in the 90's and those probably seem similarly low-tech compared to today... nothing like the

I missed her the moment I dropped her off at her babysitter

its up now. Have a look!

The drug trade was alive and well when I lived in Thailand. I suspect the point you made towards the middle there about the government missing their cut to look the other way is the largest part of why

I would say that there are a lot of "Marks" all over the places I have been in SE Asia. It is an unfortunate aspect of any expat community that I have ever been a part of, or even heard of, that

While I have never been to the big places like Playa, Cancun, and Cabo (as well as others) I have heard they have become incredibly Americanized to the point where it doesn't even feel like you are in

I would imagine that the fully furnished aspect of it drives the price up quite a bit. The furniture isn't very nice either, from what I have seen. I guess people are willing to pay this turnkey premium

From what I have heard they are considerably smaller than USA but also considerably higher than Vietnam. I suppose that is probably true for almost anything.
