    How Is The Government Handling The Power Crisis?

    Good to see that the porteños care for the city's birds; street lights also reach fifth floor so the birds can sit up there and read the newspapers.

    7 Habits Of The Happy Expat.............

    Ideally, yes, but in reality no. Some of us remember HOYT (the Yoga Teacher) and a few more members, who could not leave, and stayed for years after past expiration date because of heavy investments in foreign currency.
