    Hypothetical situation regarding dollar vs peso

    China is also by passing the dollars with Southeast Asia and South American countries, so they don't have to use the dollar in trade. When China stops buying our debit, which is slowly occurring...the US will be screwed. Amero? Amo? Food? What will be the currency of the future?

    SELL ME on BA .... please :)

    I love the food in Columbia better than BA. It has spices and flavor. You can have both positive and negative aspects with the people here. The wine and beer is cheap, but if you make pesos the cost of living is getting harder. It is extremely difficult to transfer money into the country...

    Pet transportation questions...

    Continental tends to have the better accommodations for the pets. Don't drug them. One of our dogs (1/5) are scared of noises, but we didn't drug her, because our vet told us that if the plane has bad turbulence than the dog won't be able to stable itself; therefore, she would have more hard...
