    The prices we paid for hotels in BKK and later in the islands off Thailand were in the price range of 20.00 to 30.00USD. Also I purchased suits for 179USD which included 2 shirts, 2 pants, ties and a belt plus a kimono for that price. We stayed on an island Lantau for 5 days, 15usd per day...

    I just returned from a 6 week vacation abroad. I travelled to Uruquay, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Thailand and Nepal. I can say without a doubt the best and most wonderful time was in Thailand and Nepal. The country is beautiful, romantic and relaxing. The people were so friendly at times it...

    Re: Buenos Aires crime rate - 2

    This is too much to swallow. I am heading to BA for a few days. Perhaps some of you might wake up to reality. There is nada any of you Epats can do about crime. But this issue of the ATM can be resolved as a team. Wake up before it is too late for you or someone you know. Rapping about...

    Sorry folks to bring this up agan here. But I think it should. ATM Issue: I contacted Visa International today and asked why Banco Nacion is telling us that they are responsible for these Restrictions. After talking to the monkey for 10 minutes or so I asked to speak to the organ grinder. I...

    Expat Action

    Thankyou. However, this information is incorrect, or correct depending on what bank (s) your referring to. I can use any bank in Argentina and not pay a penny for its service. However I do not like to be discriminated because I am from one country or another. I have studied this problem (ATM)...

    Expat Action

    Please excuse me for bringing this up and interrupting all of this very important dialogue each of you are committed to on this site. It seems to me that there must be a lot of Expats living here. It is also evident from reading much of what is said that many of you are very intelligent. So...

    British inferiority complex?

    Sorry my friend, but they do not use Canada and never will. The USA attacked Canada and we punished them for this during the War of 1812. The diplomatic relationships today between the two countries is at an all time low. When they asked us to go to Iraq, we said no.Now they are cheesed at us...

    British inferiority complex?

    Im sorry but you are wrong. My information shows that the USA offered its assistance and G.B. and it was politely rejected. As for the idiot Military Dictator who sent thousands of young men to that war, unprepared and with guns that had rust all over them and very few bullets to go with...

    Will the expat invasion end?

    I love this country a lot more than most of you. Course I had to move around some to find the best place and indeed I did. Yes the pollution is bad, political scene is too, police are the biggest joke in the world when it comes to law and order, but then I don't really blame them, they have...

    Will the expat invasion end?

    Like the history, the Roman empire and so on, the mighty USA is now facing its greatest test, financial ruin. The dollar will continue to fall and faster than the economists can even vision. The money mongers will make a fortune shorting the greenback. Gold is headed for 1000.00 + and oil...
