Hello Emily. We're always looking for an occasional babysitter up in Martinez for our three kids (ages 8, 6 and 3.) Please send me a PM so we can discuss.

I use TD's Select Service account, which gives you unlimited foreign ATM withdrawals. With a $5000 balance all monthly fees are waived. It does charge 2.5% forex conversion, but I also use ING as a backup and have consistently found that TD's +2.5% conversion still comes out less than whatever...

My wife and I are always looking for babysitters for our kids. Please PM me with your email/phone number.

Applecare is available worldwide. Does not matter where you purchase your Apple device, if you have AppleCare, you can take it to any authorised service centre and they will accept it. There is a bit of a grey area with iPhones since you're supposed to go through your cell phone network...

Just wanted to add this: My Fibertel network at home only allows a maximum of 7 devices connected on the network. Depending on how many people live in your house, and how many devices they have connected, you may be out of luck.

I just wanted to pipe in here as well. I just had to go through a 5 hour conference call last night using Skype and a 3mb Fibertel connection with people in Canada and Japan. The call worked seamlessly, and for my part, the quality of audio (we didn't use video) on my computer (a MacBookPro)...

I usually just lurk on this forum, but I feel like throwing my 2 cents in here. The film makers appear to have not done their research properly. The description of what this documentary is about does not match with the reality of what is going on in this country, as many here have pointed out...
