We are on the other side of Para Todo. Do you remember the wild Para Todo? Living where I have lived for almost the last year.. Para Todo was a spectical. Shameful and even border lining discusting. At the climax came blowout parties.. With live music and free food for the most poor of the...

Can you wait a year? Realestate here is rediculous at the moment but that might change soon. Would hate to see you and your sister loose like like 20K in value over night. then again maybe that is of no importance to you. What ever you do good luck...

And just about the highest one too. Count the ways you get nailed. VAT, income, inflation..:eek:

A few things... to consider. Make sure you are paid in dollars, get a cost of living stipend which includes the possible inflations issues here. While you may get paid in dollars it is getting very expensive to live here. You can get hit two ways here, conversion to pesos and higher cost of...

The last time I went back I got some sort of flag. I think it was because I changed my flight plans from going to Atlanta to see my brother to going straight home to see my mother in NY 24 hours before the flights. Well I got the special treatment and honetly I was in shock. There I was shoes...

Poverty.. what is it? Why is it is that we have not defeated it? Ask yourself that question the next time you pass them on the street. How can we be so weak as a civilization? That we cannot beat something like poverty.. I know you will read this and think this and that. But really why is this...

Good question.. but read the OP. I thought and that in my own ignorance I could take this on. My mother was and is a Social Worker I watched her pour her life out for the poor in the US, many of whom were immigrants. She would work extreme hours for a very small salary and then share the the...

It is something beyond your little pea brain understanding junior. I never said ALL,

Interesting.. so now you want to disect me. I would not recamend trying that boys! Edit.. well give it another 10 years you might have a shot at the title.

Ohh I wish my life was that simple.. God how I wish this place only had such a simple and selfish effect on me. And the few things I wrote about are just the tip of the Ice Burg.

I cannot make plans at this point. I do not want to post photos or make a blog about this place. My friends here are very sensitive about the fact that they are poor. They are embarrassed about it, so I do not touch it. They know it and yet even they do not understand it. The entire world has...

The help would take radical changes and money is not the answer. First education but even that is not quite enough because on the other side is a lack of opportunity. And only opportunity can in IMHO defeat the depression that is strong in the minds here. You grow up poor looking at your...

I had no idea what I was in for.. and we have all seen the photos on TV.. and other places. I had seen those things all my life on TV in the US, I used to have an account with feed the children. But nothing compares to the reality.. as I said in an early post. When they burn their garbage with...
