#1- Latins are born litterbugs. They have a culture of littering.
When you see it in action, you probably will most days, you will naturally get irritated even outraged. What would or should be your response? Should you give a scolding, a lesson, make an embarrassing remark, or let it pass and do nothing at all?
#2- Plastic pollution in Latin America- an update on a huge problem.
#3- Latin Cops: their motto should be “to protect and serve- themselves, friends and families”
Local Latin newspapers are reporting citizens finally getting rankled at the way “on duty” cops use police cruisers as stand-ins for family cars and personal vehicles. Bottom line, if there’s a cop in the house no one in the immediate family need ever hire a mover, haul a refrigerator or ride a chickenbus again.

#1- When Gringos and Expats kick the bucket in Latin America- Part 2:
Dying, funerals and burial insurance are all very inexpensive in Latin America. Insurance is about $3 a month for individual coverage and they take care of EVERYTHING. Plus there’s a death benefit that will cover he extras like a decent plot and casket. But wait a minute. If funerals in Latin America are so very cheap at half or less USA costs, why not just skip insurance and pay out of pocket? Well, Latinos have different rules and customs about death, dying, burials, rituals etc., and besides, all the paperwork details and arrangements are in Spanish. That’s why it’s not a bad idea to drop $3 a month, get a policy and let the insurer take the ball and hold your hand through the process. Gringo survivors will be ever so glad you did.
#2- The idiosyncrasies of Latin oligarch families and traditional power brokers:
Not only are most of the top dozen or so families not very nice people, but many of their offspring are do-nothing morons gliding through life with the dumb luck of having been born with a well respected (and often feared) surname. However as a gringo you cut through the Latin class system like butter and therefore may get invited to the parties of the hoi-polloi. If so you can sit back, watch the show and silently make fun of them, like I do…
#3- Did you know that only certain banks in each Latin country transfer and receive the millions of dollars in in remissas- mostly coming from Latins living and working illegally in the USA? Now these very banks are offering a new kind of life insurance product. Its aimed mostly at illegals sending dough back home from up in the states. Today we explain it all in this somewhat unbelievable “boots on the ground” story.

#1- “El Sueno Canadiense” the “Canadian Dream”:
Today we talk about how Canadian citizens feel about poor Latinos who are suddenly seeing Canada as a nicer, safer alternative destination to the so-called “American Dream” in light of the Trump presidency. Lately for both Latins and gringos the usual stateside “American Dream” has lost its luster.
#2- Health care and Insurance in Latin America, Part 2:
The latest updates on Private Heath-care Insurance for expats in Latin America with an emphasis on new govt healthcare mandates for foreigners in Ecuador.

#2- Tales of the Latin wealthy classes:
The harder the dopey bodyguard set try to impress each other, the more embarrassing and ridiculous they look to us gringos(though not ridiculous at all to fellow Latins- who buy right into that superior class crap):
Listen here to how acts of extreme gringo wannabeeism serve to demonstrate the hollowness and shallowness of the "superior" gene pool. Today's “boots in the ground” story to that effect takes place in one of Latin Americas biggest gringo-clone shopping malls.

#1- Do locals celebrate Halloween in Latin America? I’ll say they do, but why?
It took a few years for them to jump on board, but now they’ve grabbed onto the gringo Halloween tradition with a vengeance. Latins now celebrate that holiday “day/night” about 2 weeks longer than you do. However, the night time “trick or treat” bit is almost totally unheard of in typical neighborhoods, though in upscale nice neighborhoods Latin kids tend to do the rounds. Still, it is hard to believe only a few short years ago there were almost no signs at all of Halloween in Latin America - except in gringoized tourist areas.
#2- Bits and pieces of the Bitcoin Dan story- how he ditched the Big Brother state and learned to love and appreciate the freedom he regained in Latin America. Today’s boots on the ground story.
#3-Bitcoin Dan will be a guest speaker At my January 2018 “Expat Insider” seminar in Guatemala, Central America. His topic will be, “the things you don't know about cryptocurrencies and the blockchain ”
