#1- Its unfortunate but in Latin America, if you don't have the invasive WhatsApp installed, you will be disconnected from practically everyone. And that's not good. You won't be able to get a plumber, repairman, taxi or even get a restaurant reservation. It’s a double edged sword but you can take steps to minimize its invasiveness.
#2- How anal are you? Some Gringos and Expats are known to get pissed off and lose their cool with some regularity:
It mostly happens after ta few months and the "paradise effect" wears off. It happens a lot to straight arrow rule following gringos. But in time most of us learn not to sweat the small stuff. We either become more tolerant or pack our bags and head back to Cleveland.
#3- When entitled Latin children of the rich grow up to be entitled adult children of the rich..
#4-The Rich Latino with no class dilemma:
One of life's ironies is how people with money almost always assume they have great taste and class.. .. most don’t.
#5-Latin Real Estate bubble news:
#6- Some items I always travel with:
#7- Get a 100% legal (and well respected) 2nd Country Passport online and in just 60 days!
The Corona virus has killed Latin American and Caribbean Island tourism so tax revenues have dried up. Governments are broke and a small few have reacted by offering passport by investment programs. I have personally vetted the best legit one. Amazingly, you can apply online without wasting time or repeatedly flying back and forth to the country. That’s a first! For details email; theexpatfiles@gmail.com and listen to the complete explanation outlined in “The Expat Files” show program aired on June 28, 2020.
#7- Do you want to get into the exploding Crypto-currency world but don’t feeling quite confident enough to dive in?
Our own Captain Mango has developed a unique one-on-one Crypto consulting and training service (he’s been deep into crypto since 2013). To get started, email him at:
#8- Be sure to pick up my new and revised, "LATIN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REPORT":

#1- The trouble with Latino dog and pet owners:
Most Latin American dogs and pets are uncontrollable. It’s almost never the dog’s fault, it’s the owner, but owners don’t get it. When it comes to pet discipline and behavior, Latino owners are clueless.
#2- “Mal Gusto” means “Bad Taste” in English. It’s a conundrum as to why the vast majority of Latinos and Latinas have such bad home decorative taste while having surprisingly good fashion sense:
Not that I’m any arbiter of good taste. However, once you visit a few Latin American homes (even the wealthy very upscale ones) and ride in a few Latino owned cars you’ll see what I mean. For example: Latinos love white furniture, upholstery and rugs. Certainly white and light colored stuff look good in the showroom… but at home, only for the first few months. Newsflash! Not only are we in the tropics, where smudges, humidity, dirt and sweat-stains are the norm, many Latino families also have undisciplined pets that don’t mind romping and peeing on sofas, chairs and rugs. Ahgggh!
