This is why you have to travel while you're YOUNG. I have very little experience outside of the USA. Some in Canada as a kid and all I remember were good times, huge 4 decker ice cream cones for a quarter.

Then there was Mexico, and the poverty, and the begging, and not feeling too safe there, the deeper we went in to Mexico that is.

Q: why didn't you just buy the flowers?

Lucky the boy returned with a cattle prod and not a gun. That's my American mind thinking...and one of the reasons I don't travel much. Who wants the hassles?

I've often wondered what it would be like if I couldn't follow my beloved baseball. I suppose you can get everything you need on the internet, box scores, games, and US here at Fanhome of course

But you can't get the local chit chat from the bartender or patron, the comfortable "how 'bout that Tulo last night" kind of comment. Of course I don't go to bars anymore either; so I wouldn't be much missing that.

Is soccer the sport of choice over there? Or IFC? Are you dominating the fantasy soccer leagues yet? How 'bout that Ronaldo?!

Good luck. Stay safe. Be alert.
