But what do expats really think of Latin Music? Do they understand it, do they even like it? Well here’s what we think of the subject…

The truth is, no expat I’ve ever met actually is enamored with the Latin music scene!
-Raincoats, umbrellas or modified garbage bags? Here’s the scoop on how smart expats stay dry in the rainy season. Here’s what to take along in your travel kit…
