Expat Files - Facebook in Latin America - 02/02/14

-Latins have discovered Facebook, Twitter and social networking in a big way and they’re becoming addicted just like so many US folks have. Copying the bad example of privacy-ignorant first-worlder's, Latins are freely giving up all their personal data etc., to anyone, or any pop-up window that asks for personal info. They’re making all of the same mistakes first-world people make, even more so. It’s that “lag time” effect again multiplied by the strong desire to be “gringo wanabees” that's driving the Facebook craze… 

 

-Most middle and lower-class Latin bathrooms are genuinely disgusting, and to put it kindly... quite scary. Expats really need a few Latin restroom / bathroom tips to keep a sane mind. Be sure to listen to this rant if you want to avoid unspeakable colonic grief and anxiety.

 

-Internet access with smartphones in Latin America and almost everything else you wanted to know about prepaid (non-contract) cell phones and service plans south of the boarder.

 

-The inside track on using your Latin lawyer, and what to expect when both on and off the gringo tourist trail
