#1- Dealing with chaotic, disorganized, lazy-ass Latin government fatheads. Why is it that when green gringos first arrive in Latin America, after seeing paper-pushing govt bureaucrats and slugs in action (or more precisely .. inaction) it tends to drive first-world people nuts? Then as time rolls on, a light-bulb goes off with most smart gringos.

#2- A lady expat’s "not so excellent" Latin paperwork adventure. Today’s “boots on the ground” story.
While trying to get the proper stateside documents to apply for Permanent Residency, our lady expat gets the govt slug run around on steroids.

She suffered lost time and effort due to a slight change in a paperwork rule that just happened to coincide with when she was collecting her own documents and trying to get them authorized. Just plain bad luck.
#3-When applying for residency in a Latin country (depending on the country) you will need certain necessary stateside documents either “Apostilled” or “Authenticated”.
There is a big difference between the two. Today we’ll explain why and what its all about.
#4- Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame has been holed up at the Ecuadorian consulate in London for over 5 years now. According to reports he’s been a total slob and the embassy staff are sick of him and his slovenly and often gross ways. They want him gone.
