[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5085457, member: 24302"] When I was in Kyrgyzstan I talked about being on the Silk Rd. When in Oaxaca, Mexico I talked about the climate. Of course I talked about how cheap it was in all of these places. Made it possible to stay awhile. So? I shared my plans for saving money by living cheaply as possible in order to get our home in Kansas paid off. In no way shape or form did I ever mention having people wait on me hand and foot. Believe it or not people don't come running to you acting all subservient because you're an American. If anything in the former Soviet Union they're curious why you're there when you can be in such an amazing country like the U.S.A. But other than a few fellows glaring at me in Mexico I've never felt resentment for me being there. You make a lot of assumptions. If you ever do some traveling you'll realize just how wrong you are. And there's absolutely no need to walk anything back. I'm heading to Argentina where tent camping is a very popular activity. And is very affordable. Right now a thousand USD will get you over $2100 USD worth of pesos through Western Union. Which means I can get by ok on $300 USD a month. Throw in money I pay here in the States means close to $1000 a month in savings. I've shared this before in case anyone is interested in living overseas. Don't need a lot to have a perfectly comfortable life in Buenos Aires. It's not bragging but of course you hate my politics so you're bent on twisting it every way possibly. And you think I shouldn't have the right to go here or there. I must answer to the local party chief. Freedom baby!! [/QUOTE]
