I would think you practice for an hour or so before doing this. Unless he's trying to go viral.

@Scotian82 @kunley_drukpa Where did you find that gem? Who is the sociologist?

@Molson_Hart Suburban children suffer for their parents' fears. Mine have 10x social network, stores, parks, rec centers in walking distance. That's before the 12-year-old gets a bus pass this summer. I grew up in burbs, found my way to plenty of crime and drugs. Boredom is the greater risk.

@mageeclegg Worst part of it all: uncertainty moving forward.

@RoadieWolf An old expat pal is part of that paisa racing / gearhead community: Zac from Indiana. Arrived in 2009 I believe.

@levelsio Ask any American who is kind of a pussy and you hear that.

@ExpatChron There is a great flick out there about this life, titled "La Vendedora de Rosas"

@ramit Ramit, I've been with you since '09. Wouldn't leave over this, just want to speak up here for LatAm, the region least likely to remove shoes.

Back in the US now, I think those homes refrain from asking us. I like to think they imagine me going Donnie Brasco if they try.

@Cat_lucy1 "Do they not feel guilty they're disturbing other people?"

They're not even aware, much less feeling guilty about it.

The bus is no big deal. In middle-class (and below) housing, you will have to suffer the neighbor's rumba at full blast until the wee hours.

@TheStalwart You're in Montreal?

@lawrencekingyo I noticed looking over the data again that Peru was lower than Uruguay. Tell them that for max freak out LOL

[Colin Post @ColinPost]

Respectfully skeptical that more expensive flights will move the needle much. Happy to be wrong.

Personal experience from LIM is a love-hate relationship with Spirit. I wanted to celebrate its bankruptcy, but I also used it A LOT.

[Medellín Unmapped 🇨🇴 @MDE_Unmapped]

Might sound harsh, but Spirit Airlines shutting down will actually improve the kind of tourists Medellín gets.

Super fitting as Medellín is getting serious about discouraging passport bros/sex tourists and bringing in better quality visitors instead.

Locals, investors, the city government, and even other expats all agree on this.

The change is already happening.
