@TheLatamGuy I need to go back to Peru. Though I will admit most peruanas do not look like this.

@graemelamperson @Nicolas_MVD Arturo Fuente Sr was said to have smoked 25 cigars every day and the man lived to be 85.

Finally happened, went on a walk and saw daygamers shooting their shot in the streets of Bucharest. Got no shade for them approaching but they really should try not to dress like dorks when doing it.

@madmorbido @SovereignLatam I was in SD for a couple of days and thought it was much more interesting than Punta Cana just from all the history it has. Punta Cana is just for gringos to get ripped off.

@SovereignLatam I was in Santo Domingo for a couple of days and I thought the colonial part was very interesting and I wanted to go back to spend some more time in the city. Now I wonder how much there is to see outside of that. I was going to go for a month. Otherwise, it'd be Mexico.

[Makk @makk__i]

@SovereignLatam Good info, thanks🫡. I'll have to reconsider how long I will stay.

@dannyskelley @jackfriks @marclou Cool idea, I will give it a try

@WellBuiltStyle Very poignant, thanks for sharing

@Iberian_America @Uber_Support I had this happen to me one time. It took 24 hours for my account to fix itself and the order to close out so I could use the app again.

[Makk @makk__i]

Yeah, I've heard of that scam but never had it happen to me thankfully. Good thing the cops helped, I've been told they're not the most reliable.

If you hang around Larcomar, you will get quite a few scammers trying to approach you if you're a foreigner. I've had it happen to me 3 times. They won't ask for money, they'll just want to talk but eventually they'll try to get something out of you with some bs.

@hispanicnomad I was in Asuncion for a month and Paraguayans are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. I just wish the city had more to do cause I found it pretty boring after a couple of weeks.

[Makk @makk__i]

@LatinaCuloLover @hispanicnomad You are correct but they have phat asses so it is what it is.

[Makk @makk__i]

@hispanicnomad This was my ex's plan, go on trip to Spain on tourist visa and somehow get residency. It worried me that she might end up in this situation.

[Makk @makk__i]

@hispanicnomad That's wild to me that 5k will give you 6 months of runway In Thailand. I've been thinking about visiting and still can't believe how far the dollar goes there.

@bold_perception I know gringo pricing is super common in latam but it really was on another level when I was in the dominican republic. Worse still cause it's not even like their customer service is any good.

[Makk @makk__i]

Visiting Argentina for the first time and had a road rage incident where an Argentinian smashed my rental with his car a bunch of times. The police actually threatened me to not file a report or they would charge me as well. What a fkn country, don't even know what to say. I'm guessing he paid them off.

[Makk @makk__i]

@steveffinR @Iberianamerica I spent years in Mexico and the only place I've seen this occur is in Cancun but I didn't experience it as bad as this guy is saying.

The worst thing about Americans moving to other countries is when they bring their racial grievance politics bs with them. They are insufferable and it comes across as incredibly fake/performative when you make a video like this. You don't actually care, you just want to be seen as not part of the "problem".
