Expat Files - 09.29.19

Descriptions- EXPAT FILES SHOW #892 SUN, SEPT 29 (09-29-2019): 

#1- What you need to know about those little tiendas and hole-in-the-wall kiosks that seem occupy nearly every neighborhood corner in Latin America?

#2- Municipal Water, Cisterns, and everything else you’ll need to know about your own household water supply if you plan on owning or renting in a Latin American City:

#3- The Sanitation and Hygiene facts of life in Latin America:

There’s no doubt Latinos have lower standards in that department than we gringos and expats are used to. Today we discuss what we can do to bring our own Latin household help up to snuff.

#4- Huelgas! When the Latino hoards take to the streets! What you should know about Latin American street blockages and protests..

Is it safe to go out when the picketers come out?

#5- Some words about the lowly Mango:

Just when you thought the lowly Mango was a boring Fruit, today we have a ”boots on the ground” mango report. It’s true, Mangos don’t transport well, are quite delicate and hard to eat without making a mess. Not to mention they’re rarely available up in the states (except in pasteurized and adulterated juice form.. yuk). However, if you live or visit Latin America you would be remiss not to take advantage of all the amazing and fantastically delicious varieties available practically all year round. They’re practically everywhere even dropping off the trees (in both private and public spaces!). But why talk about Mangos? Well, today you’ll learn things about Mangos that will truly amaze you, and with the giant ones going for 5 or 6 for a buck they just might become one of your favorite and cheapest all time foods.
