October 29, 2021 The Expat Files: 10.29.21
Descriptions- EXPAT FILES SHOW #1099 SUN, OCT 29 (10-29-21)
JOHNNY’S 2021 LATIN AMERICAN “EXPAT INSIDER” SEMINAR HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO BAD SCIENCE AND US GOVT STUPIDITY:
The latest Latin American Seminar was scheduled for January 8th thru 14th, 2021. However, since the “usual suspect” Cov-Idiot knuckleheads in government along with talking head scientists (in the pocket of big pharma) arbitrarily place restrictions at airports and impose new lockdowns (i.e. Soviet style house arrests), please stay tuned for the new rescheduled dates (estimated to be in late Summer). That will happen when USA and Latin America airports drop the Cov-idiot test requirements, scheduled to be when so-called "Herd Immunity" has been achieved. We’re on it and will keep you posted…

#1- Is there ever a case for ass–crack pants?
Today’s first boots-on-the-ground story involves the arrival of a Latino construction crew where 3 out of 4 workers were sporting the extreme ass-crack pants look. Might that be offensive or embarrassing to you, uncle George or or grandma?
The moral of the story? Mother’s don’t let your babies grow up to be morons…
#2- Will the Latin American infrastructure also crash when the 1st world infrastructure inevitably breaks down?
#3- Cops in police cruisers- what gringos and expats need to know:
#4- More motorcycle madness:
Another one bites the dust (and why that’s a good thing)

#5- Why the Mayan Riviera (Yucatan peninsula), once the last safe bastion for Gringos in Mexico, is no longer a safe “Plan B” for Gringos and Expats:
Narcos and extortionists are now targeting Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Hmmm ... did you expect otherwise? Why not? That’s where thousands of naïve travelers and their tourist dollars are concentrated.

#6- Do you want to get into the exploding Crypto-currency world but don’t feel quite confident enough to dive in?
Our own Captain Mango has developed a unique one-on-one Crypto consulting and training service (he’s been deep into crypto since 2013). To get started, email him at:

#7- Be sure to pick up my newly updated, "LATIN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REPORT":
The new edition for 2021 (and beyond) is available now, including the latest "Stem Cell Clinic" info and data and my top picks for the best treatment centers for expats and gringos. Just go to www.ExpatPlanB.com and click on the "Latin American Healthcare Report”.

#1- have you heard the term 90-60-90?
You should know the significance of those 3 numbers.. They're just a bunch of numbers to Gringos and Expats but are a very big deal Latino's and Latinas in Latin America:
#2- Can you travel to Latin America without getting vaxxed?
#3- An up to date Stem Cell Clinic discussion;

#4- Ever wonder what shows and podcasts do I listen to?

#5- Ahh.. those Latin American 10 percenters… today we discuss a few things you won’t like about Latin America:
Yes, you will encounter upscale Gringo wannabees and their spoiled and entitled kids. Yes it will rub you the wrong way, but then gain, it will remind you of home…

#1- Gringo “Good Samaritans”
The rumor is that an expat can get screwed by being a good guy and helping a person who has been in an accident. Do those universal “Good Samaritan” laws apply?

#2- What to do if you get into a car or motorcycle accident:
Tips on how, after a traffic accident, you can do damage control and avoid getting your car impounded by the cops…

#3- What to do after the Expat “Honeymoon” period is over and you begin to experience the next phase, the “fish out of water” syndrome:
Soon enough every Expat asks himself if he did the right thing. Today we talk about adaptation, how to stay flexible and some tips on how not to sweat the small stuff:

#4- Is so called “White Privilage” and analogue to “Gringo Advantage" in Latin America:
Some thoughts on the idea that certain long term Expats admit that the “Gringo Advantage” is not all fair and it’s much like White Privilege on steroids. So what’s a gringo to do? Since there’s no way you can’t change it, should you lament and call out foul or just go with the flow?

#1- “Nothin’ is for Nothin”
DYK the USA has been giving free immigration software and training to Latin country immigration departments? Now, why would broke and unhinged Uncle Slam wanna do that? Duh! Obviously to keep an eye on the disturbing number of sheep who getting the hell out of Dodge and voting with their feet. Big Brother is exercising damage control and busily finding ways to keep track of the sheep who have left the barn.

#2- What happens when Gringos and Expat overstay their visas:
It used to be simple and not much of a problem. Up until very recently, if you overstayed your time you paid a little fine (per number of days overstayed) and all was forgiven. However, all this is changing for the worse. In some Latin countries most recently, immigration rules are suddenly being enforced to the letter. In Mexico for example, the immigration cops are stopping public busses and checking documents. And Gringos and Expats caught overstaying rounded up and deported (along with the illegals trying to sneak into the states).

#3- Beware of those “Latin Cupid” dating sites:
Its ben said a million times that men are suckers for a pretty face. And gringo males, especially guys who speak no Spanish, are no exception and gullible to boot. They get scammed over and over again, yet they keep getting on those stupid Cupid dating sites hoping to meet Ms. Right. But from the many sad stories I’ve heard, it seems 80% of the women who post on Latina Cupid dating sites are in it for money. It’s a no brainer for those bad girls too. In fact its become a 24/7 job for some of them, stringing out as many stupid gringos as they can and hitting each one up for money each month. So today we offer some tips on how to wade through that minefield and spot the bad ones.

#1- Going off the grid in Latin America:
More and more expats are giving the utility companies the finger. In fact, I’m doing this show from one of those gringo owned, 100% off-the-grid places right now.

#2- Who knew that Expat Eddie was a closet "Do Gooder":
Today Expat Eddie shows us exactly how his unique, truly effective, and super successful “do gooder” project works:
Meanwhile, hundreds of “do gooder” groups continually arrive in Latin America with good intentions, whose efforts generally have marginal or even negative results. So then, why did it take a wild and crazy guy like Expat Eddie (a guy who mercilessly mocks “do gooders”) to implement a vastly superior plan? On top of that, the amazing thing is that his plan is self-perpetuating and keeps on rolling along. And being that he is Expat Eddie, he implemented the entire project from the comfort of his favorite barstool. Nope, he never had to lift a finger, break a sweat or get his hands dirty...

#3- Expat Eddie rides again:
Things like this can only happen to him….
#4- Smart meters and dirty electricity in Latin America:

#1- “Neither a lender nor a borrower be”
It’s time for a few words of caution when thinking about lending out tools and other items to Latinos.
For a number of reasons it’s generally NOT a good idea to lend out your stuff to anyone including trusted gringos, even if it’s a good friend or neighbor who is doing the asking. But you'll see today why it’s an especially bad idea to lend stuff to Latinos, and near crazy to even think about lending your car to a Latino… unless of course it’s a junk. So listen today and let me count the ways you will regret being a "nice guy" lender in Latin America….

#2- Things Gringos and Expats never ever consider when building or remodeling a house that will surely come back to haunt you
in a year or so:
Today we talk about totally overlooked mistakes you never realized were mistakes at all while deep into a construction or remodeling project.

#3- Ever consider driving through Latin American borders with your dog or a pet?
Is it a good idea? Will it be tough going? Today we offer some tips and advice as well as a boots-on-the-ground story or two.

#1- How to find a good Latin American MD, Dentist or Healthcare Clinic even if you don’t speak Spanish:
There are hundreds of medical tourism websites in English on the web, some of them very glitzy. But just because they are glitzy and in English doesn’t mean they have 1st world standards or high quality…

#2- Getting out of Dodge the RIGHT and the WRONG way:
This is a heads up for Expat gonnabees and wannabees and others still on the fence:

#3- What if you absolutely can’t wait to get the hell out of Dodge but your partner or spouse doesn’t want to go?
It's a common dilemma. Can he or she be convinced or must you go south of the border alone and let him/her remain on the titanic?

#4- Are you being given the ultimatum to force vax or lose your job up in the states?
Today we have a boots-on-the-ground story that demonstrates how seriously idiotic this has become.
