Impressive. Thank you for this and your other commentary (and photos).

There's English humour? 🙃

Victims want acknowledgement of what they were subjected to, whether or not the alleged perpetrator is alive. They want to tell their story. I can't relate completely because I haven't been sexually victimized.

I have a personal connection to the UFW and knew Chavez way back when. I'm conflicted about these reports and haven't yet decided what to believe, and not.

The People Magazine article reported Fonda was joking and that her comment about Streisand were playful.

Thank you.

Maybe I'm calculating incorrectly. But isn't 100 COP = US$0.02?

Yes, as the old saying goes ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder (wallet).

Purpose of this particular forum: The audience across the forums isn't exclusivelyThailand oriented.

Justice for Venezuelans and that country's refugees abroad abused by the Madero regime?

Not in bad taste, IMO. What's missing in that People Magazine article is context, the manner and the tone in which Fonda made the remark. I sense it was somewhat in jest ... but I think she would probably have been the most appropriate to have that role in the show. However, Streisand doesn't seem to make many appearances, and her participation was probably used as the lure to get her to participate. Though 5 years older than Streisand, Fonda seems more with it than Barbara (I'm a fan).

When in Rio de Janeiro last Fall I rented an apartment with one of the combination washers/dryers - but there were no instructions. The rental agent was unresponsive, on this and other issues (like no wi-fi).

Thanks for the Queretaro report. I've been there a handful of times in past decades. It has a sizeable foreign-born population because of the large number of international corporations. Primarily, I view it as an industrial city once you get away from the historic center. It's well-located to visit other cities in the Central Highlands as well as a relatively short jaunt to Mexico City. I've traveled extensively in Mexico for many years and though each of us has different criteria QRO wouldn't be on my list of places to relocate. It's good to check out the possibilities before moving; it's the smart thing to do. I returned, yesterday, from a two-week trip in Mexico: Mexico City (CDMX), Toluca, Atlixco and Puebla (in Puebla State), and Tlaxcala.
