Ouch! (had to watch the vid!) Nooo!!! Why would you do that!?!? I'm trying to explain that this guy should be better than the previous ones, who will believe me now?

Yes, I do. It's in a prominent place here at Command Central! Click on photo.

Great! Maybe it won't be necessary to wait until I travel to Columbus. I'll keep you updated on this.

Wow! Surprising what a similar experience it is compared to Argentina! I think the only difference is that here they make you fill several forms on the internet previously asking for a lot of personal information and they make you pay a significant fee there (then at customs you pay again). Other than for that, the experience is very similar.

You had to pay a fee before you could even receive that package!?

You had to pay a fee before you could even receive that package!? I told you when the pin incident happened! Not just one: three. One previously on the internet which is either US$ 25 or half the prize of the good you are receiving, whichever of those is higher. The other two are in the customs deposit, one fix for I don't know what and another one for each day the good spent in the deposit. Worst thing is that if you are unable to get your package for some other reason no one returns you the money. The guy in Turkey had to pay one as well.

I don't recall this. I still can't believe you were willing to through all that.

I don't recall this. I still can't believe you were willing to through all that. No, I tried to get it without paying because I had seen on the internet that apparently there was a way. I didn't have success so that's when I came back to you and explained you the situation. Not that I wasn't willing to pay, but it's paying a lot of money for something there are no guarantees you'll get.

Why English is so hard to learn? Having spoken it since your early childhood you guys probably never questioned yourselves these things, but those who had to learn it later on found a lot of difficulties like this funny and clever poem describes: vlogdance I'm sure you'll like this.

It's almost as bad as French, when you have a choice of "le" or "la" for "the". You've got a job to remember which words require "le" and which need "la". The times I ended up ordering "deux" drinks just for myself, because I couldn't remember if just one was a "un" or "une"...

I've had trouble with deux though, asking for "de" (as in some) fromage at a bar in Nice, we ended up with "deux" (two) platters. Which was very nice but hugely filling.
