  1.  @ib9511  The US needs to drop that obnoxious law, but we won't. Sorry, neighbors. Our government sucks too.

  2. Everywhere is different but yes, I agree with you and also agree that people gloss over this aspect of immigration. The I hate America types often use it to say that "everything was free and better" in some other place on Earth. I have never been asked for my insurance card more than in Uruguay (often featured in Travel and Leisure as the most perfect place ever of any time for expats). I joined a gym and they demanded my insurance card. The last time I entered the country they asked me (for covid testing purposes) to show them an insurance card. I have private American insurance that works overseas so it was fine, but if you do not it can be an issue.

  3.  @Stromen  I have met so many Swedes, Danes and Norwegians who say the same thing - they learned English via video games. Kids, remember this when your mom tells you to get off the computer and go outside. You are not engaging in virtual warfare with your friends and wasting time, you are mastering English, the international language of business and commerce =)

  4. Mexico City is in North America. Just like the rest of Mexico.

  6.    Sorry, my reply was truncated. We are allowed to keep it even past age 65 as it is part of a US federal pension scheme. Most people over 65 in the US are forced into a government run plan that is nowhere near as widely accepted.

  7.  @ib9511  I hear Americans complaining about having to take a PCR test (rapid test, whatever, all these BS tests) when returning to the country. But for citizens (who are the only voters, in theory) there is no vax mandate to enter, just the annoying test. The mandate is just for foreigners who want to enter the country legally. I do not hear Americans complaining about the border vax mandate at all, so I think it will be with us a long time. I hate that it makes a prison colony out of Canada, and I hate that my unvaxxed foreign friends cannot visit. Maybe 2024. It cannot come soon enough.
