Ireland: Wanting to move to Ireland:
My grandparents were born in Ireland. I have no paperwork on them as they died nearly 50 years ago. How do I go about applying for Irish citizenship based on descent? Any contact info much appreciated.
Kenya: What are the Risks of Catching Malaria while Living in Nairobi?:
Jambo, I have travelled to Nairobi several times. I have never contracted malaria. Am I just lucky or are the chances slim of contracting malaria if I stay within in the city?
Ecuador: When the Dollar Collapses:
As long as the U.S. dollar is the worlds reserve currency it will not collapse.
Keep that in mind doomsayers.
Ecuador: Ecuador is at risk.:
“Research studies show that genetically modified crops have harmful effects on laboratory animals in feeding trials and on the environment during cultivation. They have increased the use of pesticides and have failed to increase yields. Our report concludes that there are safer and more effective alternatives to meeting the world’s food needs.”
Dr Fagan said: “Crop genetic engineering as practiced today is a crude, imprecise, and outmoded technology. It can create unexpected toxins or allergens in foods and affect their nutritional value. Recent advances point to better ways of using our knowledge of genomics to improve food crops, that do not involve GM.
Dr John Fagan, is a former genetic engineer.
Dominican Republic: Plan to visit DR again:
If $500 gets you a furnished 2 BR furnished apartment, with utilities, TV, internet included, in a secured building, why would you need $2,000 per month to live comfortably? Whats the other $1500 used for besides food?
Ecuador: Does tipping at a restaraunt mean you want sex?:
In some countries its a supreme insult to leave a tip.
It should not be surprising to hear when money is left on the table in a country that tipping is not part of their culture, the waitress might think she is suppose to do something to earn this money.
In Kenya it is frowned on greatly to leave a tip. The people are very poor and someone who has a paying job to wait on you is lucky to have a job. Therefore leaving money for them is nothing more than giving money away to a stranger.
Ecuador: The deficit in the USA:
We have a two party dictatorship. We are headed for a collapse thats for sure.
Warren Buffet is the biggest phony out there. Are you aware he has spent millions of dollars lobbying Congress to pay less taxes for his company, all the while saying "we need to pay more taxes".
His company owes back taxes that has been in litigation with the IRS too.
Buffet also made a killing during the financial collapse. Sweetheart deals with politicians/Wall Street. Buying preferred stock with the condition that the politicians would bail the company out with our tax dollars, A can't lose proposition. Also known as crony capitalism.
Ecuador: Assage seeks asylum in Ecuador:
Assange is a hero. The corrupt U.S. govt. wants its revenge. Get Assange, destroy him for exposing corrupt officials in the U.S. govt.
Interesting to note the Obama administration leaked classified information about covert operations overseas to the NY Times. Obama is doing an investigation on the matter. Wanna bet, nothing comes of it?
Ecuador: NBA Playoff Coverage on Direct TV:
Did you watch the 24 point 4th qtr comeback by the Clippers? I still don't believe it. How could that happen?

JimWinAk, Stay away from International Living. Think of them as a used car salesman.
