Cerveza Selection - What kind of beers can I look forward to? by FreeRangeJoel

So, from our limited amount of research so far, we've learned that wine is quite cheap, and that a night out at a pub won't bankrupt you the way it does here in Vancouver. I always love to try different beers whenever I travel... so are there any ...

Erik

I haven't tried their Red, and I'd like to give them a shot again, so I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm down. That's good news about Fuller's! At least you know you'll have a good stand by. If they have any form of success, I'm sure that ... Read More

Erik

If you are bringing cash, try to use denominations lower than $100. There are a couple series of $100 Bills that WILL NOT be exchanged**. This was due to rampant forgeries. If I can find the specific series or if this has changed as of late, I ... Read More

People: The information I have seen says that Paraguay does not recognise Dual citizenship with Australia or New Zealand or the U.S. or other countries but only with Spain. In fact, they do not recognize dual citizenship with most countries if one ...
