Mi esposita de Peru is descendant of people from the jungle in Peru [as opposed to the mountains] There is no hair on her body except in the one important place [and long dark hair on her head] Point is, life is simpler for her, no shaving of legs or under arms. This is not a joke.

   Just another possible benefit of going south

I know what you mean...that almost hairless skin is great to massage also. And not having all the ups and extras we have here makes my fiancee especially like taking nice hot bubble baths together, along with showing together alot of course.

Some of the fringe benefits of not being to afraid to take that step and buy a plane ticket I guess.

I think mine might have some 'jungle' in her also...she walks upright like us...but insists on going naked or with just a loin cloth alot. LOL

In my opinion there is no problem with hygiene in Cali. I have met many ladies there with no problem in this area.  The hotels and places I have stayed there has been no problem with a lack of hot water. It may not be as "hot" as you are used to in the States, but once again no problem. For many people in Cali, hot water may be a bit of a luxury during these tough times.

Hot water? Hot water? Have you ever stayed at the Windsor? My God, it'll boil the skin off your back. We had hot water at the Villa and it was freakin' hot! Thank God, we had cold water to compensate. LOL! The Pension Stein has a good supply of hot water. The Palace has hot water but with so many rooms and when you have customers it kind of goes quick, same as the Villa.
The residential sections probably have a problem, but I don't know how wide spread that might be. Some people might not even have a hot water heater. I concur with the idea that you can stay pretty clean with cold water if you have to. I hate cold water. Spent enough time in the infantry, you figure I would have gotten used to it, but I really hate taking cold showers. There is nothing like a nice hot shower. Maybe, I just appreciate it more having to live months without a nice warm shower.
I don't know, but has anyone gone out with a Colombian girl who reeked of B.O? I haven't and I know some of those girls weren't rich by any means. I don't know if they had access to hot water or not, but every woman I have been out with in Colombia have appeared to be "Clean and Fresh."
Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
