my 2 cents. the conspiracy is global at this point; there is no getting away from it. if you are looking to remove yourself from people, etc. that can be done here for much less expense. good luck.

As has been pointed out earlier in this thread, one will ALWAYS be considered an outsider in a Latin culture. If one has not fully assimilated into the local culture (which takes many years, it took a relative of mine over 10-12 years to be 'fully' assimilated, and after over 20 years he STILL has to send a local out to buy some things so he doesn't get 'the gringo price') then one is hosed when sugar turns to shit. Best to be around your own kind.

Not saying that adapting to Latin culture cannot be done (with Horn as one example), but it takes commitment and working at it full time, all the time.
