Las visas! Un proceso cansado pero necesario. Yo por ser mexicana necesito visa para muchos lados. La pregunta del día es: Necesitas visa para visitar Latinoamérica?

Yo no necesito, pero necesito para los Estados Unidos, China, Tailandia, Vietnam y muchos países mas.

The visas! A trying but necessary process. Because I am Mexican I need visa for a lot of places. The question of the day is: Do you need visa to visit Latin America?

I don´t, but I need for the USA, China, Thailand, Vietnam and many other countries.

sería equivocado o anormal decir "voy como turista"?  después de escuchar la discusión, me imagino que así lo habría dicho sin saber este uso de "de turista."

I would like to build on Lili’s point when she said that you do not hear an “n” sound in the word “Inmigracíon.  Usually an “n” in Spanish sounds very much an English “n”.  But, when “n” comes before (b,v, p or m) it sounds like an English “m”.  So “un mes” sounds like “um mes” See the link.

Guuuteeen Taaag! :) Buenos días! / Good day!

Sí, es verdad, así hablamos en alemán, con las vocales bien largas. (¡Pero ojo!, también hay vocales cortas en alemán. Espero que GermanPod salga pronto para que todos ustedes puedan aprenderlo. :) Yes, it's true, we talk this way in German, with quite long vowels. (But attention! There are also short vowels in German. I hope that GermanPod starts soon such that you can all learn it!)

Si voy de tourista a Latinoameríca y me quedo menos de 90 días no necesito visado. Sólo si voy a Venezuela en un velero necesito un visado de categoria "embarcaciones deportivas". Qué bueno que no tengo un velero. :) If I go to Latinamerica as a tourist and stay less than 90 days, I don't need a visa. Only if I go to Venezuela in a sail boat, I need a visa of the category "pleasure water crafts". Fortunately I don't have a sail boat. :)
