Quick update tonight.
We'll pick up a new car tomorrow morning. Wilhelm's Auto is a great outfit.
Our banking situation continues to be challenging. We now have resident status and a new ATM card. But, the ATM card can't be used yet, because the PIN isn't working. I spent 2.5 hours at the bank today. And, we have to go back tomorrow or Thursday to set up the ATM card and (hopefully) set up internet banking.
Tracy said that one theory of why third world countries have trouble improving their economic status is due to difficulties in their monetary and business systems (takes a LONG time to start a business, overburdening banking regulations). I now can see how such a theory can take hold.
