My english teacher tells me that it costs between 300 and 600 bucks to have a baby here. Everything included. I guess a lot of Nortamericanos come down here at about 9 months and pay a little more (700-800 dollars) and get the full treatment - private room, private nurse, 5 day stay, etc. They have the baby, then fly back up.
What say you, my baby-considering friends up there in the US? Want to come and visit?
For all those who are not thinking of babies, consider these things - a dentist visit and cleaning for under $10, fillings for $20, full surgery for under $100 . Laser eye surgery for $75.
Now you canīt serve God and mammon, but Iīm dutch! I was born to be cheap!
Wow... I'd be a little scared to get eye surgery for $75.

But, full sergury for only a $100, its a great deal, but....do they even sterolize the tools? I ebt they don't. Plus, the laser eye surgery its a great deal, if I needed laser vision correction my butt would be on a plane to Honduras taking a huge risk, which oine would ya rather do spend like 1 grand on surgery and have a safe doctor, or pay $75 and take the risk? I would take the risk. Well, gotta run, talk to ya lata!
PEACE!
And as you can tell my spelling and gammer is a little off.....OK it's WAY off....you got to admit I try. :'-(

Your stories are so funny. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Don't worry, Rachel; it's just as cheap to stay at home (in the States) and have the baby. ;-) A _little_ more convenient, too.
