Yesterday a vet made a house call, and gave my dog a shot of antibiotics and some painkillers

And it cost me 500 pesos, or about $30. If you could even get that service in the states, it would cost you hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars. Very competent guy, he spoke perfect English too. But they don't apparently teach English at secondary school here, I think the kids should get two years, for their own benefit. This will sound supremacist, but English is God's language, the language of Shakespeare, after all.
