I am currently on vacation in peru, and am wondering how I can visit english websites. For example, most site automaticly redirect to something in spanish. Is there a way around this for aim.com for example?

    Use an American proxy server, perhaps.

    Most big sites have versions in English.

    Try googling in the site you want to read and changing the language filter in advanced options to English before you hit the search button. You should find the results link to English-version pages.

    Honestly Medhead he's only <i>vacationing</i> in Peru, I think he understands English perfectly fine.

    There’s no need to make up words because you thought it would be funny to play a joke on a foreigner.

    I can't be bothered to clink on random links, especially not ones that clearly lead to some kind of encyclopedia for a satanic cult.

    Honestly, trying to define made up words with fake encyclopedias, you can quit yanking the poor foreigner’s chain now, I think he's caught on to your ploy.

    He's not a foreigner. He's vacationing.

    As if that justifies your two attempts at illicit duplicity, frankly I find your ill manner and total disregard for human life appalling.

    Good Day Sir.
