haha. I'm surprised they had them in Tingo Maria. It's not the best tea and it does different things to different people. I get altitude sickness when I go up that high.

I drank the coca tea for a month before I actually asked what is was. I dont like it much but I believe in being a good guest so I eat and drink any thing that is put in front of me. I dont ask questions.

In reality it doesnt do a single thing for me I told my wifes family after a while that its not my favorite thing to drink and now they dont serve it to me

As soon as you are able to print off the cover sheet for the DS-230 after paying for it you can send in the DS-230 . All you need is the cover sheet to send in with the aplication. My DS- 230 is already completed and I have not recieved a hard copy. I think if you email the DS3032 you dont get a hard copy confirmation of the DS-230 but I may be wrong. I have not revieved one any way
