Just wanted some insight, I know there are plenty of possibilities. Since I will be teaching in a private (meaning higher tuition) academy, is there an expectation I should attend the same type of school as the parents/families of my students or am I thinking too much about this?
I would like to attend an "influential" church, just because I have some ideas and resources that I would like to contribute...but I am sure there are needs in all of the parishes/churches.

Peter Miami says on Jul 13, 2005, 18:47: I usually buy one when I go there and stay for more than one week. I have had service with Bellsouth, Comcel and Ola. They all where pretty much the same, but the most I have been there at a time has been two to two and a half weeks at a time. So my advice is kind of limited. But they charge according to who you call (it is weird). If you call to the same carrier it will be 600 pesos a minute but if you call other carrier they have different price per minute for different carries; one for 1,200 pesos, another one 1,250 pesos, another one 1,320 pesos per minute. I have not had service with Movistar.

Gator says on Jul 14, 2005, 20:04: From that address .. I guess the school is Gimnasio Inglés. Circasia is a small town north of Armenia so where do you plan to stay? Kinda out in the campos. "Credidi pretio parvo emere et magno vendere tibi in animo fuisse!" . 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

sxrxnnrr187 says on Jul 14, 2005, 20:37: Gimnasio Ingles is one of the best schools in Armenia, I have 2 friends that teach there... Probably the best place to live for u would be near the new mall they made.. Portal del Quindío... and the church I mentioned before Our Lady of Coffee is in the same area...
