Spanish School / Lodging in Buenos Aires I am planning a trip to Buenos Aires for the last couple of weeks in December and am looking for great one-on-one instruction. Or would a small group be better? Anyway, I am looking at GIC Argentina. They also have a student residence. Any thoughts on this school or others? Any thoughts on student residences, shared flats, hostels or hotels? I might be too isolated in a hotel. I want an environment where I can meet people. I am an advanced beginner right now.By dthf90210 on Jan 21, 10:01 in Travelicious Talkzone |

I was looking at several marriage/friendship agencies in different cities in Colombia and Peru and found that with the recent law that requires for the agency to submit a very personal questionare to the guy looking for a wife is becoming the norm. I also found that even foreign agencies like www.matchingsys.com with no base in the USA are going by this law. Can anyone tell my why they are so scared of this unfair law ?By travel dude on Sep 28, 2007, 15:40 in Travelicious Talkzone |
