    Esma

    Well someone eventually answered the phone and provided a different number to book a guided visit. The recorded message just asks one to email [email protected]. Will keep trying and hope I eventually receive a response... Tom, I agree that it's a very dark place, and probably...

    text messaging problem

    I don't know which carrier you are with, but I've found that Claro, as unreliable as it can be, is the only one that will successfully send and receive messages from Australia and the UK for me. Apparently there is a charge when you receive txts from overseas. You can pick up an active pre-paid...

    Hello all.

    Hi Sonia! Jason mentioned he was interested in taking photos outside of the city... If you guys haven't been already maybe we could get a group together and go for a cruise along the Trigre Delta. It's not that far and now that it's sunny, it makes for a nice day out.

    Punctuality

    It was meant to offend. He's a big boy and can take it... One of the things I find annoying about the locals (or perhaps it's just my family) here is that they feel they can get away with being inconsiderate, expecting that their behaviour will either be accepted/ignored or, con un poco de...

    Punctuality

    That they were - I think my last txt was something along the lines of "anda cagar, no me gastes mas el tiempo". But everything is fine now I arrived 30 minutes late yesterday and they'd just arrived, so perhaps we've both learnt a lesson. :)

    Punctuality

    It seems fairly obvious to me, that people run on a different time here, and rarely turn up at the originally arranged time, the attitude seems to be we'll get there eventually... But I'm curious as to what is acceptable lateness and when it becomes plain rudeness. I understand that I have to...
