My monedero card failed and I had to get it changed. I went to the Monedero central at Tribunales. The girl there was very helpful and gave me a new card and transfered my money on to it. The point of all this? Well it says on the card Sube and Monedero. I hope that clears it up.

I am loving this thread. I was brought up in 1950s Britain, only just out of rationing and nothing is ever wasted in our houshold. They say that out of every pound spent on food 15 pence is wasted, well it neverhas in our house. Maybe that is why a poor electricista from Gales can buy a...

Was he riding a bicycle and wearing a string of onions?

You asked in another post What brought people here? That is the crucial difference. To be attracted here rather than driven out. Those who run away will always in the end be caught. I am here only temporary as I work in The UK, my advice "never burn your bridges" Heaven can turn to hell after...

Not quite off subject, but what is it with dogs? They are built with fur coats, they cross the artic no problems. Yet here they dress them up in anoraks when the temperature drops below 20. The poor things must be suffering no end. No wonder they shit everywhere, I think I would if I were that...

I found some good designer shops on Santa fe around Callao, but that was a couple of years ago. Nowadays, nothing is cheap here anymore and I bring all my stuff from home.:(

It's all about what you are used to. My friend here would not go out because it was nine degrees at night. We stopped off for an iced cream on the way home. Go to Benidorm in the winter, all the Brits walking around in shorts and tee shirts and all the locals are in their big coats. It is about...
