    Eating on a budget

    I think the trick is to make food from scratch but not from half-processed things. That is healthier but requires much effort.

    I want to send post cards...

    Is the central post office still operating? I thought it's turning to some concert place? Also if the post cards are sealed in envelopes, i guess the post card won't get its post mark. Only the envelopes will get post-marked, that makes the post card less valuable in my opionion.

    Scam Artist Cab Drivers

    I had a different one: We got on a cab and it took the same route which I took very often. But at every corner the price on the meter is nearly 40-50 percent more than it usually is... And we ended up paying 50% more than usual... I think there's some hidden button he can press to alter the meter.
