    Good hairdresser anybody!?!?

    I've had cuts with Raymond also and he's great. Also, don't know if he travels as I went to him, but it was worth it - I thoroughly recommend him.

    Fish Restaurant

    Have been there many times. It's simply wonderful - and guess what - it's not expensive at all! Maybe prices have increased (I'm sure as it's Bs As) but the last time I was there was about 3 months ago and I got the special - set menu - as I wanted everything on it. Beautiful bread selection to...

    Visas! Please respond quickly! Thanks!

    I've lived in Bs As for the last 5 years. And have flown in and out of BA more than 10 times during this time and NEVER had a return ticket out - and NEVER been asked anything. However, the issue is if - the airline you are bording with in another country has an issue with the fact that you need...

    OSAMA BIN LADEN Killed by USA

    Come on Orwellian, just drop it! Like you, I had doubts last night until more information has surfaced today. It's pretty cut and dry now. Is it necessary to keep pushing the same issues over and over? Even when you're fighting an up hill battle! Like always you are resorting to anger and...

    overstay tourist visa

    holliegolightly, I must confess, In my ignorance, I did not read your email well. On re - reading I see that you say he confirmed that people on European or American passports were ok. I have neither of these. As I read quickly, I think I assumed it meant - all non Merco Sur. Personally, I...

    overstay tourist visa

    Hey holliegolightly, that is fantastic news. I just wish it had been passed on to other migrancione officials when I got my deportation notice 18 months ago. So, I guess I'm saying, it depends on the person you talk to, depends on the day, depends on their mood, depends on many variables. So...

    san cristobal

    Just another perspective, I don't live there but I have had classes there for the past 4 years. 2 days per week in the day, and once per week at 7pm. And the truth is - it's a wonderful part of town and I enjoy it a lot. At night when I leave classes, (especially in winter when it is dark) I...
