    Japanese Yuko Hair Straightening.

Regarding Cordoba city, I've seen a few good ones on the pedestrian precints, actually their range seemed to be wider than their typical equivalent in BA as they had goods from neighbouring provinces as well as from Chile...

    My 13yo Nephew Robbed - Unusual Method

    I'm so sorry for your poor nephew too! A couple of years ago, a student of mine warned me about a tea towel seller that had snatched her mum's mobile phone and walked off as if nothing had happened. The woman, however, was brave enough to chase him and got her mobile back but she was shocked...

    Hominis Insurance-OBGYN

    What plan do you have? I've had a wee peek at their medical directory online (Cartilla, cuerpo medico) and all I saw in most of the plans was the Sanatorio Guemes which is actually OK as far as I know. I've got this clinic in my healthcare directory and even though I've never been there myself...
