Personal comments

Every neighbourhood has one day in the month to put furniture outside, so that the cleaning service comes to pick it up. This is a way to find free furniture for your house. You will be surprised to see the good state most furniture is still in when people put it outside.

spanish is one of the languages teached in the university, and it is teached by native teachers, so whenever there were language problems they were strongly envolved in solving them.
