An Amusing way to learn Spanish - "Gay Spanish for Love + Hookups" Phrasebook
Have a thing for Spanish lovers/a Latin partner? Visiting a Spanish speaking country?
You HAVE to get a copy of:
"Gay Spanish for Love + Hookups"
http://www.gaybabel.net/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2
They also have a combo book in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Czech, and English. Plus one in Italian. One in German and one in French.
Soon they're coming out with one for hetrosexuals (though I found their gay book QUITE helpful and amusing as did my "friends"!!).
Check out their amusing website http://www.GayBabel.net
(NOTE: This is a VERY SEXUALLY EXPLICIT LANGUAGE site so if you have an issue with it, simply don't go there [or get over it and learn some new things!!])

Where to find the OLD FASHIONED TDMA CELL PHONES in Costa Rica
Where to find the OLD FASHIONED/TDMA CELL PHONES:
I spent DAYS trying to find an old fashioned TDMA cell phones (for rent or sale) which at this point, I find BY FAR WAYYYY better than the GSM phones (CR still does not have enough GSM towers to support all the GSM phones out there so I'd say 60% of the time I call someone with a GSM phone I have to redial it a couple/few times before it connects and/or I call someone and they're "out of range") - only to find that THE place to get them were from my neighbors.
Tutto's Celular (2-289-4036 / 8-391-0604)
A Nokias (from what I hear, they are the sturdiest/best AND cheapest!!) withOUT vibration starts at 25,000-c.
Jorge and his son speak a fair amount of English and are REALLY HELPFUL (he can fix most cells himself also!!).
LOCATION: They are located ON Calle Vieja in Escazu (San Rafael) - 1 1/2 blocks West of the ICE office and 1 block East of Calle Country Club on the Santa Ana/Calle Veija bus line that leaves SJ from the CocaCola Building (215-c) and depending on traffic, an EASY ride (car or taxi) from San Jose).
Tell them Vicki sent you!
