Perfect Spanish!
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007
The other day I was in a Mexican restaurant trying to choose order dish…since I don’t know much about Mexican food (Paraguayan food is totally different), I asked in Spanish the waitress details about their menu.

May 15th Independence Day (…a little bit of history behind it)
Monday, May 14th, 2007

I tried pinzoo, ipsmile and some cards like uni Washington […] -
