Alomaja Hello Amy,I'm looking to learn the Lao Language and go at it 100%. I'm 27 and curtrnely live and work in South Florida. I was trying to find out information on learning the Lao Langauge at any schools in the area,I didn't find anything, but I did run into the LaoStudies website and found your blog. I was wondering if you had any pointers on how to go about learning the language. I would love to do a program like you're doing and just immerse myself in the country and language. Do you know anyone that might have any info on places or schools where I can learn the language possibly down here in the Florida area? I've looked into some TESL opportunities as well. Any kind of info would be great.Pe@ce,Loren

Marta Honey I would suggest you check withAir New ZealandUnited AirlinesQauntas Airlinesas they all offer scrviee to New Zealand and often offer last minute or low season sales.Tips on Saving Money on AirfaresThe staff of Airfarewatchdog has gathered tips on how to find low fares using the Internet. The game keeps changing, but here is our best thinking to date: our top ten tips to snag low airfares.Don’t assume that Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia, and Sidestep all have the same fares.They don’t. Especially on international fares, one of these online travel agencies could have a fare several hundreds less or higher than another. One summer, Travelocity was selling seats to London on Virgin for $400-$470 round-trip, taxes included, from east and west coast cities, even for peak summer travel. Those fares were only available on Travelocity, not Orbitz or Expedia (they weren’t even available on Virgin’s own site). So check all the online agencies, and use multi-site search engine like Kayak and Booking Buddy.Also, most online travel agencies such as Expedia exclude many of the smaller discount airlines such as Virgin America (which was recently added to Travelocity) and Orbitz only recently added JetBlue.Search airline sites individuallyIncreasingly, airlines have “private” sales, reserving their very best fares for their own sites. With the exception of Southwest, which sells fares on its own site exclusively, most of the airlines that do this are smaller domestic airlines or large international carriers, but we’ve even seen Delta do it, and we’re not talking here just about last minute weekend fares. Alaska, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Jetblue, Malaysia, Frontier, Qantas, Singapore, SAS, Virgin America, and others are using this strategy. Spirit Airlines frequently has one cent, one dollar and other crazy low fares on its site only.Good Luck!

Raja I particularly liked how they also ievnlvod Apolo Anton Ohno, a non-racing Subway endorser, and how found a fun way to show off the Subway Dunk Fresh game with Blake Griffin (you can read more about this campaign at the Blogs with Balls blog).
Antoan Having grown up in the great plains of the USA, I can tefitsy that people who live with snow every day of the winter are no less stupid.The ice-covered windscreen with a peep-hole is de riguer, as are bald tires and dark headlamps.

re: vang vieng, LaosBadou Sorry, to say this, but that was a sexual asualst. If you did that to a woman and she wasn't happy about it, you would be arrested. If you feel unhappy about what happened you could report her.
re: Taupo, New ZealandSara Most likely, you will traevl through Los Angeles. It's roughly 14 hours from Sydney to LAX, and another 3 and a half to 4 hours from LAX to Mexico City. Returning from Lima, again you will likely go through LAX although it's about 8 and a half hours from Lima, Peru to LAX and then 14 hours back to Sydney. This is just the flying time and it depends on how long the connection at LAX is. Also this assumes that they're going through LAX but otherwise they'd have to make 2 connections and it would take longer.
re: Sydney, New South WalesMirella I didn't get this invite from OU. maybe they don't like me LOL!!I wish I'd known, bescaue I would definately have gone. I had a similar trip arranged for last summer, but a friend pulled out at the last minute, so I ended up not going.I'm sure it will help with the essay so much. There is nothing like getting a true feel' for somewhere to be able to write about it.

re: Ko Phi Phi, ThailandEnes This is the right weblog for adynoby who wants to search out out about this topic. You notice so much its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would want…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply nice!
re: Ko Phi Phi, ThailandPaaola Gumpher, There was no farting. My osmtach can digest cardboard. I don't often feed it cardboard but .HC, tell us about this strange fascination you have with Anne Robinson. How long have you seen her in this way? Have you been imagining her in naked repose often? *shudder* Please tell me your Watchdog! inclinations aren't really Anne Robinson-related!Bulldog, I've been riding bikes for *whispers* a long time. Ironically it's the car drivers who are more dangerous but the bike riders who pay the cost.Annie, The browser crash' isn't a crash, that's how it is supposed to look. I love playing with my cursor in that screen. Nearly the time of year to put away the bike fantasies though, it'll soon be too cold and slippery.
