Shopping places in New york by mikejame078
Hi guys, which is a good place to shop for clothes in New york. I am going to shift there soon and i want to know beforehand about where i will be shopping.
Depends what you are looking for. Oftentimes a small retailer specializing in particular clothing will offer better prices than a larger or fancier store. These independent stores are literally all over the city, and the trick is to search for them ... Read More

Liz, All of the areas you've already mentioned (Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Soho, Upper West Side) are expensive, and in no particular order. There are always "deals" here and there, but they'll be relative deals, meaning that you might give up on ... Read More

Learning to Speak French by tabby908
I will be moving to Paris in the next year, along with many things to get ready for, the number 1 thing I am focusing on is learning French. I took French in high (10 years ago) I have taken 1 refresher course in college and have visited a few ...

Denmark x things I hate about you by ibrahjette
Let us call a spade a spade. Denmark sucks! Well... sucks most of the time... I am constantly coming up against things that frustrate, annoy, and anger me to the point where I consider my options. Of course there are those moments that make it all ...

Right now Denmark is getting plenty of snow, and there has been snow on the ground since November, but this is highly unusual. Winter is usually not so cold, and it rains rather than snows. I'm sorry I know absolutely nothing about jobs in ... Read More
