Spanish Language School??
Can any of you guys recommend a Spanish Language School in Lima? I am considering going to Lima and spending the mornings in Spanish classes and then use the afternoon/evenings for exploring the city - etc. Of course I can do an internet search and find some choices, but I hoped some of you might have some experience in this area.
Thanks,

budget massage /revital spa
Ive been a little lazy these past few days sticking with what I already know. However today I went to check out a few new things.
I went to another cheapo massage place located in a galeria very close to the entrance where plaza san martin meets with the pedestrian street jr. de la union.
Go to plaza san martin (combi todo arequipa from miraflores to paradero colmena in lima centro then walk up six blocks to the entrance of jr de la union). Look to your right hand side as you walk into jr de la union and go into the second mall/galleria . It will say something like plaza vendata or something close. Go dowstairs to the right and look for shop #402. There is a reflexology sign downstairs. The cost is 15 soles($5) for a pretty decent 20 minutes (long) massage with baby powder. I asked about extras and she said no but I think something could be arranged. After all they do advertise in trome newspaper.
The massage was actually better than what I was getting in beauty salons in miraflores for half the cost.
I then took a combi to colonial y faucett because I remember seeing a spa that I had a hunch about. It winds up that yes there was girls there at one point but not any longer. I talked with the guys that were hanging out at the desk and they all motioned me to go to "revital banos turcos" located near cuadra 15 right off of ave. colonial right before ave. penas If coming from plaza dos de mayo. They said the girls were really good there and you pay 20 soles for the massage and like 120 soles for completo. I dont pay those prices for pussy unless I get them to my hotel so I never checked it out.
They never gave me an exact address but they said most cab drivers know it .
I also asked a cab driver about going to the chongo de huachipa and he said it was a 30 soles cab ride from el centro and about 45 minutes away. I would like to check this place out. It sounds like a san jose type brothel but Im not paying 20 dollars for cab fare. I have no idea how to get there by combi.
Ill add this to my lima list.
I need to poll the experts:
Subtitled: I can´t resist a girl in uniform.
I need some input/feedback from the Lima experts here.
So there I am, minding my own business in the hotel, when a gorgeous lady cop starts walking toward me. The white patent leather belt and gun holster, with the black boots up to just below the knee, made me start to melt.
She told me that she just wanted to say she overheard me speaking and compliment me on my Spanish. Well, one thing led to another and we exchange contact info and agree to meet for lunch in an hour.
We meet and she says she has to stop at a store to pick up a gift for her friend that she saw yesterday on the way, so we stop at this frame store. There´s a long argument between her and the proprietor about the price and she says she´s sad and finally turns to leave. I ask her what´s wrong and she says that the guy told her it was 30 soles yesterday but today it´s 50 and she is 20 soles short. Well, of course I offer to make up the difference, she of course says no no, I of course insist, etc., etc.
Then we go to lunch, which I paid for and would always expect to pay for. Then she had to go to her precinct to change and get ready for school, where she says she´s studying English and wants to get into the hotel business. We agree to meet tomorrow on her beat somewhere else in Miraflores.
So you probably already know my question: Have I been had? Or have I just been to Cuba too much?
Thanks guys.
