Great helpful responses--thanks to all.
Any other tips? For example, how should I get the basics, now? Should I be
listening to the Living Laguage program that I happen to have? Or what else
would be the best use of my time before I actually go down there? What if
anything should I pack--is there anything that I will wish I had brought
with me?
(BTW, I'm on a friend's box so please ignore the headers)
