Subject: cheapest accomodation in b.a.

I'm going to be in Buenos Aires from the 15th of December until the
15th of January. Can anyone recommend to me the cheapest place to
stay. I'm used to living pretty rough in Cuba and Ecuador and speak
enough Spanish to survive. I'm confused, in the Lonely Planet Guide
books they list places like the Buenos Aires Hostel on Brasil and
Constitucion for $7 a night. Yet everyone else I ask tells me you can
find nothing for less than $25 a night. $15 a night for a month would
probably be my limit. I don't mind sharing a bathroom and I live in
New York so I'm used to sleeping with a lot of noise from the street.
Also if anyone cares to recommend anything else they think I might
find interesting please feel free to share it. I also would like to
study advanced intermediate Spanish if anyone can recommend a cheap
institution or teacher in b.a..
Thanks in advance
Robin

     You should have stuck to your guns!  As far as I'm concerned, you
cannot "teach" emotion or heart, and any dance teacher trying to do
so is going to be boring, and probably condescending as well.  No thanks,
stick to the technique, teachers, if you don't mind.
