No insurance, different price. Enough said.<BR/>2. Tuition prices: Local students pay $795 for 4 months at local ESL schools. International students legally here in the states pay over $2,300 for basically the same program, minus a few hours of study a week.<BR/>3. Restaurant prices. The other day I went with a few olleagues from work to a local Peruvian restaurant. After looking at the menus where no plate was less than $12, my hispanic colleague talked to the cashier, saying, "This is a lot of food, don't you have anything more economical for lunch?" and they brought us out a massive to-go box with chicken and pasta, potatoes, a seperate bowl of soup, and a drink, all for about $5. That was what they sold the most, I'm sure.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743014200520715429noreply@blogger.com
