| Kazuko (49 years - 31.Oct.2011) 先生のレベルは高かったと思う。. コンドミニアムや送迎を希望する時は、学校に直接頼んだ方が良い。このサイトを使った人に聞いたが、ひどいコンドミニアム(ホワイト・サンズ)を紹介されたが、変えてくれと言ってもらちがあかず、自分で別料金を払って別のホテルに移ったと言っていた。 また$70払って送迎を頼んだのに、誰も空港に来なかったと言っていた。 このサイトを通すと学校に入るお金が少なくなるのでそういう扱いを受けるようです。直接申し込んだ人に聞いたら、快適な所に入っていたし、「頼めば変えてくれる」と言っていました。. | |
| Sara (26 years - 31.Oct.2011) La proximité avec la résidence, l. Si possibilité : visite des îles voisines. | |
