               Color TV an local calls free. Host rarely stays there.
     LOCATION: Located on major bus line for city, in the city's finest
               neighborhood -- Shadyside. Within 3 minute walk of
               Carnegie-Mellon University and 15 minute walk

               downtown is a 15 mintue (or less) bus ride.
   MAX GUESTS: Two adults. Prefer no children if longer stay.
   MAX LENGTH: 30 days, but could stay longer.
     EXPENSES: Subject to negotiation. I rarely stay at this place and
               if I do while guests are there, there is reduced costs.
               In the past, I have charged visiting grad students at
               CMU a rate of $10.00 to 15.00 per day. Half that for
               each night I stay. Could be free for short stays or if
               I like your attitude!
 EXPECTATIONS: Guest must pay for any long distant calls. Local free.
               I expect guests to act quietly and mature. The building
               houses some older folks who like it quiet.
    LANGUAGES: English. Some Mandarin. Also, since CMU is located so
               close, most likely a person can be found to speak any
               language if necessary!! I know a lot of foreign grad
               students. My girlfiend speaks Tagalog somewhat.
               Her son (ten years old) wants to learn German.
     THE HOST: Single lawyer and PhD student at CMU. Interested in
               other cultures and travel. Raised in the city with
               a large family. Always glad to meet people and help
               them get to know Pittsburgh.
        OTHER: Welcome to the 'burgh!!
