2. How to carry large items across town by moto
3. A number of banking tricks to move money where I need it.
4. How to cook on a stove that stays on high without burning my food (most of the time)
5. How to wash large loads of laundry by hand without rubbing the skin raw.
6. How to send text messages on my cell phone (quickly)
7. How to stand my ground
