Ay! So much to learn!
What is the slang that YOU use for money (dinero) in your country?
Here is what I found for the Cuban dialect: moneda, baro, chavito, divisa, fula, dolars, peso, plata, melon, moni, guanikiki, lana, pasta, yira.

Yeah....for beer we just say:
Cervesa, una Fria o lo llamamos por el nombre. jaja
or to hint that we want a beer we might say something like:
"Estoy Seco!" jaja

I hope everything goes well for you. It must be stressful, whatever it is. I'm on Spring Break right now... a little fun and way too much work. Enjoy yours but be safe and smart!

Okay.... that's not too bad. I just want to tell you that I didn't call the cops.... it wasn't me! Not this time. They patted you down because of your music? Sounds like profiling to me.
Say no to drugs, dmoney.... stay clean. You are a very smart person. The world needs your brain intact! Get high on music!

Well, hope it'll go fine for you; keep us informed, ok?

That sucks bro....But at least you get to live up Spring Break! You live to fight another day! lol.....
You need to invest in something called Dynamat! Look into it....it'll reduce your risk of getting charged with Disturbing the peace! Not only does it reduce the vibrations on the metal it also deepens the bass and kicks it back into the car! 
Chota for us is a Snitch. We call cops...La Jara!

lol....you'll be called a Chota for calling La Jara! lol
yeah Dynamat is great...but not easy to install...you literally have to strip the car down to the metal...and apply the mat......but it's a small price to pay for the outcome!
