Capo Boi ......I like it !! I don't REALLY understand it all but I THINK it is in general bad news? I arrived here late in 2007, does that mean that I am 23.2% down on my finances (when considering FX transfers) ? Regardless, we're having the life of Riley.................luvving it! S

Hi Brianm, I think it's great that you know who the official agency is........LOT's of people will not know. Pray tell? LOTs of people also have very limited Italian language skills so everything is a challenge. Yes, you could say learn Italian but not everyone is able to - for many reasons. S
