He does a little funny act but all he says os 'guarda, guarda' over and over again. He is funny the first time, but when you often go there for a drink and you are seeing him do the SAME thing for the 100th time it is not so funny. He forgets it is not just tourists here in Rome, but us who live here who want a bit of busking variety!Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-71096092370553705152008-05-23T08:35:00.000+02:002008-05-23T08:35:00.000+02:00ninety9 - grazie.

I live in the historic center of Rome so property values and rents are not going down any time soon. This is great news for my landlord. For me not so much. Does your boyfriend have family here? What parts of Italy would you like to visit. For such a small country there is a lot to see. <BR/><BR/>ms. violetta - that is funny! I don't feel so bad about my eggs expiring here. The birth rate in Italy is the lowest in Europe. No one thinks it's weird that I don't have kids. America has the highest birthrate in the Western world. <BR/><BR/>A tuscan - haha!!!<BR/><BR/>dmarie - I think the kid gets over because he young. The mime is really aggressive.
