There is a lot of petty crime, like pickpocketing, but not much major crime that I could tell. Keep a wide assortment of bill sizes on hand because if you give too big of a bill, instead of making change, they will just run away.

You have a good itinerary. Most of the things to see are in Rome. Don't miss the coliseum and Vatican. I thought the catacombs were lame.

The biggest surprise was Pisa. The rectory adjacent to the leaning tower has harmonic acoustics. One guard, (the fat one) could sing in harmony with the building acoustics and made his voice sound like twenty men. It was an experience of a lifetime.

Naples has Pompeii. Try to spend several hours there. You won't regret it. Try, as best as possible, to learn how much different things cost before you go.

It is one of the best places to visit in the world.

Has anyone ever tried kissing their own elbow?

u arent too old 4 me...if u are a good crazy guy...lol

funny u look for info about italy from american ppl instead of a pure italian like me...

Im a newbie and read this post. Thanks!

always tell people you are broke and they won't ask to borrow

I read over your profile. I am a graduate student and plan on going on to get my PhD. So take it from a single mother that is doing this, wait until you are firmly into your doctoral program before even thinking about starting a family.

Don't let them pressure you! Just keep reminding them that you are focused on your education (and future career) and when the right person comes along, then they will get grandbabies, until then tough luck!

Keep doing what you are doing! Best wishes to you!

or you could do it from your phone when your bored like me....or just stay on it for years......the point is if you dont join in threads or create your own here and there it is harder for people to get to know you...thats all..

No, they've given up. Actually, they never did--they always figured when it was right, it would happen. I'm lucky that way

sex and love....i'd live only for them

you could do that...it might help your studies

are there any little ones in your extended family that your parents etc can spoil? seems like that's what they are waiting for now that you are all grown up

I've never wanted kids. The one and only time my Mom asked me about kids, I said, "You want grandkids so badly YOU have them!"

She never bothered me again.

I it find objectionable when people that think procreation is the only station in life and push their beliefs on others. Just because it’s a good idea for them doesn’t mean the whole world wants to breed too.

Tell them to mind their own business.

BTW, you are right on target about finding the right girl first. If a person can't even manage a life-long partnership than they certainly can't manage a commitment in having kids with an ovary or sperm donor.

I have a kid so now all my family ask is when I'm going to move out lol
