(I have the same thing with the Slavic languages.)did you have a nice time in Italy?It was marvelous, thanks. Though I liked Florence much better than Venice, which felt a bit backwater The bike tour across Tuscany and wine & olive oil tasting was great too. I had been told that Italy is amazing, but it still blew me away. You stick your head in a dog kennel: ceiling -- Titian, walls -- Tintoretto! The Italians are my kind of people too. They don't have the whole English bullshit but are neither brash like Americans nor hysterical like Spaniards.QuoteOriginally posted by: tagomaQuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnQuoteOriginally posted by: katastrofaI discovered that I understand Italian quite well.
