another brilliant Italy on a budget idea


.....
5. It is more cost effective to study Italian for two or more weeks than stay in a hostel/hotel as a tourist. If you book with certain language schools they find you crazy cheap accommodation in an apartment with a kitchen etc.

We're off to Siena..... Ciao x

PS. the colour green is definately not associated with sustainability (sostenibilità) here in Florence. I asked in Cafe Verdi (green) this morning and according to the owner Italians would think of Opera (Verdi - ah yes) well before they would think of anything environmental.
See image of Tuscany - verdi si? ;)

  1. Great travel tips Shae! and nice Tuscany piki. I have to say i would agree with the Italians in thinking of the composer before the colour though.
    Being the geek i am i just used google translate to see what green came up as. If you go Italian to english, verdi = green; but if you do english to Italian, then green = verde.

    Next travel tip, just ask the locals!

  2. Hey Shae and Mozza, how you doing babes? I hope all is well and you're having a great time.

    Did you enjoy Rome? It didn't really do it for me.. Little Elly is fine, putting on more weight.. the cat sitters are feeding her salmon and steak... She'll be on Jenny Craig by the time I get her back in two weeks :)
