Observations on Italy (WebWord) -- "From 9-April-2003 through 16-April-2003 I was in Italy visiting my brother-in-law. He is currently a Master's student in the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of the Johns Hopkins University. We mainly spent time in Sicily (Siracusa and Taormina), Bologna and Rome. Here are some of my raw impressions of Italy. Enjoy!"

Hey,
I will be in Italy from the 15th of may to the 9th of june, whats the best way to get connected in Florence? Is WiFi (free or paid) available? I have to work a little while im there, it would be nice to do it in a cafe! I still haven't purchased a way to connect my PocketPC, so I am up for any suggestions. I guess my options are modem, nic card, or wifi. Now to read the article and find out that my questions were answered, and i diddn't need to post this!

Regarding #15 on the list - Richard Feynman tells a funny story about how he started up a conversation with an Italian scientist he saw at his workplace from time to time Although his side of the conversation was in entirely made-up Italian words, the man spoke back to him in Italian every time! He later found out that the man had simply assumed he was speaking another dialect of Italian, so just answered good-naturedly even though he didn't understand a word. Too funny.
