@thedan84 Where do you have your sights set? Somewhere a little less dysfunctional, like Milan or Turin? My preference might be Bologna.

@matigo Dream on. The secret is to find a place where politics is mostly ineffectual. A good civil service helps.

@thedan84 Yes. In Rome. Been here 16 years.

@matigo That's all true. And you forgot flexible bureaucracy and broken politics. But then there's Street life, and food, and culture, and the weather is actually rather good 48 weeks of the year.

Well, that was a blast. There a big strike of public transport here today, and TMS had to be across town for an important appointment, so I fired up Car2Go and drove us there and back in a Smart car. The Car2Go technology is pretty amazing and very usable. The Smart car takes a little more getting used to, but also works just fine.

@matigo They are huge, like no olive trees you've ever seen.
