Indonesia of Europe?

Ok, so I have been sending chaser emails to the Italian Cultural Institute for the past one week. They came back to me telling me that I was due to take off on 21 Feb, which is like next week? WTF?! So anyway, I have asked for a extension and I hope those Romans would oblige.

I remember someone who is Italian himself telling me that Italy is the Indonesia of Europe. The lack of system and organisation is the bane of many. Perhaps that contributes to creativity? The Italians are such an interesting lot.

Now, there's one thing left to do - PACK!
