BlackBerry Italy’s PR head, Cinzia Liguori, very kindly let me have a BlackBerry Bold smart phone to play with. Now that I’ve had the Bold for a year, I thought it might be interesting to write about my experience of using a BlackBerry smart phone in Italy. Overall, I have to say that I have found the BlackBerry incredibly useful. Being able to use email, surf the internet, interact on Facebook and Twitter wherever I find myself, has been very handy indeed. I guess it would be...

Alyssa has a good question for our Ask the Expat series:Hello! I saw your blog and wanted to ask about running in Turkey. I am a 26-year-old female training for a 10-mile race. I will be visiting Turkey for 12 days right in the middle of my training and wanted to ask about safety and appropriateness of me running through the streets in Turkey. I have been to other Middle Eastern countries where this is completely inappropriate. I would appreciate any advice you can give. Is this...

Today, and I caught it, Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi held a press conference at which he neatly laid the blame for the election mess upon the shoulders of others. At the same time, Berlusconi attempted to put an end, once and for all, to all the confusion surrounding the election muddle in Rome. Only the attempt seems to have led to further confusion. During said press conference, during which, incidentally, Italy’s defence minister manhandled a journalist who insisted...

This post is setting the record straight. I wrote the post Expat's Bad Day in an attempt to let other expats know that they are not alone, we all have 'those days'. I was drawing on my own experiences as well as experiences I have heard from other expat friends and read on other expat blogs.So before you kind, generous, truly thoughtful readers worry about me too much... I offer you the Expat's Good Day post! This post is more personal. It is also drawn on others' stories but I have...

Cheerios: Unbelievably expensive comfort food When an expat has a bad day it may be a normal bad day (food off because someone left the fridge door open all night, cat sick on the keyboard, no hot water for showers for smelly, moody teenagers) or it may be a uniquely Expat Bad Day, the kind your 'local friends' might struggle to understand.A Expat Bad Day falls into one or more categories. Below are some from my experience as well as other friends and bloggers (you are not alone!):1) The...

What I love about Italy: Feste I don't think the Professor will agree with me about my love for Italian feste. He is the kind of guy who would say they are frivolous or excessive (all the while choosing 7 k turkey for Thanksgiving for dinner for four). I disagree and live by the following rule of thumb: Give me a festa and I'll celebrate. I can make feste from half-birthdays and you-got-dumped days to wisdom-teeth-removal and bad hair days. Italy is strapieno with feast, saint and...
