Love it. Have you ever been there? I mean been as in lived there for more than a day?I can tell you. It is one of the most dangerous and crime stricken places in Italy. Whoever thinks in buyin there for investment without living in Italy must have his head examined by a specialist.

How does $950 turned down to $900 "combat poverty" ?How does a computer per student make an education revolution?How will sinking the country into billions of debt help the economy?It is not spending but earning that must be stimulated.

All dutifully overpriced of course and covered with a thin veneer of extra quality aura, in order…[Read more]

I really enjoy it and the people I cook for think I am a real chef. Go figure. What I noted as soon as I started, was that even if I followed the recipe to the letter, using a scale and accurate measurements, the end result was slightly different every time. Some times even very different. So I…[Read more]

Prices went up and down and up again. You have to watch it to who you rent in Campbelltown since there is a good proportion of housing commission houses and tenants doing the rounds and the runs. The agents in Campbelltown are the pits, avoid large rental property portfolios like the plague. Look for the small…[Read more]
