We only do the touristy stuff whilst on holiday - we practice it a bit before we go as well.

We try to learn a little more every year, even tried to get a MUZZY language course in Greek but BBC say no call for it. So back to the dodgy american bloke trying to teach me Greek in the car cd.

Thats to do with house purchase isn't it??
The Sopranos-la miglior serie in TV mai.
Mafiosa , Gomorra e Innan vi dör sono anche due serie eccellenti.
