guylainem123 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 So... i was watching this television show last night called "house hunter international" i'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this show, but it's a show about a family who is moving to another country and this agent shows them homes & by the end of the show, they choose the house they are going to rent. Yesterday, this American family was moving to Sicily. They were shown homes close to Mount Etna. A few questions to my Italian friends... Can you really see the mainland of Italy from the tip of Sicily? In the homes they were shown, they were told that in Italy, it's normal for the previous people to leave with the kitchen. These homes truly had no kitchens left at all, no cupboards, no counters, nothing... just a blank room Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you really see the mainland of Italy from the tip of Sicily? Hi, southern girl here Yes, you can if you're facing the Strait of Messina. This is the view from Messina And this is the one from Reggio Calabria (you can see the Etna in the background) In the homes they were shown, they were told that in Italy, it's normal for the previous people to leave with the kitchen. These homes truly had no kitchens left at all, no cupboards, no counters, nothing... just a blank room Is that true? Well, it's not a rule, but many people want to keep the kitchen and leave with it. You don't do that? I suppose we're greedy people. Edited June 28, 2014 by Log lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave all the cupboards in place... they are actually part of the house when you sell them. also, if we replaced a cupboard with a dishwasher, it is also part of the house. Fridge and stove, you take with you. Though i see they are also starting to include them in the selling of homes. Which sounds weird to me. I wouldn't want to use a fridge and stove that belonged to a stranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to use a fridge and stove that belonged to a stranger It's the same here, we traditionally use fitted kitchens where everything is built to fit that particular space so there's no point to take it with you to your next house/apartment. Fridge and stove are usually always left with the kitchen. It's so typical here that this is actually the first time I hear anyone saying they wouldn't want to use a fridge/stove belonged to a stranger (edit: but of course people clean them very thoroughly after someone else using them, lol!). Decorating styles are evolving all the time though, and these says many people buy colorful/other ways special free-standing fridges they sometimes want to take with them.

When we bought our house there it only had the sink in the kitchen. It still only has the sink. lol. In fact when we bought our house they had also taken all the light bulbs but one.

I always thought it was just a coincidence on the show, being most of these people were renting & not buying homes, but when Nanou came here, she said everything we own is big (ie stoves, cars, fridges etc...)

RayaBadran Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hey I know it has been a billion years since I haven't come over here, but I want to post a video of this Italian pianist/YouTuber named Costantino Carrara. He makes great covers and I have been following him since he's pretty cool and covers pop songs and he's a coldplay fan (hehe like me). But his last video was a cover of Mika's Grace Kelly and I was surprised (and not shocked, since I know Mika has gone massive in Italy, so no doubt it's because of press and X-Factor). Here it is and enjoy it! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think you should (depending on how many days you'll be spending in Denmark) take one day to travel over the beautiful Öresundsbron to the swedish side, visiting Malmö,Ystad or Lund I'll be there for 5 or 6 days. We planned to cross the bridge to the Swedish side, so we will see Malmö and maybe spend a day here I can't wait! I always wanted to go to northern side of EU... in summer we usually go to Greece and though it's beautifull, it sometimes seems the same everywhere.

Good choice Just ask me if you want some advice of what to do and see in Malmö. And since you're going in April, well the weather can be amazing 15-20 C or it could be around 0 C and snow I always wanted to visit the southern parts of Europe. I've only seen the north and as you say after awhile it seems the same Edited February 23, 2015 by Lilasko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneElk Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Uggghhhhhhh Chris Brown is in Montreal tonight, and everyone is soooo happy and jolly and whatnot. Its like they all forgot that he is a terrible person who disfigured his girlfriend... I don't get it. I mean his music style is soo overproduced you can fangirl on a large number of similar sounding artists, but no, you publicly claim you love for a woman beater... it just irritates me to the highest level...

Lilasko Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wow. I really really hope it will be warm Yeah, if you could tell me what to see or do, that would be great! It kind if depends when in April you're coming, the closer to May the warm it will be (probably) You should absolutely visit Turning Torso, the tallest building in Sweden. Then if you want to shop, you should visit Emporia. The biggest shopping mall of the Nordic countries. It's built in 2012 so it's pretty new, and if you go up on top of the roof you get a spectacular view of Öresund, the bridge and Denmark. So I think you should visit even if you don't want to shop. And it's super easy to get there. Then there's the Ribersborg's beach, which is a 2,5 km long beach in the city of Malmö not that far from Turning Torso. Lilla Torg - a beautiful square in the old parts of Malmö with a lot of cafés and restaurants. Malmö Castle - a fortress from the 16th century and nowadays a museum. And if you like art there are som nice art museum in Malmö as well. I know there are Canal Tours' in Malmö but I don't know if you can do them in April. St Peter's church - Malmö's oldest bildning.
