I forgot to write in that other post about my language issue.. I got laughed at my second day here because I'd been pronouncing "grazie" wrong. Just a heads up for anyone planning to go to Italy; it's pronounced "grat-zee-aye", not just "grat-zee." You don't have to fully enunciate on the "aye", it kind of just fades off at the end, but it's still there! I guess that's pretty important if grazie is one of the five words you know and you say it 100 times a day..
