...do as the Romans do. And alas, I do not believe many Roman's play counter-strike. With that said, I'M GOING TO ROME FOR THREE WEEKS.. and I leave TOMORROW! AH!
I'll be studying International Branding (as a kicker to the degree I just got.. it's a huge resume booster to have studied abroad in the communications industry.) As well as taking in the culture... I'm so pumped.
So I'll be on sabbatical from CS for the next few weeks, so to speak. I don't know how great the internet connection's going to be where I'll be stayiing, but I'll try to post some pictures and what not while I'm there!

Ha gratzie, Ozone. I'm banking on the fact that Rome is one of if not the top tourist destination in the world, so most everyone will speak English. So I've learned the most important phrase that a 'stupid american' can know for travels.
"Me despiache che non parlo italiano, parla inglese?" or "I'm sorry, I don't speak italian, do you speak english?"
That way they know I'm not a pompous dick who expects them to speak my language. lol
It was good playing a couple rounds with you last night man!

Nice playing with you the same, hopefully I can get on more after we get unpacked.
We did Paris, Amsterdam, etc years ago and most people there speak fluent English.

Gracias fella's.. I'll post more 'tourist' shots when I get them.. but I've yet to have an excursion solely to take pictues.. that's when the good 'artistic' pictures will be taken. *hopefully*. Also, this weekend I'm taking a trip to Cinque Terra.. and next weekend to Ponza.. give those to areas a google search... I ..... CAN'T..... WAIT....
