    Guys.... we love you and your videos. My wife and I, we live in Sydney she was borne there, I am full imported from Catania "Ognina", a fiew minutes from the (lungomare), a little paradise since the old time where the nobles, had they holyday houses and Gardens. I wish i could writ a lot more in details, , and coming along with your beautiful subject today in this video, especially, and all the rest of them . One thing I would like to stress out though , is that I appreciate you like Sicily and Italy in general.. It's not the dollar that feels the "soul", but .. "I sapori, il clima, ed il calore della gente", Yes it's true. Like Naples,... in Catania they may go for your wallet , but in case of needs , people come in a hundred's to help if you fall, to stop a dispute, and finish it off with a Coffey in a bar.... As that old Neapolitan song says ... : " MO TENGO QUALCHE DOLLARO.... E ME PARE DI NON ESSERE STATO MAI TANTO PEZZENTE.... L' America..... e` in Italia.!! The beauty of Australia where I live, as a new fresh country , is that we acquire the European system in medical health assistants ( fixing you up first, flying you to the best and appropriate hospital for your needs in all Europe), and aske questions later. When.... in some part of this world...." not mention where".... if you don't have money in your pocket, or a credit card.. they leave you in the gutter... and no mentioning gun lows.... You are doing a great work , please keep it up. :)

    Yes. You need lots of patience...nothing gets done fast! But. Italians KNOW how to enjoy your life!! So it's all worth it!! Great video!!!

    Great points! I do know packing patience is probably the number one tool anyone living in Italy needs to bring. I take after my Italian mother and have the teeniest head and smallish feet and small hands, so I can never find any hats or gloves and even adult glasses that fit me. Always buy those things in Italy, which fun to do anyway. 😁

    Hello, my husband and I moved to France from the US, probably about the same time you moved to Sicily, so a lot of things in this video are very similar to our experiences in France- restaurants hours, pharmacies, bureaucracy, etc. We watched your videos for the first time 2 weeks ago, as we were planning a trip to Sicily. We enjoyed them very much, and when you mentioned that you were going to be traveling during the holidays, we were hoping maybe we'd cross paths as we visited Taormina, Etna, and Siracusa/Ortigia last week. (We didn't visit Catania because we rented a Fiat 500)
    We loved Sicily, and can understand your affection. We feel the same about the little village where we live in France, Tourrettes sur Loup. Thank you for your videos, and we wish you a happy new year!

    Install the Ufficio Postale app on your phones and book your post office appointments so you can skip the endless lines!
    1. You might want to try booking at midnight because all the available spots get booked pretty soon.
    2. The ladies standing in line are definitely gonna stare at you thinking you're skipping their line, but you're not! haha The app bookings get a separate line (in case you've already noticed numbers with different letters on the screen at the office, those are what they're for)
    Greetings from Monreale, very interesting channel and lovely couple! 😊

    Wow, actually sounds like waiting here at the DMV or social security office. Has been bad here in the suburbs of Las Vegas. Many people moving here and lots of road work too. Crazy times.
    The hairdo looks great Eszter. 👍❤💐 Thank you for another great video.

    You are right about eating late BUT what you left out is that most of these people have a little meal at 6 or 7 PM and that holds them until 11 PM when they have a big meal. Dont think these guys are fasting because they are not.

    Great program. Thank you! Question: What company are you using for cashback credit cards that DON'T charge a foreign transaction fee? We only have 8 weeks until we move to Sicily, and we need to get these asap. Thanks in advance!! :-)

    I rented a car in Palermo for a month. About three years ago. Prior to coming back home to America. We got to the airport early, there was no one to inspect the car. So we dropped off the key at the office and the guy said no problem. Everything‘s OK! No sooner before boarding my plane I got a Message from the car rental office that we owe them $680 for damages. Needless to say we did not pay it. And the credit card company fort for us.
