Take a crossword puzzle magazine. It has answers in back,you don't need a dictionary. Also, magazines and paperback books are great-- tear pages out as you read to lighten your bag. You can get more for return trip. Since it is school you probably know everyone. A do-it- yourself thing is car/boat/bus bingo. On plain paper draw squares like a bingo card and fill each square with something usually seen on a trip such as bridge, river, school bus, eagle, red Volkswagen, hitchhiker, police car,etc. Use your imagination! Everyone makes one out for someone else to check off items as seen. 1st one completed wins!

you need: ipod-you can get them at the apple store, best buy, circuit city) snacks (gum, chips, etc)-any convenient store books/ magazines-book stores people to talk to-friends!!

Wow. . . long journey! you'll definitely need to bring an extra change of clothes, hairbrush, toothbrush, and stuff like that. Any new books you're interested in? I'd recommend bringing several, because if there was ONE that you were really interested in, you're sure to fly right through it! Otherwise, magazines are life savers. . . and they're cheap, too! Just stock up on a ton of those, maybe 10 or so. Do you have an iPod or mp3 player? The time will fly with one of those babies! If not, a portable radio is a must. If you can't get your hands on one of those, maybe a portable CD player. if you don't have one, maybe a friend does. Make sure to stay comfortable: you've got to sleep some time! If you have a favorite blanket, bring one of those. I have a few fleece tie-blankets and they are so comfy! A pillow should be handy too. I also like to bring along something like a teddy bear. Yeah, i know it sounds stupid, but they're soft, and sometimes it's nice to have them along, like if a friend gave it to you. Do you own a laptop? I highly doubt you'd be able to get wireless signal unless you have one of those portable internet devices from AT&T or Verizon Phone services. You could bring along a few DVDs, or maybe a computer game like Sims or Sims 2 to keep you entertained. Don't forget the cell phone! They are a must for travel. You can text with friends, or if you need something, or there's an emergency, they are SUPER handy. Some other miscellaneous items you could bring are. . . crossword puzzles PSP or Gameboy Sketchpad and pens or pencils

Bring some. Coloring books and paper. An mp3 plyer if you have or an iPod. To listen to music. Bring a gameboy or something. Your cellphone to txt mssg your friends. Or a puzzle. Bring whatever you do when you're at home

elections: president elected by an electoral college consisting of both houses of parliament and 58 regional representatives for a seven-year term; election last held 13 May 1999 (next to be held May 2006); prime minister appointed by the president and confirmed by parliament
2 :
in Italy there's a proportional electoral system (there was a majority one, but has been changed very recently), it's very similar but has some differences between the two chambers (one has a prize for the coalition who wins the elections, the other no) ; the whole system is very complicated and has been changed from the actual government because of theyr fear to lose elections

Milan has lots of shopping but its all the designer stuff which is very experienive. Florence has some awesome shopping at the maket its called San Lanzo market. they are good priced and lots of stuff. night-life they have pub crawls in florence and a lot in rome but you might be to young for them. About the tat and piercing I would never do it over here They are very costly and they dont have the standards we have in the states. everyone that I know that has gotten them over here they have had problems and I mean major problems. You can meet people in local squares called piazzas. People hang out there all the time. Hope this helps. It usually rains a lot in January to so bring some rain gear.

hi!! i live in rome, in the evening you must go in campo de fiori, piazza navona, trilussa, ponte milvio, there is a lot of joung people. for shopping went to Via del corso, via ottaviano, via Candia, via Cola di rienzo! you can't do piercing or tattoos if you don't have 18 years old, but if you want to try go to TRIBAL TATTOO.
