only thing that you should not study in Italy is the medicine, there is not good. Then as regards the other is not bad, only that the work is not easy to find, but then today it is not easy to find it anywhere
2 :
There is an Italian university specialized in foreign students. It is at Perugia. In your Italian is not perfect, go there, as in other public universities it is required to be fluent in Italian language, even for a degree in English language. I don't know if there are American or British Universities in Italy. In Italian Universities there are two kinds of students: 1) Students from poor countries (third world), that haven't enough good universities at home, or that are excluded by home universities for any reason. They study any kind of subject. 2) Students from rich countries, that want to specialize in ancient history, or Italian culture, or classical music, or catholic religion. (Almost) no one comes to Italy from a rich country to study law or engineering or medicine or science.

If you go to university in Italy and become an M.D. are you only qualified in Italy

If you go to university in Italy and become an M.D. are you only qualified in Italy?
I'm a Canadian girl who's going into grade 12. I love Italy and I speak Italian, and I would love to live there someday. I don't know exactly how the Italian university system works, but assuming it is along the same lines at North American universities, if I get my Bachelor of Science in Italy, and attend medical school, go through residency, etc., and became a doctor in Italy, does that mean I'd be able to be a doctor ONLY in Italy? If for some reason I wanted to move back to Canada, would my qualifications no longer be sufficient in Canada? And the same goes for if I did all my schooling in Canada. Would I be able to be a doctor in Italy (assuming I spoke Italian well enough)? Thanks.

You're in Canada, so I don't know the specifics. In the US, you'd have to get your non-US degrees evaluated and declared equivalent to regionally-accredited ones of similar designation in the US; and you'd have to take some exams -- maybe some additional courses -- and do some internship and residency... ...but, after passing at least one medical licensing exam after all that, you could become a physician in the US if you were once one in Italy. It's just a MAJOR (and costly) pain in the rear. I presume Canada is the same, but some Canadians here who know will need to chime-in. Hope that helps.

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
4 :
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.
2 :
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.

What kind of knife roll should I buy for a short term cooking class

What kind of knife roll should I buy for a short term cooking class?
Im studying at a culinary school in Italy this summer, it's only for a month. Im going to get a knife set and was told I need a knife roll. when I looked up knife rolls, I found that they range in price big time. Im wondering if the cheaper ones are too flimsy, I dont want the knives to pierce through the roll and mess it up, or rub against each other and dull. I dont think i should get knife guards because I don't know exactly what sizes my knives are going to be... I've narrowed it down to the economical Messermeister for $25 http://www.cutleryandmore.com/details.asp?SKU=1294 or the cute and sturdy looking (thicker material and extra strap to hold the knives) Dickie's for about $56 http://www.knife-depot.com/knives-338.html pretty big range in price, is the more $ worth it? I've never had a knife set or knife roll. I dont plan on being a chef. But as an average person who looves to cook- how often do normal people use their knife rolls ? Are they useful or waste of space? I was not told how many knives I was going to get, but because it is only for 1 month I'm sure the 8 pocket roll should be enough
