I'm in Italy right now and  my providercan't solve a technical problem started last weekend... actually I lived my firt offline week after 15 years and I understaood something: off line Italy sucks (ok if you like old buidingds and dead people paintings it can be a paradise...) !!

During carnival time in every italian city there is a parade with thousand costumed participants and dozens of floats bearing papier-mâché figures  and performing artists. This year the city of San Benedetto featured a float with a big Super Mario sculpture that won he first price: finally Italy is celebrating the biggest national hero (I'm still puzzled why the Super Mario Theme should be the Japanese anthem and not the Italian one!)


Note: I found this few days ago on an Italian blog and I will post the link as soon as I find it... Yes, I'm getting old or maybe in the last 20 years I went to (way) to many raves... gomenne!
