Rome, that is. Great city.

But finally, I’m back to the SDMB. So bad luck, guys, the time you didn’t have to hear anything from Schnitte is over.

It was vacation to celebrate my final exams I had finished the week before (except for one oral test that is still to come, June 5).

And I eagerly tried to do it as the Romans do; let the Romans decide whether or not I mangaed to do so 😉
