Title: Don's Rome adventure
Post by Carmencita on Sep 15^th, 2003, 4:19am

Do you know how a person can feel when anything works in a foreing country? Ask Don Young, he will simply laught.....
The first discovery that susprise him was that his mobil telephone did not works in Italy. Well, not a worrysome discovery, isn't it?
But he had another susprise: his credit card did not also works in Italy due to the different way we have in Europe to writte down the expiry date (we put firt the month following by the year)
This surprise was a worrysome one.... he had NO money!!!!!
Now fun begans. Of course he phoned home asking to send some money with Westrn Union (unmentionable so from this moment: The Place). So next morning both together went to the first office we visit: THEY DID NOT HAD CASH TO GIVE DON HIS MONEY.
Second office of The Place: THEIR TELEPHONE LINE WAS FALL DOWN AND THEY DID NOT GAVE DON HIS MONEY.
Third office: IT WAS CLOSED. NO MONEY FOR DON.
Fourth office: DON LOST HIS TRANSFERENCE NUMBER SO THEY COULD NOT GIVE DON HIS MONEY....
Isn't it the worst luck one person can has in a foreing country? He stay 3 days in Rome with only 5 Euros, that he did not need to spend (lucky man???)
Ok, in the fifth visit he was a lucky man: they give him his famous money and it was the last operation they did because THEY DID NOT HAVE CASH AGAIN!!!
Moral: if you are coming Erope check you have money enought and your credit card will work here.
It was very funny for both us.
It was a very nice day we spent together looking for some money.
Regards, Don. I hope to see you next year with your sense of humour intact.
