Buying Foreclosures in Las Vegas Has Never Been Easier!

In its January 11th, 2009 issue The New York Times heralded Las Vegas as its “Frugal Destination of the Year,” proclaiming that “Las Vegas has been buffeted by the economic crisis, and deals are plentiful along the Strip.” According to Dr. R.

I Have Been In Italy For Exactly One Week Now, It Is Time To Start Looking For A Job. How Difficult Is This…

…..going to be? I have enough money to spare to last me around 6 months without a job, and more to get me through an entire year (which is about how long I’ll be staying) but would rather have a job. I’ve now acquired all my legal documents, and now just need the job. Any advice? I must admit, my Italian is poor. I mean, I can work out what people are saying and they can me but it might take a minute or so. Also, my age might have something to do with it…I am only 18. But, since I have been 16 I have worked in a hotel (the same hotel) dealing with the public and working with computers. I’m hoping I might be able to find a job at a hotel here, because I know a bit about it…though, I’m assuming there will be some differences.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Rome is the city I am in. Thanks again.
