+==== International Dinner ====
+
+FedericoLucifredi and his wife Irena were so kind to invite me at their place for a
+fine dinner with appetizers, SirloinSteak (see pic below), several side
+dishes and... Even a PinotNoir!
+

+
+There were also Mauro -- Federico's colleague at Ximian -- and Irena's
+friend who's a physics professor from Providence and could speak perfect
+French and, surprisingly, even Italian!
+
+What can I say?  I think I got a pound or two that night, but it was
+worth it! :-)

+==== Cinema ====
+
+There's a cinema in building 26 @ EmAiTee, and it's cheap.
+I'm going tonight.
+
+==== Cursious? ====
+
+If you're curious, my room rent is $500 per month.  Utilities,
+ forniture and DSL Internet access are included.
+
+It's not cheap, but it's also not too expensive for Boston.
+They told me that only Manhattan is more expensive here on
+the east coast.
+
+==== CurriculumVitae ====
+
+...is almost ready.  A friend told me that I'd better have
+also a synthetic resume of 1-2 pages for the impatient.
+I think he's right.
+
+Well, I said I'd be finished by last Monday, but then I
+managed to slip past my own deadline visiting NewYorkCity,
+moving in my current room and in other frivolous ways.
+
+Now I have no excuses: the time has come.  Next Monday I
+''will'' write my proposal.  Seriously.

+==== Exchange Rates ====
+
+Looks like I'd better convert all my money to dollars *now*:
