Moved from London to Italy - looking for work by sozkec
Greetings to all readers, I have recently moved from London to Italy (Montecchio) near Pesaro and so I thought I would put a message up on here since I've been here for just over a month now. I am looking for work and would like help, advice or ...

Hi Kev - driving first. Bad news, I'm afraid. They don't recognise your 60% no claims. You'll be starting from scratch. It's called a Bonus Malus here and you'll start on 13 (not the highest but nearly). Why do you want to get an Italian Driving ... Read More
Korean Restaurants by Andy W
Anyone know of any Korean restaurants in/near Milan? I've only ever found one Korean restaurant in Italy and that was in Rome. If someone knows of a place please respond. (Not Japanese or Chinese, I can find those everywhere).
Hi Andy, There is one - somewhere near Viale Abruzzi. I went there once a few years ago but I'm sorry, I can't remember the name or street. I just remember it's in a side street :-( Read More
