The Move Went Smoothly
In my minds eye, I kept seeing my precious dresser and Chinese cabinet falling off the scaffold and splintering into a million pieces. The déjà vu never come to fruition and all went better than expected.
I told the men we had 234 boxes, a bookshelf, a couch, a bed, 2 tables, and 6 chairs and a dresser.
Ci sono due cento trenta quattro scatole, un liberia, un divano, un letto, due tavole and sei sedie e un armadio.
Upon hearing the number of boxes we had, they called 2 more guys. In about 3 hours the container was unloaded. Most of the boxes were placed in the apartment but some boxes and items were placed in the garage. We also have a cantina, a basement storage room, where we will be placing the boxes and packing paper for future use. Like a friend of mine said and I quote her “We need many saints here in Italy to combat the stupidity and bureaucracy.”

ehm... boxes in italian is "scatole" (you wrote 234 boxes as 234 schiaffi)
"schiaffi" is plural for "slap".
Another Demetrio's joke? ;-)
hehehe

Barbara,
I could not remember the word and made a guess, I have changed it thanks to you. Ha! Ha! Thank God you are there to help with the editing of my blog.
Hi, I read some of your entries and found that we have a LOT in common!
I'm italian and I have moved to Germany to follow my boyfriend and I live here now, but I have a lot to learn and not only about the language! I don't always like it here and I very often feel homesick and regret my independence, since I still don't have a job. But I love my man and this makes the whole thing worth the homesickness.
I will come around to read from you again. Bye ; )
Dear Eulinx,
I am glad to hear we have a lot in common. Where are you from in Italy? What are you doing now in Germany? How have you handled the language? I know how different they are. Hope to hear back from you soon.
