Hello, pronto...
Rebecca arrived in Italy two months after the rest of the family because she was finishing her university degree in social work. She and Craig attended a semester at the Università per Stragnieri in Perugia (one of the oldest universities in Europe). The campus is right in the middle of Perugia (a cultural center in the region of Umbria).Cell phones in Italy operate a little differently than in the United States. First, when you call a cell phone (either from a land line or another cell phone), the call is free to the recipient and the caller pays a per minute charge (about 20 cents per minute). Outgoing calls from a cell phone are also charged on a per minute basis. Most of the kids in school have cell phones (and like here in America, text messaging is very popular). When you answer the phone you say, "pronto" which means "ready." It can take several months to get a land line installed (although telephone technicians always say two weeks).
