Still in Italy, still cold, raining now for 4 days in a row...

Still waiting for our Visa. Today I've been studying the embassy site to know a little bit more about our visa:

-Why can we have this Visa: "Section 101(a)(15)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides nonimmigrant visa status for a national of any of the countries with which the United States maintains an appropriate treaty of commerce and navigation, who is coming to the United States to carry on substantial trade, including trade in services or technology, principally between the United States and the treaty country, or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the national has invested, or is actively in the process of investing substantial amount of capital." It makes me think I'm important!

- "This visa must be renewed every other year, but there is no limit to how many times one can renew". Which is good, 'cause many Visas let you stay in the US for 3 or 5 years, but after this period you need to stay 365 days away from the Country.

-"Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of nationality, may receive derivative visas in order to accompany the principal alien". First thing... ALIEN! hahahah I love this word :). Second If i wanted, you could be "THE WIFE" and wouldn't need to do a process for my own... but I'm happy I have mine. It makes me feel useful :P. in any case, I'm not married in Italy yet... this cross country documentation takes tiiiiiiime.

Good things about still being here:
- We've been snowboarding often these days...
- I went to see the Musical Mamma mia! yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. Mostly at the end of the musical, when everyone was clapping, and Rafa looked at me and said: Imagine ET's looking at us right now... we look like a bunch of seals clapping our hands:


Worst thing about being here (besides the rain and the cold):
- I SOLD MY ACDC TICKETS FOR 69 EUROS(same price as I've payed), BECAUSE I WOULDN?T BE HERE AT MARCH 19, BUT NOW THEY COST 200 EUROS!!! AHhhh! :@



Today's new word:
Yield: dare la precedenza - dar a precedencia.

There is no need to remember me that there is a Pearl Jam album with this name... I just didn't get it until yesterday!!!
