I can now go here and know beyond doubt that the cream I order is most certainly not chocolate, no matter what my senses my tell me. WHEW!<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, this is not lost in translation. The literal translation makes just as little sense. 'Joe' is just another in a long list of Italians that like to randomly put english words together for effect. We do the same in the states if you think aout it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33381120.post-31801226487502576262007-02-13T09:06:00.000+01:002007-02-13T09:06:00.000+01:00Yes, I'm still shaking my head on this one in conf...Yes, I'm still shaking my head on this one in confusion. I keep thinking it's some inside joke I'm just not in on...<BR/><BR/>Johna-- can I call you Johna? Ha ha.. so I haven't ever heard of that hostel but I looked up the address and like most hostels it's near the station, but I think you can probably go by the reviews since they are from fellow hostellers... important thing is cleanliness and safety I suppose. Termini area isn't really "dangerous" per se, just kind of a random, mixed bag typical "train station" zone like any big city, just take normal big city precautions for your belongings, etc. and you should be fine!!Shelley - At Home in Romehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852984952753737225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33381120.post-20449977368852613172007-02-13T05:53:00.000+01:002007-02-13T05:53:00.000+01:00maybe his quote was lost in translation??? or mayb...maybe his quote was lost in translation??? or maybe that's his whole marketing statergy, to attract customers to come in & ask about cream & chocolateMadelynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959014240938309081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33381120.post-55335832810102285442007-02-13T03:27:00.000+01:002007-02-13T03:27:00.000+01:00Haha.

Haha.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've been looking around hostelworld.com for some adequate (and safe!) lodgings, and this one seems pretty nice. http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/LegendsHostel-Rome-10610<BR/><BR/>It's called 'Legends Hostel', and it has some good reviews.
