During my five years of studies in Genoa, sometimes I took a taxi to go in University.

It is not as cheap as the bus but it’s a good way to get round the city.

They are convenient, punctual and clean.

There are a meters in the car.

If you are in genoa I raccomand you to contact prenotaxi. You can contact them with whatsapp and it’s possible pay with credit card and bancomat.

Today in Genoa there is an app and so, you can pay with your phone.

If you come to Spain and want to take a taxi, it´s useful to know some things about them.

In Madrid, which is the city where I live, normally in the center of the city it´s easy to take a taxi because there are many.

You can hail for a taxi on the street or, if you prefer to be picked up at a specific time and place, you can request it by phone.The taxi is more expensive than the metro or the bus. But it isn´t as fast as the metro because in Madrid there´s always a lot of traffic. And probably, the taxi is the most convenient transportation because you can go directly to the place you want.

Alghero or Alguer in a catalan language is a regional town in the north Sardinia. I've lived there for 29 years, i know it a beautiful city, but i couldn't find work, as a result i moved in Edinburgh.

It's a really beautiful city especially in summer. It's very green around the city center. There are a lot of green areas called pinewood, very beautiful during the spring.
The climate is very hot during summer, it's "impossible" to go out in the afternoon, for example july and august are the hottest months, perfect if you wont chillout in the beach.
If the summer season in warm, the winter is a bit cold windy and sometimes wet.

The center is very old and it has lots of historic building, particulary you can found a lot of churches, one of the most famous is the cathedral Santa Maria, inside there are one of the most beautiful altar in the city. Another point of interest it's the Muraglia, you can have a strool acroos it, and found a lot of typical restaurants.
The city's very famous as well as for the historic center even for the nightlife, most of the pub are located in a historic center, people spend a lot of the time outside and sometimes you can find a bit crowd, especially outside the pub.
However, it can be noise if you live there, as a result is better keep the windows closed.
During the winter "the face of the city changes", it's quiete, and most the place are closed, and all around  you can found only the local people.

Verona It's quite big city in the north of Italy.

It's a really beautiful city full of historical building with a modern suburbs. The wheater is almost always good but in summer the climate is really hot and humid and in winter a little bit cool..

The center is the most beautiful part of the city, it's quite small but really enchanting. Verona it's a very ancient city, probably was erect around 300 BC.. The oldest and better conserved monument probably is "Arena di Verona" that was built around the 3th century. In addiction it has a lot of medieval monuments further the Arena. There is also a river that crosses the city, its name is Adige. Currently the city is keeping very clean and people fortunately contribuite at this.

It's a lively city especially during the hottest seasons. People love walking around the city or along the river or going in some local restaurant for eating really good food. However, the city could be a bit noisy in the night because people stay out till late and sometimes it might be chaotic during some festivals.. maybe residents are not really happy about it..

If you decide to visit Hungary I would highly recommend you to explore (Teacher's note: this is a common error when using 'recommend' - 'I recommend you explore' doesn't require the 'to') at least another city after visiting the capital. Hungary is a very small country and you can easily get to any of the major cities by train in just few hours. One of the cities I would recommend to visit is Pécs, near the croatian (capital 'C'!) border. This city has a mediterranian (Mediterranean) vibe and spring kicks in earlier than anywhere else in the country. In the centre of the city you can find mainly the so called "walking streets", on which no cars are allowed. Vibrant coffee shops and restaurants are awaiting you, not to mention the eye-catching architecture of this place. I think Pécs is one of the most beautiful cities in Hungary. Have a walk on Király utca and try out a dish of Moskvicsslusszkulcs in Korhely restaurant! You won't regret it!

If are visiting Lausanne, I would recommend going to the cathedral. It's from the Middle-Ages and is decorated in a very rare style. You should take a boat trip around the lake. In terms of accommodation, you're better going to the Youth hostel because the hotels are very expansive. Lausanne has a very lively nightlife: a lot of bars, clubs and entertainment. Perhaps you know the Montreux jazz festival which is nearby.

If you want to escape from a hectic city, you should come to Sardinia.
In terms of accomodation, you're best booking in advance, specially if you are planning to come over in summer.
I recommend renting a car and driving from one side of the island to the other and discovering different places and beaches every day.
You should go to the restaurant and eat typical Sardinian food.

Hungary is a relatively cheap country compared to western countries. Due to this fact, other language speakers often visit Budapest – the capital city of Hungary – to spend their time and money. When it comes to foreign language knowledge, citizens in the capital city can help you, if you are in need of instruction, advice. In the countryside you will experience the opposite because of the lack of other language knowledge. One thing to keep in mind is the spiciness and high fat content of the traditional Hungarian dishes if you willing to try them. These dishes are scrumptious, but you can’t categorize them into the healthy food group.

"Cariocas" as we call people who lives in Rio tend to be very talkative and receptive, however most of them won't speak English.
One important thing to keep in mind is Rio's security. Only go to touristic (touristy) areas. Avoid renting a car since Rio is surrouded (surrounded) by favelas and GPS can accidently (accidentally) take you into some dangerous area(s).
Enjoy the food and the natural beauties (you mean the women - beauties - or the scenery - beauty?!).

In a Lebanese restaurant do not hesitate to ask for lots of mezzas because they are small portions. And you should arrive hungry because the mezzas, the main course, and the desserts (usually on the house for fruit) are very filling!
