. Subway stations are usually marked on city maps but with buses it may be more complicated. That’s why asking this question can make your life a lot easier. Just add the name of your destination at the end of the phrase.
Dove è la stazione dei treni / della metro? – Where is the train station/ subway station?
‘Stazione dei treni’ means ‘a train station’, while ‘stazione della metro’ is ‘a subway station’. They should be marked on the city map but if you don’t have one, or if you are not sure where you are exactly, you should definitely ask someone.
C’è uno sconto per studenti/bambini? – Is there a student/children discount?
If you are a student, or traveling with children, this is one of the most important phrases for a trip to Italy. Usually there are discounts for transportation, entry tickets, etc. and you don’t want to miss out on these just because you don’t know how to ask.
Quanto costa (il biglietto)? – How much does it (the ticket) cost?
If you need to ask for the price of anything in Italy, it’s enough to say ‘Quanto costa?’ and point to the item in question. If you want to clarify that you are asking about the ticket price, just add ‘il biglietto’ which means ‘the ticket’.
I hope you will remember these phrases and use them during your trip to Italy. If you are interested to know more, check this free online course on Italian for travelers (it takes only 30 minutes to complete it!).Is Your 'Thing' What You Expected?
A Guest Post From Kelly Shanda was very nice to let me post on her blog today to tell you about something that is so near and dear to my heart. Life takes us places, sometimes, we never expect.
I planned on being a wife, a mommy, a teacher, but recently I became something I never expected—a published author! (thud!!) How I got to this point is a very long post, but it can be summed up with one word: God. God had more, different, better plans for me than I ever thought of. Looking back, I can see where he put stumbling blocks, gave encouragement, and helped me along the rat maze of life to get me where I am today. And guess what? I’m not alone because He’s doing the same thing for you. Do you have a dream so far out there that you don’t ever see it happening? Do you have a goal that you question if you can reach it? Do you doubt what you ‘think’ God called you to do? I know exactly what you are going through. Last year, I decided I was going to write a novel. I had always wanted to write on (well, it was on the bucket list anyway. I never thought it would actually happen.). The thought wouldn’t leave my mind, “Why not now?” The kicker is that I have three kids seven and under. I have a full-time, out-of-the-house job, a husband, a house (which is a tad bit messier now…). Why ‘now’ would pop into my mind, I have no idea. *I* didn’t think I had enough time. God knew differently. I’m so glad He did. Long story short, I finished the novel in March and started querying agents and publishers. In July, I signed a contract with Astraea Press and it was released on October 9th!!! I never thought I’d be a publisher author. I never thought I’d reach that ‘goal’.
Many times when I got rejection letters from agents or publishers I doubted if I even should do this. Know what? God knew all along what was best. I’m so grateful He did, and I pray that this book changes lives or at least causes people to think about God more in their daily lives while they are reading it.
What about you? Has God given you dreams you can't imagine coming true? Or has He done something for you that you never saw coming?
Sixteen year old Rachel Harker expects the church sponsored hiking trip in the Smoky Mountains to be short and painless. Four days later, injured and scared, Rachel prays to just make it home alive. Asher Jenkins, fellow hiker and handsome skeptic who is only on the hike so he doesn’t have to go home and face his abusive ‘uncle’, finds Rachel in the woods and tries to get her back to Deep Creek Trail. A small hole hidden under the fall leaves causes her ankle to twist and forces Asher to leave her to get help. As night falls, he comes back, unable to find the right trail. As hours stretch into days, an unexpected rainstorm bears down the mountain, flooding Deep Creek and cutting off their way home. Rachel puts all of her faith in God to save them. Asher thinks believing in God is a waste of time and does what he can to prove to Rachel that He doesn’t exist. With their food gone and the temperature dropping, time is running out. Will Rachel be able to do what needs to be done to get home? And can Asher find faith when he needs it the most? CROSSING THE DEEP can be found at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, and www.astraeapress.com.

Article: People talk about energy everywhere. Green energy, for example. Then, energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession. "Energy independence" and its rhetorical  companion "energy security" are, however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through. What is it that we want independence from, exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle  of biofuel  available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental influence of domestic  energy production in order to cut back imports? Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic
