Martina explains everything before I arrive and her mother welcomes me in the apartment. Although she speaks Italian to me, I still can understand everything by her words and gestures. They are both very nice. The place is kinda authentic southern italian house, totally living together with Italian community and neighbors. Since I lived alone and I can not use the living room, it's quite hard for me to find a good place to use my laptop. These days are extremely hot in Catania. Without air conditioner, the life is a little tough and the fans can just give limited help. I can imagine it would be much better living here in winter.
