Visit to Italy

I spent four days in Italy to attend a conference and also to visit Venice for a holiday. Italy is expensive. This must be due to their economic progress, since joining Europe

Thirty years ago, Italy was known to be cheap. Many people took a holiday in Italy for art, culture and to buy cheap things. How things have changed!

I had to pass through immigration in Frankfurt Germany. After that, I am allowed to move freely into Italy and back, without passing through immigration.

I hope that the countries of South East Asia can work together to simplify travel within the region.

Maybe, by working together in a larger economic zone, our countries can make better economic progress, similar to Europe.
