    Landlady demands "clean" US bills for deposit

    Hello!

    Just thought i'd say hi, I've been living here for close to 3 years and i hadn't hear of this before. After having to put up with my ranting about BsAs for a month, my friend Mary finally recommended I join and here I am. Here's a pic of the "fast" check out line at Disco in Palermo. Rant away.
