I must admit life in Italy is really nice, especially when you have a large extended family around like I do. I'll share more on my blog about it but I am a little ashamed at how good the food is here and at how beautiful the country-side can be... :)
As for "Balsamiq", you got it: scroll to the bottom of http://www.balsamiq.com/company http://www.balsamiq.com/company for the full story.
- davidw 18y agoComplimenti! Vivere in Italia e` senz'altro bello, but if I may ask, how are you planning on dealing with the weak dollar, and more importantly, getting money from your company in the US to Italy? I mean the legalities of it, obviously, not the actual method. My friend in Padova is an accountant, and he was telling me that having a company in the US is pretty much "worthless". My guess is that many European countries would have similar issues.
- balsamiq 18y agoHey Davidw, good questions. For both, my answer for now is "ride it out and continue to live off of my Italian savings". When there'll be enough money in the US account to make it worth it, or when the money here runs out (whichever comes first), I'll cross the painful bridge of becoming a one-person multi-national. :( I am NOT looking forward to it and I expect to get a sour deal on taxes. It's also not a given that we'll stay in Italy long-term, we are giving it a try for a year or two.
