The method
Dinnertime
The mother of my godson has a very interesting method of finding a good restaurant.
Around dinnertime she goes out and she looks for a couple of Italian men on the street,
Then she says: “These men are probably going to a restaurant, they are probably locals, they seem to enjoy good food. Let’s follow them.”
We found an excellent restaurant last night, thanks to this method.
I’m not sure if Italian men mind being followed by us. But I’m pretty convinced they didn’t notice. After all this is not Baghdad.

Wasn't your mother a fan of Obama? It looks like she gonna have it her way.
supertip. I'm gonna use it in Rumania
The problem with Venice is, that the number of locals gets smaller and smaller. How to find a good restaurant over there in 5 years time...?
Illusions make the world
It depends on, how your “mother of your godson” (why do I feel a distance?), selects the suitable men, I think, but I also can love this illusion.....

Funny, but on the picture of "Money from the maffia" you can admire Sander and Johannes, the two assistants of Arnon.
