Italian village for sale







Very appealing and interesting ad about a whole Italian village on sale at the price of a 600 feet flat in HK!


Also read about the e-kiss machine.  But it is criminally gross!

Weird World - Japanese Scientist Unveils Internet Kissing Machine - e-kiss:
e-kiss-internet-kissing0machine-2.jpg

A Japanese scientist has unveiled a kissing machine that simulates kissing online. Called the e-kiss, it's designed for long-distance couples starved of physical contact. It is absolutely ridiculous. The tongue like mechanism resembles a straw - about as far removed from a tongue as you can get - and the whole object looks more like a breathalyser than a mouth. When one lover waggles their straw, their movement is mirrored by the other lover's straw to simulate the kiss. Unbelievable scenes. Via


 

 


 


 


 


 


 


It’s a Steal


Buy a Medieval Italian Village for €550,000



Hi

The medieval Italian village of Valle Piola in the Gran Sasso national park, Abruzzo, is up for sale for €550,000. The village consists of a church, 11 dilapidated stone houses and two farmers’ barns, making it a perfect place to play hide and seek or stow away your mother-in-law safely out of ear-shot.

Despite the money that needs to be injected into the project, it represents immense value. For the same price you can get hold of about 600 square feet in Mid-Levels. Which begs the question – why on earth do we live here?

Apparently it requires another €2 million to get it up to your mother-in-law’s uncompromising standards but once she’s gone you can turn it into a boutique hotel. Or a shrine.

In fact over in Santo Stefano di Sessanio, a similar project involving a cute hotel in a venerable Italian village has been a great success. You can stroll down cobbled streets, pick from a few sublime little restaurants, and generally play mayor.

Forget a one up/one down in Stanley – head to Valle Piola and buy the whole village.

It’s money well spent.

Price: €550,000

  4. my colleague who is a Brit, is buying a farm in UK , of course at a fraction of HK's price. This is common to Westerners.
