italy or bangkok, but if you get it from italy make sure it is no scicilian
2 :
I live in Bangkok, and Bangkok is not the place to buy a computer, they are very expensive here, at least compared to the United States. I don't know the prices in Italy, but here's a website in Dubai: www.jumbocorp.com, where you can get an idea of what prices are like there. I would think Dubai would be good, as they are a duty free destination and promote themselves as a shopper's paradise. Good luck!

place doesnot matter, manufacturer matters
4 :
HK is the cheapest, they have online shops

if the cafe has a "b" compliant wifi...i see no reason that you could not connect. as for skype not so sure on the rates.

most certainly. The link is a hotspot list for Italy. Bon Voyage!

As long as yours is setup as wireless connection and the cafe has Wi-Fi or wireless connection for your laptop to see and connect to

Where can I watch the NBA finals in Rome, Italy

Where can I watch the NBA finals in Rome, Italy?
I'm going to be traveling to Rome next week. I'm from Orlando and a big Magic fan. *If* they make it to games 6 and 7 I'll be out of the country by then but I don't want to have to miss the game! Does anyone know of any places in Rome that would have the finals on satellite? I know I can stream it on a computer but I'm not planning on bringing my laptop so I want to know if any bars/pubs will have it.

nba is not so popular in italy, but of course if you go in a bar, or pub and ask about tha game they will let you see it ... i guess.... but consider that when they play here it's like 3 am... don't know if you find a bar that late !
2 :
i don't think that the free television shows it... the only is "sky", the satellite company, but it's not free, you have to pay it... you can find it only in some not economical hotels, maybe... anyway, as said, it's at 3am... you can't find a bar with a tv and sky opened at 3, it's so improbable!
3 :
Really? Here in Rome there will be the NBA??? are u sure?!?

Where can I buy a power outlet adapter for my American laptop in Venice, Italy

Where can I buy a power outlet adapter for my American laptop in Venice, Italy?
I forgot to bring a power adapter to Italy. My laptop has a different outlet plug and won't plug into Italy's wall sockets without an adapter. I don't need a converter because my laptop will accept between 100 - 250 V. I would prefer to buy one at an electronics shop. Are there any electronics stores in Venice, Italy? I tried looking for one but was unsuccessful. Please provide an address and/or the store's website. Thanks! A Venezia, dove compro un adattatore di alimentazione per il mio computer di Stati Uniti, per favore? Si prega di includere un indirizzo. Grazie!

I get mine at Ipercoop which isn't specifically an electronics store. Bricoio or Bricofer also have them. If you really want to go to an electronics store to buy one, you can go to Mediaworld in Mestre: http://www.mediaworld.it/punti-vendita/scheda-punto-vendita/index.php?regione=VEN&localita=44 You might try some of the camera shops in Venice itself like Centro Foto Video at5896, Cannaregio, This is right on the main route between the train station and Rialto.

I saw one at the train station in Venice. Also, you can check to see if the hotel carries one either in their gift shop or for hotel guests
