One of my lottery fantasies is to buy a villa in Italy. There are obvious reasons for that. One reason that's not so obvious - for me to go to Paris, Berlin, Spain, Egypt or Russia costs maybe $2000 EACH unless it's a long trip.
From a base in Italy or anywhere in Europe for that matter you can be in Paris in an afternoon for cheap. Just to have a European base from which to explore that side of the world.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
