krabbe:
Hi all! I've been lurking since S10 & decided to join in on the fun.
For what it's worth, I think the Capri newspaper copy is a fake. I used to be a graphic designer for a short period of time, but it looks like the "newspaper" is actually just a normal print out which was then scanned. Notice the tell tale printer marks on some of the sentences (e.g. the last line of 2nd paragraph). Also, I believe the text in newspapers around the world are set the same way, what we call "justified alignment", to make the text align with both the left and right margins so the sides are even (am I making sense? Sorry English is not my mother tongue). It is to make the newspaper easy to read & to save space. The typesetting in the so-called Anacapri Locale was too sloppy, even for a small town publication. Anacapri is a small town near Capri, btw.
I'm also suspicious on the type of paper used, but then again this one is somewhat debatable.
Regarding "autumn" or "fall" 2010, I think we have to ask an Italian about the term they use to describe the season, but as far as I know only the US uses the term "fall" for that particular season. So it might be an American writing in English what he/she wanted to say then had the text translated to Italian without realising Italy doesn't translate it as such.
Anyway, happy hunting. Let me know if they're heading to SEA, I'll keep a lookout.

has arrived safely in St. Petersburg. The most interesting thing about the flight from Stockholm were the participants and cameramen of what HAD to be "The Amazing Race!" :duno:

There is a Blue Grotto in Malta, if that helps.
I've been there and it is a great sighting to be on the Race.
