ALL ABOUT PARMA - IN ENGLISH!

Parma mia! is a blog for ex-pats and English-language speakers in Parma as well as for tourists who want to learn more. We've got lots of tips and tidbits to share: where to buy your foreign foods, favorite restaurants, what's on for kids during the weekends, local agricultural fairs, where you can find a babysitter or chiropractor and hints on how to make it through the bureaucratic maze that is Italy (see tabs below). This forum is for you: please share your ideas/events with us at parmamia@gmail.com or on FB at Parma Mia.

And remember to like Parma Mia on Facebook for weekly updates. Buon divertimento!

-Many Moms/Dads have found that the best way to meet other English (or same) language speakers is at the parks (Parco Ducale, La Cittadella...) on the playgrounds.

-Of course, school is another great way to make friends - both foreign and Italian. This can either be through your children's school   (The Scuola d'Europa is by large and far the most international of Parma) or by taking courses around Parma.

-For those of you working in EFSA, we've heard there is a newsletter which often speaks of their opportunities there to meet colleagues and/or colleagues' spouses. We're looking to obtain more information about this!
