Tej Kohli has recently been to Italy with his family. Italy is not like every second tourist destination. This place has a distinct appeal and swathes a rich heritage of culture.

Dare il benvenuto all’Italia ( Welcome to Italy) - Tej Kohli
When in Rome you should always do as the Romans do. This may be a cliché of sorts but it also applies to any Italy travel that you may undertake n the near future. Italy is not extremely strict on what outsiders coming in do, but they will not thank you for any disruption to their customs or way of life either! This is why it is important to do a little research before you go!
Italy travel can be a whole lot of fun, but not if you flaunt your own beliefs if they are completely different to the Italian way of life. Italians are extremely proud people and will not tolerate any form of outside interference. For example, family is extremely important to them and if you show disrespect they will protect their own interests and call you on it. Always be respectful, no matter what. Italy is a very traditional country and the man is still responsible for the household. This will become apparent in restaurants if you dine as a couple. The waiter will always speak to the man and not the woman!
You will find that Italy has an extremely laid back way of life, which is perfect for a holiday but bear in mind that there is a siesta time. Although you can still be out and about at that time during your Italy travel, do not expect any help from people until it ends. This is more in the south than the north because of the heat. However, no matter where you go, there are little customs that you should be aware of so do your research in advance.

Tej Kohli brings to you some wonderful gadgets of 2008 that will mark a new epoch in technology:

1. FM Hands-free Car Kit for iPhone
Another FM transmitter for today, this is the iPhone FM Hands-free Car Kit. Transmit range will be 88.1MHz to 107.9MHz and comes with an adjustable neck and also charges other devices such as music player, mobile phone, GPS or others with 5V, 1A USB external socket. It is powered by the cigarette lighter outlet in your car. It’s available for $34.78.

2. Wobbling egg-shaped speakers
It would be fun to try out these wobbling egg shaped speakers by Brando. See if they really work just as well as a regular one. They also totter, but don’t fall, if you flick them.
“The speakers come in black or red, twist open for enhanced bass output, and run for several hours off of a USB-rechargeable battery. Available at Brando for $15 a piece.”
