I don't remember that.
I don't remember that.
I don't remember bars in Palermo being full of English-speakers at the time, either, just the occasional group.
Overall, though, I feel like the article is mostly accurate.
However, the supermarkets seemed fine, not too expensive and reasonably well stocked.
More concerningly the blue rate went from 60s to 75+ while I was there. And the withrawl taxes added to the atms at the time (2k for 2.3k)
why not write that as 0002019 or 000002019?
