Well he's kinda pope till he dies so I'd count that as a permanent residence!

Here's what I found on Wiki:
QUOTE
Citizenship of the Vatican City is granted iure officii, which means it is conferred upon some of those who have been appointed to work in certain capacities at the Vatican, and it is usually revoked upon the termination of their employment. During the period of employment citizenship may also be extended to a Vatican citizen's spouse (unless the marriage is annulled or dissolved, or if a conjugal separation is decreed) and children (until, if they are capable of working, they turn 25, or in the case of daughters, if they marry).


I realise just cos they have citizenship that they might not be permanent residents, but wouldn't some pretty much be living there till they died? Or would they have another status anyway?

...And yes, the answer to my riddle was Vietnam smile.gif

Florida boasts the World's largest and deepest freshwater spring, located near Tallahassee, Florida with Swimming, Glass Bottom Boats, Guided River Tours, Bird Watching and Historic Lodge with Dining. Name the spring.


Is this the Fountain of Youth place?

Are we allowed Googling? Because I'd never get that one.

Can you do anything today without Googling? The human race would become extinct if Google were to disappear.

We have to use Google because only Grn and Google know the highest mountain in Finland, and only Google and I know the deepest spring in Florida. It's not a mindless exercise, as there is an art to finding things in Google.

I suggest we ask things that we know are going to be hard to find in Google.

How about where is the longest surfing pipeline wave in the world?

Does anyone do the Conde Nast Traveler "Where Are You" contest?

OK then, it's Mount Haltia.

I can't find your question on Google, Martin...therefore, it doesn't exist...

Nope, I have not done that quiz, and I'm terrible at it.

Goodness no. Next months cannot be further from a desert. It's somewhere in China I think.

May be he is not classed as a permanent resident as there will be a different Pope in however many years? Who knows... They have their own post office though don't they?
Yes, it's a State of it's own. Not a part of Italy...donYan
