Hey kids! Let's talk about money. Do you know what a euro is? A euro is money that people use in many countries in Europe.
One euro is equal to about 32 NT dollars.
一歐元等於32塊台幣左右。
You can't buy much with a euro. I guess you can buy some candy or gum at 7-Eleven.
But in Italy, there is a town where you can buy a house for just 1 euro, or 32 NT!
義大利有個地方，你用一歐元就可以買一棟房子。
The town is called Maenza, and it is close to Rome. The houses are very old. They were built hundreds of years ago. No one has lived in them for a long, long time.
這個靠近羅馬的小鎮叫做Maenza, 那裡的房子非常古老，有好幾百年的歷史，而且很久很久沒有人住了。
But there is one thing people must do. They must agree to repair the houses. It might cost a lot of money to fix them up. After people fix up the buildings, they can live in them. Or, they can use them for a business, like a restaurant or a store.
想住在那裡的話要先整修房子，整修費用有可能是天價喔。不過修理好了之後可以住在那裡或者開店開餐廳。
What do you think? Would you like to buy a home for 32 NT in Italy? Why not? I think Italian food is great!
