What happens to the thousands of gifts pope gets?
Pieces of art go to Vatican museum, the rest is (e.g. videocameras) are given to poor families.

How is it with phones in Vatican?
Telephone network is one of the best in the world. Telephone exchange is from the year 1886, so it was the first one in the world. Each day there's 18 000 phonecalls from abraod, during Christams it's 25 000 phonecalls a day Smile

Airoplanes and Vatican?
When you are in Vatican, you don't have to be afraid that a plane would fall on your head. Flights over Vatican are forbidden.
