Well nothings really happened in the last two days, but I still want to talk to all you fine people. At least the ones who weren't scared off by that monster of a post about Milan (expect another one for Venice). So I figure I'll do a post about some comparisons and strange things here.
1. Driving: If you see a stop sign in America you stop, right? Well here all driving laws and signals are pretty much optional. They stop for their lights, but it is common for them to get sick of waiting and go through. Also, in America, if your doing 100 on the Turn-Pike for a good stretch chances are you will get pulled over. People speed like crazy here, and I think it's because I can count the number of cop cars I've seen in one month on one hand. That being said, 100mph/150kmph is an average speed on the highways here. (I wear my seat-belt Mr. Olivo)
2. They eat horse, enough said. I've met one person who doesn't eat horse and she made me swear that I wouldn't do it again. She's the only person that rides them though that I've seen around here.
3. I haven't had breakfast since I left Jersey. They do not, I repeat, do not eat breakfast here. They don't see a point to it because people don't go out until after lunch anyway.
4. Divorces are rare here, because if you do get divorced they judge makes you live together for a good 3 years to try and work it out anyway, so they don't really happen. Isn't that nice.
5. I have pasta for lunch every...single...day, no exceptions. Then dinner usually consists of a meat or fish
6. School is 6 days a week, but only for 5 hours a day. This is better than the 8 hours I'm used to :)
7. There is no monster, I've searched 2 department stores and have been to 2 airports looking for the drink. They do not have it, all they have is red-bull. Anyone who reads this and is thinking of sending a gift or package or what-not, put a few monsters in the box, please and thank-you.
8. Tradition is still prevalent here. Women mainly grow to have families and become good cooks. Make-a the sandwich. Scherzo
9. Kids at age 14 are allowed to drive scooters to get everywhere. These things are perfect size for Italian cities.
10. All kids here know their classical music like an encyclopedia.
11. All women are drop dead gorgeous here
I'll be sure to post again soon. Ciao

Was the Monster plee directed at anyone in particular?? hint hint... lol trying to figure out how to send oreos so they are not a bag of crumbs when they get there.
ReplyDeleteThe drop dead gorgeous seems like a big advantage to me :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was for anyone who want to send stuff. And to Roy Klien, I'm not allowed to say I'm thinking the same thing, oops lol
