Things I now appreciate about you:
air conditioning
cold drinks
widely available wifi
less pigeons
walking speed
Things I think this country might be doing better:
food
coffee (caffè!)
speed of life
fashion (no crocs. anywhere)
It's funny how absence made me appreciate my home on a whole different level; as much as I love Italy, and I do love it lots, there is always this sense of being an outsider looking in, in the sense that there are some cultural things I'll never get entirely (hand gestures, etc). But it's getting better; I can navigate bars (not alcoholic ones so much as caffeinated ones) with ease and maintain conversations in Italian. But there still remains this overwhelming desire to keep learning.
And so it goes.
The last few days I've taken a bunch of pictures. Coming soon to this blog!
