PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE READING MY COMMENT OF IT…OTHERWISE IT WON’T MAKE NO DAMN SENSE

I can see that Mr. Mitzman has a point, and I myself can vouch for the existence of any one of these diseases.

My only tiny little itty bitty scruple is this….Yes we Italians may have a lot of problems, which I have noticed, every other European country likes to point out, but just because we have them it doesn’t mean that they have to become one of the “most read” articles on the BBC.

I understand that our quirks may have a certain appeal to the anglo-saxon-oh-so-stoic mentality, and that they can be considered endearing sometimes, but I personally resent the writer’s tongue-in-cheek tone of this article.

I am sure we can point out numerous little quirks in the UK, which would provide a good laugh or two in Italy, but if I turn right now to any Italian online newspaper somehow the content seems a Bit More Serious.

In conclusion I also find that there is a mild glorification of ignorance in Your article Mr. Mitzman. I wouldn’t really call NOT KNOWING where any of your inner organs are, a necessarily good thing but you know to each their own.

Lots of Love,

Sofia

5. All the coins decide to spill out of my wallet all over the floor of the cafe.

6. Nice waitress brings us new coffee and tea.

7. Realise the old guy sitting at the bar has been staring at me intently from the minute i walked in.

8. Trying everything to avoid eye contact with the guy, which is impossible seeing as he is straight in my eyeline.

9. Finally guy leaves, but friend opposite me tells me he is staring at me through the window of the cafe.

10. Feel like a zoo animal with a headache, coins all over the floor and no coffee.

….and it’s not even midday.

Before I dive into this post, I would like to first like to give a shout-out to my Grams, whose birthday is in two days- which I will honor by not using swear words on this blog for as long as I possibly can. She wrote me a letter last week which warmed my heart and made me miss L.A. a…

Lets get down to business.

Why? Because I am a serious Masters student at serious school.

Does that matter? Absolutely NOT.
