I've been in Italy for 3 months now - and I'm starting to get really sick of it. Nothing works, and whenever you agree upon something with someone, it's sure not going to happen. The usual answer to any question seems to be "yes, we'll do it", but this "yes" means basically "no - but I'm not even gonna bother your with telling you". I know there's cultural differences, I know you should adapt to the locals, but this attitude is really starting to piss me off cause I find it quite rude ...
Well, you should take it easy, as we do (I am Italian). Learn that nothing is so important, that there is no need to hurry, enjoy what you have... You don't get what you want today? Well, it will come, eventually, one day...
No guys (and girls) do not be rude against Claude.
I am italian and I agree 100%...
we should start thinking that people will not come to italy just for the sun and the food, and if NOTHING WORKS here, they are right in complaining.
Yes, I am also new from Kenya and been around for two months in my third month now. I have moved two houses as the hse owners never keep their word as requested. How would an italian on Holiday in my country feel if the holiday he paid for wasnt as he/she expected. It's a small world and i will never advise anyone for this kind of destination.!!!!!!!!!
Well, I'm not Italian.
I have been in Italy more than 3 months.
What I felt is so many people are just crazy about money and fassion and they do not have real dream. But I guess it's not only problem of Italian.
Anyway, eventhough everthing is not easy in Italy, I love here. ^^
That's our Land, and Italy and italians are just perfect with eachother.
It's a mess, it's true, but italian learnt how to live there.
Italy is not perfect, true, but has its own particoular flavour: or you like it, or you don't. That's it. And just because Italy has always been like that: sun, traffic, chaos, fantasy, ridicoulus politicians, exc..
It's all part of our Theatre.
I hope you will still keep enjoying our show.
who's very bad in school, behaves like a rebel breaking rules the whole time pissing the teachers(in this case the EU commission)off..and just like for kids, the reason for such a behaviour lies in the edication, that is in his parents (i mean the italian central and periferic administration)..if the parents give a good example the kid behave well and responsable as a consequence..if the government, like often happened, give a bad example..the result is that nobody trust it fully, everybody get suspicious and take care of his own intersts(i italy definitely the family's and relatives' good...by the way see also the situation with the trash-collapse in napoli where everybody produces it, but nobody wants to take it),while a total absence of political constructive idealism and beliefs, envy, frustrations and arid nihilism are ruling this country!!!Local administration should invest with a long term in the furture and stop occupyig the too much confy institutional seats seizing the day and caring about caching votes and euros .Young people should realize once for all that that times have changed,for now the web community is more informed and critic! this country can be changed and work better if everyone makes his part and pass first through duties and than through rights(in italy it always works cathegorically the contrary)!im 25 and im fully engaged in making italy an actually civil and democratic country...and come on people from the south lets give it up with the mafia and fuck it up once for all..we're all tire of that and the waste of resources that it brings..taxes have to be paid the the country, not to the criminals!and the guys we are in 2008 i a globalized world..it looks pretty grotesque still having a feudal sistem such as the mafia slowing down the entire country!people from the south wake up and rise against it!
well well well, after 6 years living over here I have to say , I like this country, from south till north ,people are different south and north , work are different south and north, way to speak south and north , you have to see south and north.... if you want to visit go to south you want to leave go to north .
Italy are south and north
