You know you have been in Italy too long when
Entre el trabajo y las pocas ganas de escribir que tengo en este periodo, este blog tendrà que sobrevivir a fuerza de chistes por email, fotos y traducciones a peticiòn.
Lo que sigue està en inglés -sorry for that-, y es el tipico “sabes que has estado en …. mucho tiempo cuando”. Tomado de la web Bleedingespresso.com. Borré las que no me gustaban, y agregé algunas de los comentarios que estaban buenas, sin màs:
You know you have been in Italy too long when:
…you can have a conversation with a stranger comprised entirely of facial expressions, hand gestures, and no words.
…you can say, “Boh?” and you’ve said a mouthful.
…you wait in line for three hours at the Post Office…to pay a bill.
…your taxi driver’s hands are too busy waving & threatening other drivers to actually touch the steering wheel.
…your ability to digest milk (at any time of day) and drink ice cold drinks even while eating hot food astounds.
…you’re the only person at IKEA without their entire extended family in town.
…someone you just met invites you to dinner at their house.
…posted schedules, hours of operation, etc. mean precisely nothing (except sciopero ones).
…someone, somewhere is in sciopero.
…you get honked at for letting an old lady cross the street.
…your friend says “I quit drinking coffee. Now I only have three cups a day.”
…when you pay extra for the faster train ( ESor IC) and still arrive an hour late.
…when you see more vespas than people in a city.
….when you see the local kids eating nutella on everything and anything for breakfast, with chocolate on the side
…when motorcyclists drive on the sidewalk;
…when two cars and one motorino are neatly fitted into one parking spot
…when you can get an excellent espresso for less than a euro just about anywhere and it isn’t served in a paper cup
… when you can’t remember what food doesn’t involve either mozzarella, oregano, pesto or something tomato based… or all of the above
…you ask for cappuccino after lunch and they all look at you funny
…the only remedy for a bad stomach is white rice, olive oil and parmesan cheese washed down with hot cammomile tea
…When you walk into your neighborhood bar and they are already making your drink of choice, and later when you get up to pay, one of the regulars has already paid your bill.
…when you offend someone by telling them you went to a certain city without telling them first, because they know someone who knows someone who could have met you at the station.
…when you find it perfectly normal for someone you’ve never met to pick you up at the station and take you to their home for dinner, because they know someone who knows someone you know.
when you get a phone call that you need to run to the station to pick someone up whom you’ve never met before, and you don’t think twice about it.
… when you go to do a construction project and you ask the muratore (mason) how much it’s gonna cost and he tells you “stai tranquilla” – stay calm.
…bueno si tuviera tiempo y ganas comentaria en cada una
note per bene: Pa’ los italianos, take it easy! it’s just for fun.

http://www.lacroque.com/2008/12/cadena-de-enlaces-promociona.html
Ahora imaginate que los zaragozanos llegan al programa es dificil pero posible los que hemos colaborado y participado mas que nada que hare yo el blog del viaje de ellos se nombrara se pondra la candena, e incluso entradas propias hablando de los blogs que mas hayan colaborado. Se haran ellos unas camisetas con el nombre de su blog que se la pondran en el viaje.
Si no le interesase la cadena tambien si pudiera colaborar comentando el vido en su blog yo escribira en mi blog una entrada agradeciendoleslo y en el caso de que salieran elegidos para el programa seria nombrado.
Espero vuestra respuesta para saber si contamos con vosotros.
Uff!!!, las reconozco casi todas!, incluso más de una de las que ponen en los comentarios del blog que enlazas me han sucedido… Italia, Italia, come ti fai odiare e amare allo stesso tempo??
You know you have been in Italy too long when when you have tasted all the special food you can try but that’s quite impossibile…
