wackadoodle americans

have i learned any italian yet? um..un due tre cuattro and so on. and the hand motions to say eff you to the forward italian men in the streets who try to grab your goodies. the latter is extra useful.

other things ive learned-

wackadoodle americans call one panini a panini and add an S to make it plural. here if you order a panini, you are going to get multiple...so if youre ever in italy and you want a panini, say vorrei un panino. then youll have one meal rather than breakfast lunch and dinner...

also- eggs do not come in a dozen but ten.

when ordering food, putting up your index finger does not mean you want one of something- they use their thumbs as their number one. so when you put up your pointer, they assume your thumb counts for one and give you two. can you tell im eating a lot? at least its awesome food.

pigeons pooping on your clothes hanging outside is a REALITY.

showers are little. shaving your legs is a struggle.

the jenna marbles face will never make you ugly enough for an 

italian man to leave you alone on a dance floor or in a bar.

smiling too much pegs you as an american. so...everyone knows im american.

italian markets have awesome farm grown organic veggies. im never going back to giant, whole foods or a&p.

im sure im forgetting some- ill update as i come across them.
