L’Italia vista dagli americani
Ho letto un fantastico post su un blog americano, che descrive in un centinaio di punti le cose più importanti da sapere per fare una vacanza in Italia.
Se non avete tempo per leggere tutto il testo, queste sono le parti migliori:
The rudeness and bitchiness of Italian shop assistants, or commesse, is legendary, especially if you’re not a size 0. They apparently consider a size 4 “overweight”. Don’t take it personally.
You have to wear plastic gloves to pick up food in the produce section of the grocery store or old ladies will yell at you.
Alfredo sauce is not Italian. Don’t ask for it!
Frappuccino doesn’t exist, either. However, all other coffee drinks whose name Starbucks has stolen usually mean something different than what you think you’re ordering.
Italian television spends one day showing soccer and 6 days talking about it. Other programming includes plenty of half-naked dancing girls and inappropriate nudity commercials- and sometimes Formula 1 races, per priority list set above.
Vi segnalo anche la relativa discussione su FriendFeed che non è niente male :)
