mi sono innamorato Italiano

As I sit in this cozy hotel room and peep outside the huge window of my room enjoying the Spring in Italy, I am very very much tempted to write about things I see and am experiencing here. So here you go with a peak a boo into my life.

Italy in my view is very much like India, by which I mean people mannerism is very similar to that of Indians with few notable changes. And all these I should tell you guys more from how I experienced it...

Greeting
People greet to every one they see face to face, a smile and Bonjourno(Good Day) you will get it for free from everyone you meet as you step outside, I loved it, I have smiled to each and everyone here.
But then when they meet people they know usually a hand shake and a kiss on cheek is exchanged. wah ;) i was so thrilled when a Man and woman did it in public(Proper Indian in me was awake) but after a little while I understood the same is done between the same gender as well... hmmm no comment!

Airports\Bus Stops\Train Stations\Metro Stations
Place:
Its just too easy to follow maps and reach places, bus\trains come bang on time if not proper details are put up on board. So its very easy to reach your destination(hmmm remember this is a land where people dont speak English, just imagine getting lost here. Sign language is all you have!!!)
And few places are neat and few are littered with cigarrate buds and wafer covers, as i walked through it I really thought for the huge population in India we are still ok to be that much littered. Not like i am justifying but I think with proper education even India could be very clean.
People:
Oh My god, I have heard all through out my life that women speak more and women speak non stop, for people who still think this is a fact please pack your bag and come to Italy. Men talk non stop to fellow men, with all possible expressions, sound modifications and big laughter sighhhhhhhhh and least they care about others around or the place they are in !!!! Oh and women yes they do talk but more busy in picking cosmetics from their Gucci\LV\Prada\D&G handbags and getting dressed up!!!!But then they very very helpful and are really friendly like people back home.

Histrory\Culture 

Italy is very rich in History for its Roman civilization which we all have studied and I tried hard to mug it up in my middle school Social Studies! But the best thing is they have Preserved it very very well and Places  I visited like Rome and Venice are very tourist friendly and you will really want to come back again and enjoy the same place more.Our India is also very very similar isnt it? we are so rich in our Culture and history and you will never have enough of India and Indians.(Is it only Biased me speaking? or do you all feel the same too?)

Food
Variety is the spice of life here! people are very foody and have very good taste for Food and wine. Beautiful food every where if you are non vegetarian ah its heaven for you... name a meat you get it here.Again very similar to India isnt it???

Fashion
Oh my...I just can tell and finish about the fashion sense of people here every single person is dressed so well, you will be dumb fold seeing Men and Women, in their beautiful Jackets, Scarfs, hats, gloves, Sun glasses, shoes and awesome Make up. And Men and women are very pretty and very tall here. I being the shortest creature I got neck pain because of continuous observation( you can call it staring :P, oh but I cant stop doing it...) But alas unlike India, you will feel really out of the space if u are not dressed well! people really give a bad stare at you if you are not dress according to the place! sighhhh

Hmmm so many more things i can keep writing... But i guess thats enough for you to have a glimpse of life in Italy. And also to know that I am missing India...
But I must admit that mi sono innamorato Italiano, :) meaning I fell in love with Italy.
